Fundraising and Donor Relations Associate

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Philippines.

📋 Description

• Conduct research and profile key donors, foundations, and conference attendees prior to CEO engagements to ensure optimal meeting effectiveness.

• Take ownership of follow-up communications. Craft outreach emails, thank-you notes, and cultivation messages in the CEO's voice, ensuring the appropriate tone, timing, and next steps.

• Guide donors through the cultivation process — from initial outreach to scheduled meetings and secured commitments.

• Identify and monitor grant opportunities that align with Parity’s mission, managing submission timelines from start to finish.

• Compose persuasive grant proposals, letters of inquiry, donor reports, and major gift case statements.

• Prepare the CEO for speaking engagements and conferences by developing briefing materials that highlight funding opportunities.

• Maintain and refresh the donor CRM, ensuring that the pipeline remains up-to-date and actionable.

• Actively identify new funding strategies and prospect ideas — taking initiative rather than waiting for direction.

⛳️ Requirements

• Experience in business development, nonprofit development, major gifts, or a donor-facing fundraising capacity — we value your accomplishments more than your job title.

• Proven success in writing grant proposals or major donor communications that have led to funding.

• Understanding of donor cultivation strategies and the major gifts cycle.

• Ability to operate as an extension of a CEO or senior leader — writing in their voice, representing their brand, and managing follow-through.

• Experience in a startup, early-stage organization, or resource-limited environment is a significant advantage.

• Familiarity with CRM systems (any platform) is beneficial but not mandatory.

🏝️ Benefits

• Fully remote, global position.

• Monthly compensation ranging from $1,500 to $1,800, based on experience.

• Generous paid time off (PTO).
