You will join a growing Development team and be our first staff member dedicated to personally cultivating relationships with new and current donors to solicit the gifts that make our work possible.
You will use a donor-centric and moves-management approach to set a major gifts strategy and meet annual and long-term fundraising goals. This means that you will focus on perceiving our donors' needs, interests, and motivations and strategically guide them through various stages of engagement and solicitation. The ultimate goal is to increase funding by carefully nurturing connections and aligning donor interests with the goals of Wild Animal Initiative (WAI).
You will develop and implement strategies that foster strong donor relations and ensure that our supporters feel valued, engaged, and connected to what we're doing. You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other Wild Animal Initiative departments, using your communication skills to cultivate partnerships and drive support.
You should consider applying for this role if you are a proven, clear, and compelling communicator with a passion for our mission of understanding and improving the lives of wild animals, and a demonstrated ability to pursue and nurture relationships with donors.
Supervisory responsibilities:
None currently, but as the Development team grows, there may be opportunities to manage staff in the future.
Core responsibilities:
Donor discovery and research
Prospect research: Gather data on potential donors and various donor communities. Identify their interests, financial capacity, access, and giving history, and identify how best to ask for support from these prospects.
Data management and engagement coordination: Efficiently manage donor data, including contact information, donor meeting notes, and relevant details. Assign follow-up steps and ownership to yourself or other staff as necessary.
Strategic engagement: Proactively seek out and maintain up-to-date knowledge of Wild Animal Welfare (WAW) developments by engaging with key contacts (donors, researchers, influencers) to gather insights, understand trends, and identify emerging players in the field to inform decision-making, foster collaboration, and contribute to WAI's strategic objectives.
Relationship cultivation
Donor relationship building: Cultivate meaningful connections with potential donors, fostering trust and engagement in alignment with organizational values. Engage with and build relationships with donors within a remote framework and travel to meet with donors in person as necessary.
Strategic donor engagement: Own the development and implementation of major donor and planned giving engagement strategies. Proactively manage and grow a robust portfolio of prospective and existing major donors to solidify relationships and maximize giving potential.
Coordination and delegation: Work with the Executive Director, Development Director, and others to coordinate engagement efforts to ensure a seamless and personalized donor experience. Efficiently schedule, prepare for, and facilitate donor meetings.
Coaching: Provide necessary coaching to colleagues, enhancing confidence for successful donor interactions, strengthening relationships, and advancing WAI’s fundraising goals.
Gift acquisition and acknowledgment
Strategic fundraising solicitation: Execute targeted fundraising solicitations through persuasive conversations and the ability to contextualize WAI’s programmatic achievements and organizational goals, focusing on securing gifts of $5,000 and above to drive organizational growth and impact.
Donor alignment : Develop pitch decks and cases for support that resonate with various donors and donor communities, enhancing donor engagement and satisfaction.
Major gift fundraising: Secure five- and six-figure gifts from existing and new donors. Independently develop strategies that drive increased contributions and long-term support for organizational initiatives.
Prospect engagement strategy: Develop self-directed and tailored approaches to engaging high-impact donors, utilizing major gifts, planned giving, and event-based methods as appropriate.
Gratitude and acknowledgment management: Express gratitude to donors through thoughtful and personalized communications, ensuring donors feel valued and appreciated for their gifts. Manage appropriate delegation of this task to designated staff, such as the Development Director, the Executive Director, or Board members.
Other duties: As a young nonprofit, our organization's needs are still evolving, necessitating flexibility and openness to new duties as they may be assigned on short notice. We're seeking someone adaptable and responsive to changing requirements.
Qualifications
Note that we do not require any specific academic credentials or prior work experience for you to be considered for this position, as research shows that such requirements can diminish the quality of candidate pools by deterring individuals from applying who would otherwise be a great fit for a role. If you’re not sure whether you have the right qualifications, we encourage you to apply anyway. We’d love the chance to consider your application.
This role will require you to have the following qualifications:
Interpersonal awareness: Demonstrate empathy, concern for others, cooperation, and positive relationship-building. Show sensitivity to cultural differences, curiosity, and respect for others' perspectives and feelings.
Integrity: Maintain unwavering integrity in all professional activities. Uphold honesty and ethical principles, ensuring transparency and trust in donor relationships.
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI): Motivated to understand and counteract the ways that personal biases, cultural differences, and systemic inequities can hinder our decision-making, work culture, and programmatic effectiveness. A basic awareness of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion concepts, including their relevance to the workplace.
Independence: Capable of thriving in a remote work environment within a supportive team: adept at independent work, dependable in meeting commitments, and proactive in taking initiative without constant supervision. Able to autonomously manage donor relationships, drive fundraising initiatives, and implement strategic engagement tactics to achieve major gifts and organizational objectives.
Software: Ability to utilize various software and technology tools such as CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce), project management platforms (e.g., Asana), and productivity tools (e.g., Google Workspace) to streamline fundraising processes and increase efficiency.
Communication skills: Clearly and respectfully express oneself in both written and verbal communication; demonstrate active listening. Tailor communication to meet the needs of diverse audiences and utilize strong networking abilities to engage high-net-worth individuals and key stakeholders effectively.
Writing: Ability to write effectively for various formats, such as emails, proposals, fact sheets, presentations, etc. You will collaborate with our Communications department on evergreen pieces like cases for support and template pitch decks, but you will need to have the ability to write at a high volume, producing clear and compelling correspondence that effectively communicates our mission and work to donors and other stakeholders.
Donor alignment: Demonstrated ability to conduct thorough research and analysis to gain insights into donor interests, ensure alignment with organizational priorities, and foster strategic engagement. Demonstrated success in making persuasive presentations and negotiations to garner support or alignment.
Critical thinking: Ability to use logic and reasoning to evaluate alternative solutions, conclusions, or approaches. Strategically assess donor engagement opportunities and navigate complex fundraising solicitation processes.
Persuasion skills: Demonstrated ability to passionately advocate for our mission verbally and in writing in order to effectively tailor our message to diverse audiences, anticipate objections, and inspire donors through compelling storytelling and data-driven evidence.
Resourcefulness: Proven creative problem-solving, adaptability, and persistence, even in challenging situations. Quickly grasp our organization's mission, values, and guiding philosophies to communicate confidently. Understand donor motivations and identify connections with diverse communities.
This role might also benefit from you having some of the following qualifications. You could still be a highly competitive candidate even if you don’t have any of these qualifications.
CRM familiarity: Preferred candidates will have a basic grasp of CRM software, particularly Salesforce. While prior experience in using Salesforce to track interactions is not required, adaptability and a willingness to learn our specific CRM processes are valued attributes. We recognize that CRM systems can vary in their implementation, and candidates' familiarity with CRM software can be supplemented through training.
Environmental, wildlife, and conservation advocacy community engagement: Preferred candidates will exhibit an appreciation of community motivations, norms, and culture within these spheres. They should demonstrate a nuanced approach to animal welfare fundraising, acknowledging donors' emotional connections to animals. This involves understanding various animal welfare causes and promoting compassion toward animals. Candidates skilled in navigating these complexities and building connections with diverse philanthropic communities are highly valued.
Familiarity with effective altruism: Most of our current major donors are influenced by effective altruism. Although membership in the effective altruism community is not required, we want to recognize that perceiving and meeting the needs of those donors will be aided by familiarity with the movement’s core concepts (e.g., cause prioritization, counterfactual impact), common norms (e.g., calibrated confidence estimates, openness about failures), and related cause areas (farmed animal advocacy and longtermism). Candidates willing to learn and adapt are encouraged to apply.
Adaptability in fundraising techniques: Candidates with cause-based, academic, or research fundraising experience may find their skills more readily applicable. Traditional engagement methods like site tours won’t be standard in our remote, research-focused model, so we encourage applicants to consider how their skills can translate creatively. Effective communication of our research impact to donors is key in our organization.

General Description:
LCV Education Fund (LCVEF), in partnership with its sister organization, LCV, is one of the only major environmental groups and the biggest issue-area organization that has made significant strides and investments in democracy. The communities most affected by climate change, pollution, and environmental injustice are the same communities that our country has systematically excluded from the democratic process and who continue to face targeted efforts to limit civic participation. Beyond the threats to climate action that attacks on our democracy pose, voting rights rollbacks are fundamentally unjust and have consequences that reach far beyond the environment. A concerted effort to protect both is critical. To meet this challenge and support the ongoing growth of our democracy programs, LCVEF is seeking an exceptional writer and fundraiser to join our team.
Building on our highly regarded national nonpartisan civic engagement program that has registered and turned out millions of underrepresented voters since 2012, we are actively growing a coordinated state democracy program across our 30+ state affiliates, collectively known as the Conservation Voters Movement (CVM). In 2023 alone, this emerging program supported 140 state policy victories for voting rights and democracy and is now poised to expand with new support from funding identified through the work of this position.
The newly created role of Director of Institutional Writing and Strategy - Democracy will significantly increase funding for our democracy work at the state, regional, and federal levels and support the launch of a new Unified Fundraising pilot program. The goal of the Unified program is to combine fundraising between LCVEF and participating state affiliates, resulting in more money from more donors to power the Conservation Voters Movement.

Ensure that proposals elevate our work with historically disenfranchised groups who have been pushed or left out of the democratic process, particularly communities of color, including sharing our successes and impact as well as recognizing areas for improvement and growth.
Oversee the proposal development and submission process to ensure all proposals and applications are complete and submitted on time. Coordinate with the Institutional Giving, program, finance, and legal teams to gather necessary content and materials.
Maintain records in Salesforce and other systems for all democracy funders to ensure we have a complete record of communications and relationship history.

Lead on scheduling, developing agendas, and preparing for meetings with funders.
Create and maintain profiles on funders in Salesforce and in our research files to ensure they are current and accurately reflect funder priorities and alignment with LCVEF and LCV programs.
Fundraising Strategy
Ensure we have a clear and effective strategy to build an institutional funder prospect pipeline and cultivate strong funder relationships over time, in partnership with the State Capacity Building and Community and Civic Engagement program teams, and state affiliate staff.
Directly manage a portfolio of existing democracy funders and prospects to ensure they are cultivated, stewarded, and solicited in ways that maximize our long-term relationships and support.
Ensure the Executive Team and relevant national and state affiliate staff are fully prepared and supported for meetings and follow-up with funders.
Ensure that funder strategies are coordinated with other members of the Institutional Giving team, especially for current funders of other programs that may also be interested in funding democracy work.
Regularly evaluate progress toward our institutional fundraising goals for democracy programs at LCVEF and LCV, flagging any places where we are off track, and identifying and implementing strong strategies to adjust the work to reach our goals.
Travel up to 5% of the time for staff retreats, conferences, and professional development opportunities, as needed.

General Description:
LCV Education Fund (LCVEF), in partnership with its sister organization, LCV, is one of the only major environmental groups and the biggest issue-area organization that has made significant strides and investments in democracy. The communities most affected by climate change, pollution, and environmental injustice are the same communities that our country has systematically excluded from the democratic process and who continue to face targeted efforts to limit civic participation. Beyond the threats to climate action that attacks on our democracy pose, voting rights rollbacks are fundamentally unjust and have consequences that reach far beyond the environment. A concerted effort to protect both is critical. To meet this challenge and support the ongoing growth of our democracy programs, LCVEF is seeking an exceptional writer and fundraiser to join our team.
Building on our highly regarded national nonpartisan civic engagement program that has registered and turned out millions of underrepresented voters since 2012, we are actively growing a coordinated state democracy program across our 30+ state affiliates, collectively known as the Conservation Voters Movement (CVM). In 2023 alone, this emerging program supported 140 state policy victories for voting rights and democracy and is now poised to expand with new support from funding identified through the work of this position.
The newly created role of Director of Institutional Writing and Strategy - Democracy will significantly increase funding for our democracy work at the state, regional, and federal levels and support the launch of a new Unified Fundraising pilot program. The goal of the Unified program is to combine fundraising between LCVEF and participating state affiliates, resulting in more money from more donors to power the Conservation Voters Movement.
