Virtual Fundraising Manager – Make Every Connection Count

Why This Role Feels Different

You know that feeling when you pull off a project and think, “Yep, that actually made a difference” That’s what happens here. As our Virtual Fundraising Manager, you’ll do more than just coordinate campaigns—you’ll help turn ideas into impact. It’s not about ticking boxes or just “meeting targets.” It’s about connecting with people, inspiring generosity, and watching those moments turn into real-world change. And yes, it’s remote. So whether you’re in your kitchen with coffee in hand or working from your favorite quiet spot, you can still lead big wins.

The Big Picture

Every great fundraising campaign starts with a spark—an idea, a story, a conversation. Your role is to keep that spark alive from start to finish. We’re talking everything from planning online events and writing heartfelt appeals to making sure every donor feels valued. Think of yourself as the link between vision and action. When a supporter says, “I want to help”, you’ll guide them on how their gift makes an impact. When the team brainstorms a campaign, you’ll make it happen—timelines, tools, and all.

How You’ll Spend Your Days

Let’s be real—no two days will look exactly the same. But here’s what a week might feel like:

Kick off Monday with a quick video huddle. Share wins from last week, set priorities, and trade tips on what’s working.
Midweek deep dives into campaign data—what’s gaining traction, where we can tweak things, and how to keep supporters engaged.
Collaborate with content creators on email blasts, social media posts, and short videos that actually connect with people.
Host virtual events that don’t feel like “just another Zoom call.” We want interaction, laughter, and those little moments that make people stay until the end.
End the week checking in with donors—thanking them, updating them, and showing the real results their gifts created.

Some days, it’s high-energy brainstorming. Other days, it’s quiet, focused work. Either way, you’ll always know how your time makes a difference.

What We Value in This Role

Clear Communication

You’re not just sending emails—you’re telling stories people remember. You can break down complex needs into a few sentences that make someone care.

Digital Savvy

From online fundraising platforms to social media scheduling tools—you’re comfortable jumping between systems. If you’ve ever made a Canva graphic while your Zoom tab was still open, you’ll fit right in.

People Skills

Even though this is remote, relationships matter. You’ll build trust with donors, partners, and teammates, making every interaction count.

Strategic Thinking

Fundraising isn’t guesswork. You’ll look at the data, spot trends, and use them to shape your next move.

Challenges You’ll Tackle

Let’s be honest—it’s not all smooth sailing. Fundraising has its tough spots.

Donors might go quiet. That’s when you’ll get creative, test new ideas, and keep the conversation going.
Deadlines can be tight. You’ll learn to prioritize fast and find solutions without losing quality.
Remote work can feel isolating. That’s why we have weekly check-ins, open Slack chats, and occasional virtual coffee breaks.

The upside? Every challenge teaches you something new. And the wins feel even better.

Skills That Help You Shine

We don’t believe in a cookie-cutter checklist, but here are a few things that make a strong fit:

Experience running online fundraising campaigns (bonus if you’ve managed one from start to finish)
Comfort with tools like Zoom, Google Workspace, and donor management platforms
A knack for storytelling—whether it’s in an email, a short video, or a quick donor call
Ability to manage multiple projects without feeling like you’re juggling chainsaws
A mix of creativity and data-driven thinking

What Success Looks Like Here

It’s not just about hitting fundraising goals—it’s about how you get there.

Supporters feel valued and heard.
Campaigns launch on time, with messages that resonate.
Data shows steady growth in engagement and giving.
The team feels supported, informed, and motivated.

How We Work Together

We’re remote, but we’re far from disconnected. Here’s how we keep our team vibe alive:

Weekly team calls to celebrate wins and tackle roadblocks together.
Open communication—you can ping anyone, anytime, without layers of approval.
Shared wins—when you pull off an outstanding campaign, we all cheer you on.
Room to grow—if you see a better way to do something, speak up. We love fresh ideas.

A Day in the Life

Imagine this: It’s Tuesday morning. You’re reviewing last night’s campaign stats—donations spiked after that heartfelt story went live. You send a quick thank-you video to a top supporter. Midday, you jump into a brainstorming call for our next virtual gala. By the afternoon, you’re drafting email copy that makes people stop scrolling. You wrap up feeling accomplished—and yes, still in your comfiest hoodie.
