Position Description
We are seeking an experienced, detail-oriented Digital Fundraising Associate to lead the execution of our digital fundraising email campaigns during a six to eight week engagement.
The Associate will take primary ownership of fundraising emails for two key initiatives: a 10-day membership drive and a two-week year-end grassroots fundraising campaign. This includes drafting compelling email content, programming emails in our email marketing platform, testing, scheduling, and sending communications to our existing lists.
Working closely with the team, the Associate will develop persuasive fundraising messages that engage supporters, drive membership and donations, and communicate the impact of our work. The Associate will also support the drafting of our year-end impact report.
This is a hands-on role for a strong fundraising writer and digital campaign executor who can work independently, manage tight timelines, and deliver high-quality communications in a fast-paced environment.

- Help translate organizational accomplishments, program outcomes, and key milestones into clear, engaging, and accessible content.
- Work with team members to gather relevant information, stories, and data that demonstrate the impact of the organization's work.
- Help ensure the report communicates organizational achievements in a way that supports donor stewardship and future fundraising efforts.
Qualifications and Experience
- Demonstrated experience in digital fundraising, nonprofit communications, political fundraising, advocacy, or a related field.
- Excellent writing and editing skills, with experience producing persuasive fundraising appeals and donor communications.
- Experience programming, testing, scheduling, and sending emails through an email marketing or fundraising platform.
- Understanding of grassroots fundraising, membership drives, donor engagement, and email campaign best practices.
- Strong attention to detail
- Excellent organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a short-term engagement.
- Ability to work independently, respond quickly to feedback, and collaborate effectively with a small team.
Deliverables
By the end of the engagement, the associate will have:
- Developed and executed the email campaign for the 10-day membership drive, including content development, programming, testing, scheduling, and sending.
- Developed and executed the email campaign for the two-week year-end grassroots fundraising drive, including content development, programming, testing, scheduling, and sending.
