You’ll work closely with leadership on donor strategy and engagement, helping to shape a more personalized and impactful giving experience. This role offers a Monday–Thursday schedule (10-hour days) with Fridays off (or as needed) and requires just one day per week in the office — the rest can be remote. This is an excellent opportunity to make a huge impact at an organization committed to providing consistent aid and services to the underserved for over 30 years.

4. Solicit major gifts directly
5. Support leadership with strategy, briefings, and donor communications
6. Serve as a trusted advisor to major gift prospects
7. Create a strong donor experience through personalized outreach, proposals, and timely acknowledgements
8. Mentor and oversee Major Gift Specialist(s) as needed
9. Set and manage budget goals that align with organizational fundraising targets
10. Maintain accurate donor records
11. Track activity and metrics in the donor management system
12. Travel to visit donors throughout the region/country as needed

Qualifications

1. 5+ years experience in non-profit development required
2. 3+ years of major gifts experience required
3. CRM Donor Database Management Software experience required
4. Ability to work in the office 1 day each week required
