Job description

iDE is a global development organization that co-creates with foundations, governments, individuals, for-profits, and nonprofits to develop lasting solutions to poverty. We design and deliver market-based solutions in agriculture and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in 12 countries across Asia, Africa, and Central America. Much more than a collection of technologies and field offices, we are a globally integrated ecosystem of over 700 staff, passionate about innovation and entrepreneurism. The bottom line is improving the lives of our clients: the rural farmers and small businesses that are among the world’s poorest. The impact we report is rooted in reality and the data is readily available to anyone. This is our method of ensuring that the investments—in money and in time—made by our donors, the rural entrepreneurs we are working with, the customers they are serving, and our staff are having real impact. The Fund Development Department is responsible for securing funding for the organization from bilateral and multilateral institutions, high net worth individuals, corporate donors and foundations. The department also works closely with the Communications team on direct mail, email fundraising outreach, engagement events, and major end-of-year appeals. iDE is seeking a qualified, capable and hard-working individual to work with the headquarters office in Denver, Colorado. This individual will primarily support the Fund Development team with prospect development and research, data management and integration, and outreach for donor engagement opportunities, but some flexibility will be required to meet the needs of the organization as a whole. This is an exciting opportunity that involves learning more about qualifying prospects and fundraising, while getting to know the inner workings of a dynamic international development NGO!
