Regional Engagement & Events

  • Represent FDD at donor programs, briefings, and small events throughout Chicago and the broader Midwest.
  • Help identify opportunities to convene donors and prospects for meaningful engagement.
  • Partner with internal teams to support the execution of donor-facing events tied to portfolio strategy.

Collaboration & Team Integration

  • Work closely with development leadership on portfolio strategy and growth opportunities.
  • Collaborate across donor relations, events, policy, and operations teams to ensure strong coordination.
  • Support internal processes related to donor tracking, proposals, and stewardship.
  • Contribute to team-wide best practices and development efforts.

Qualifications

  • 5–8 years of professional fundraising or relevant relationship-management experience.
  • Experience supporting or securing five- and six-figure gifts.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage relationships and advance donor engagement.
  • Interest in foreign policy, national security, and geopolitical issues, with a willingness to develop deeper expertise.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and operate in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
  • Self-starter with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
