• Major Gifts & Donor Engagement: Build and manage a portfolio of donors and prospects, cultivating meaningful relationships that increase donor engagement and giving levels. Execute donor outreach, follow-up, and stewardship activities while partnering with the CEO and Board to support major gift cultivation and solicitations.
• Corporate & Foundation Partnerships: Develop and maintain strong relationships with corporate sponsors and foundation partners while identifying new partnership opportunities. Secure sponsorships, including event sponsorships, and ensure timely communication, reporting, and stewardship to foster long-term partnerships.
• Annual Giving & Fundraising Campaigns: Execute annual fundraising initiatives, including year-end campaigns, Giving Tuesday, and the Arizona Tax Credit campaign. Support donor retention through consistent communication and compelling storytelling while helping increase donor participation, engagement, and overall philanthropic support.

Why You'll Love This Opportunity

This is more than a fundraising role - it's an opportunity to help shape the future of an organization transforming the lives of single-parent families facing cancer.

Working directly with the CEO and Board, you'll help build meaningful donor relationships, expand philanthropic support, and strengthen the foundation for The Singletons' continued growth.

In your first year, you'll establish a strong donor portfolio, secure new corporate partnerships, strengthen fundraising systems, and play a key role in helping the organization achieve its ambitious growth goals.

Every relationship you build and every dollar you raise helps ensure another family facing cancer receives hope, support, and the reminder that they are never alone.
