About The Company

BuildGood is a fundraising growth agency. We help nonprofits change the way they find new donors, retain them longer, and grow lifetime value, building a system that creates moments of generosity from first-time giver to legacy leaver.

Our approach is rooted in understanding why people give. Generosity grows when people feel motivated—when giving supports their identity, creates a sense of connection, and makes supporters feel competent and effective in their giving. We design fundraising systems around building donor motivation and leading first-time donors to become lifelong supporters.

We partner with nonprofits across North America to grow durable revenue, from donor acquisition and direct mail to digital fundraising, retention, and mid-level giving. Our work blends brand and direct response.

We're a growing, research-informed fundraising agency with a clear point of view and big ambitions—and you can help shape what comes next.

Is This Job For You?

Do you get excited about turning fundraising ideas into creative that makes people stop, pay attention, and give? Are you energized by taking a strategy and bringing it to life through compelling design across print and digital?

Do you know the difference between a lift note and a bounce-back? A Johnson box and an indicia? Static and carousel? Can you spot a widow or an orphan in a design?

Do you love getting into the weeds of a client's history—reviewing past campaigns, creative, results, and brand guidelines to understand what’s worked and find opportunities to make the next piece even stronger? Do you enjoy solving creative problems, thinking critically about design, and sharing your point of view?

Do you want to become a go-to creative partner for a roster of fundraising clients, while working alongside a talented, collaborative, and supportive team?

If you're a designer who moves fast, sweats the details, loves solving problems, and gets excited about creating work that looks great and drives results, this job might be for you.
