This role partners closely with the Executive Director (ED) to design and deliver donor engagement aligned to the ED’s vision and regional fundraising priorities. The MDE leads execution across events, communications, and programmatic opportunities, ensuring donors have meaningful, consistent ways to connect with Bottom Line’s mission and impact locally.
