Virtual Fundraising Manager â Make Every Connection Count
Why This Role Feels Different
You know that feeling when you pull off a project and think,
âYep, that actually made a differenceâ Thatâs what happens here. As our
Virtual Fundraising Manager, youâll do more than just coordinate campaignsâyouâll help turn ideas into impact.
Itâs not about ticking boxes or just âmeeting targets.â Itâs about connecting with people, inspiring generosity, and watching those moments turn into real-world change. And yes, itâs remote. So whether youâre 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 sparkâan idea, a story, a conversation. Your role is to keep that spark alive from start to finish. Weâre 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,
âI want to helpâ, youâll guide them on how their gift makes an impact. When the team brainstorms a campaign, youâll make it happenâtimelines, tools, and all.
How Youâll Spend Your Days
Letâs be realâno two days will look exactly the same. But hereâs 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 whatâs working.
- Midweek deep dives into campaign dataâwhatâs 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 donât feel like âjust another Zoom call.â We want interaction, laughter, and those little moments that make people stay until the end.
- End the week checking in with donorsâthanking them, updating them, and showing the real results their gifts created.
Some days, itâs high-energy brainstorming. Other days, itâs quiet, focused work. Either way, youâll always know how your time makes a difference.
What We Value in This Role
Clear Communication
Youâre not just sending emailsâyouâre 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 toolsâyouâre comfortable jumping between systems. If youâve ever made a Canva graphic while your Zoom tab was still open, youâll fit right in.
People Skills
Even though this is remote, relationships matter. Youâll build trust with donors, partners, and teammates, making every interaction count.
Strategic Thinking
Fundraising isnât guesswork. Youâll look at the data, spot trends, and use them to shape your next move.
Challenges Youâll Tackle
Letâs be honestâitâs not all smooth sailing. Fundraising has its tough spots.
- Donors might go quiet. Thatâs when youâll get creative, test new ideas, and keep the conversation going.
- Deadlines can be tight. Youâll learn to prioritize fast and find solutions without losing quality.
- Remote work can feel isolating. Thatâs 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 donât believe in a cookie-cutter checklist, but here are a few things that make a strong fit:
- Experience running online fundraising campaigns (bonus if youâve managed one from start to finish)
- Comfort with tools like Zoom, Google Workspace, and donor management platforms
- A knack for storytellingâwhether itâs in an email, a short video, or a quick donor call
- Ability to manage multiple projects without feeling like youâre juggling chainsaws
- A mix of creativity and data-driven thinking

- Supporters feel valued and heard.
- Campaigns launch on time, with messages that resonate.

Midday, you jump into a brainstorming call for our next virtual gala. By the afternoon, youâre drafting email copy that makes people stop scrolling. You wrap up feeling accomplishedâand yes, still in your comfiest hoodie.
