  • Qualify donors who might be a good fit for our Development team, through conversations and research, so they can follow up and further determine their giving potential.

Donor Impact Story and Lead Generation:

  • As you engage with donors, listen and learn about the impact the ministry is having on families, in general, and on them, specifically.
  • Learn the details of someone’s story – both in hard facts and their emotional and spiritual response, documenting each story so these leads can be passed on to our editorial team.
  • Present concepts and stories to the Donor Relations and Integrated Marketing teams as ideas for future projects.
  • Work with the Director of Donor Relations to turn these stories or quotes into our monthly thank you letters, drafting these letters for review by our editorial team.

  • Warm and pleasant on the phone, able to express sincere gratitude and recognize the sacrifice and generosity of each donor
  • Ability to follow a script while being insightful to know when and how to be flexible in a phone conversation based on the donor’s situation
  • Good listener, being able to “hear” what someone is really saying with the ability to ask good questions and know when to press further or back off
  • Strong written and verbal skills in English
  • Good penmanship, able to write clearly and legibly

If you’re looking for a place where you can experience a strong sense of belonging and make a positive difference to our well-established, mission-driven charity, this may be the opportunity for you.
