An Institutional Giving Manager is responsible for developing and managing relationships with foundations, corporations, and government agencies to secure funding for a nonprofit organization.

To thrive as an Institutional Giving Manager, you need strong grant writing, research, and fundraising strategy skills, typically supported by a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with fundraising databases like Raiser’s Edge or Salesforce, as well as experience with prospect research tools, is common.
