Job description

Development Manager, Partnerships (E & I)

Democracy Fund is a foundation working to defend American democracy and challenge it to be more open and just. Created by eBay founder and philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, Democracy Fund has made more than $200 million in grants to support free and fair elections, a vibrant and diverse public square, effective and accountable government, and a just and inclusive society.

The Philanthropic Partnerships team works to bring new resources and leadership to the democracy field in the hopes of expanding its reach and potential. Using Democracy Fund’s expertise, rigor, and systems approach, the Philanthropic Partnerships team helps donors strategically invest in innovative, successful nonprofits working to strengthen our democracy.

About the Position

Democracy Fund champions leaders and organizations that defend democracy and challenge our political system to be more open, just, resilient, and trustworthy. We believe that experimentation, learning, and adaptation are key to the health and resilience of any system, whether it is our organization or the American political system.

The Development Manager will manage a fundraising and partnership development portfolio that supports our Elections and Governance programs. These two programs are central to the organization’s mission and critical to achieving an inclusive, multi-racial democracy that is open, just, resilient, and trustworthy.

Our Elections Program seeks to create more free and fair elections, including initiatives aimed at promoting voting rights, developing a modern system of election administration, and defending against attempts to sabotage and undermine our election system.

Our Governance Program seeks to create more representative and accountable governing institutions, including initiatives to prevent and hold government accountable for abuses of power and explore ways of developing a more representative political system by changing its rules and structures, as well as diversifying the composition of its leadership.

The successful candidate will be part of our Philanthropic Partnerships team, work to grow its infrastructure and influence, and serve as a trusted advisor who can seamlessly manage shifting priorities and stakeholders across our growing network. The role requires a demonstrated track record of cultivating donor relationships, developing fundraising strategies for complex program areas, and securing six-figure gifts.
