Successful candidates will have:
- At least 5 years of experience working in development and fundraising for mission-driven organizations.
- Passion for and proven alignment with our organization’s mission and values.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
- Ability to identify highest-value strategies given finite organizational capacity.
- The ability to handle sensitive information with discretion.
- Flexibility and adaptability to manage a range of tasks and to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Familiarity with non-profit fundraising regulations and the difference between raising money for a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and PAC or joint fundraising committees.
- Experience raising money from high net worth individuals is a significant plus.
- Background in abundance policy or advocacy is a plus.
What We Offer:
