• Analyze fundraising data and metrics to monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed.
• Ensure compliance with ethical fundraising standards and donor confidentiality.

Ideal Candidate Profile

Essential Qualifications

• Proven success in nonprofit fundraising with demonstrated ability to meet or exceed revenue goals.
• Experience in cultivating and managing donor relationships at all levels, especially major gifts.
