Toronto, Ontario, Canada Prosper Canada Full time $82,000 - $92,000
SENIOR MANAGER, DEVELOPMENT (Full-time position) WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1986, Prosper Canada is a national charity dedicated to expanding economic opportunity for Canadians living in poverty through program and policy innovation.

As Canada's leading champion of financial empowerment, we work with government, business, and community partners to develop and promote financial policies, programs and resources that transform lives and foster the prosperity of all Canadians.


Prosper Canada does not deliver services directly to people living on low incomes.

Instead, we work with public, private and community sector partners to ensure quality financial empowerment supports (including effective policy and regulation) are available to all people living on a low income across Canada.

In its 2024 Budget, the Government of Canada committed $60 million over 5 years to Prosper Canada to expand free community financial help services to reach 1 million people with low incomes and connect them to an estimated $2 billion in additional income.

We are seeking talented and dynamic individuals who share our passion for financial empowerment to join our team to help us realize this transformative opportunity.

We see power in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and believe we can help everyone thrive by being our boldest true selves.

Diversity is at the core of what we do and who we support to build financial health.

Our financial empowerment efforts focus on equity-seeking groups including those living on low incomes, Indigenous Peoples, members of racialized communities, and people living with disabilities.

Prosper Canada is seeking a Senior Manager, Development to help us diversify our revenue streams to drive fundraising growth.

This role requires a seasoned fundraiser with a successful track record in individual giving and corporate and foundation fundraising, as well as strong project management skills and strategic capacity to help us advance Prosper Canada's transformative vision.

We have been very successful at raising corporate, government and foundation dollars but are seeking someone to help us grow our individual giving program, as well as continue to strengthen our fundraising, donor stewardship and recognition processes.

The successful candidate will draw on their prior experience in high-performing fundraising environments to help us shape our strategies and lead our day-to-day development activities under the supervision of the Vice-President, Strategy and Development.


You will supervise and be accountable for 1-2 development and operations staff.

Employee benefits include health and dental coverage, employer RRSP contribution, Common Good retirement savings plan, paid personal and sick days, 20 paid vacation days, paid time off when we close the office from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day, and professional development opportunities.

Lead the refinement and implementation of our growth-focused, multi-year, fundraising plan.

  • Develop, implement and manage an individual giving program focus on both small and major gifts.
  • Provide oversight and leadership to a 1-2 person development team, ensuring clear roles, responsibilities, and expectations are established and maintained. Work across teams to manage accurate and timely execution of annual stewardship and recognition schedules.
  • Pipeline management: Manage the pipeline of qualified prospects and proposals and equip the team for effective engagement. Maintain the funder pipeline, tracking progress and ensuring timely follow-ups.
  • Research and evaluate corporate, foundation and government prospects. Implement efficient processes for ongoing prospect research and analysis.
  • Proposal development and grant writing support: Help manage and coordinate cross-functional teams to develop pitch materials and proposals. Provide ongoing support for proposal development and grant writing.

  • Reporting and monitoring: Provide timely reports on progress against agreed-on fundraising activities, goals and outcomes to the leadership team and help prepare quarterly reports for the Board of Directors.
  • Meeting management: Develop agendas, prepare and distribute supporting materials beforehand, and facilitate meetings of the development team, fundraising committee and the External Affairs Committee (EAC) of the Board.
  • Engage senior team and Board members to identify, cultivate, and engage funders and prospects.

Apply if you meet most of these requirements:

  • Want to help us form deep and lasting partnerships with funders to grow our track record of transformative impact.
Experience and knowledge related to issues of poverty, economic inclusion, and financial empowerment.

  • Your personal experience of living on a low income, being a newcomer, or living with a disability and the insights and perspectives this would bring to your work.
  • Your understanding of the concepts of institutional and structural racism and bias and their impact on underserved and under-represented communities.

Please tell us about yourself in your cover letter and highlight how your lived experiences help you understand the needs and challenges faced by equity-seeking groups.


We are committed to accommodation for all candidates and staff with temporary or permanent disabilities. East, Suite 700, Toronto ON and/or home office

Prosper Canada offers a hybrid work environment with staff largely working from home but having the option to work in the office when they prefer or as needed.
