Manager of Individual Giving

JOB DESCRIPTION

Disability Justice is a nonprofit civil rights organization. Over the last 50 years, we’ve led the fight for dignity and inclusion — recognizing, as Dr. King did, that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Our team of advocates, attorneys, and investigators forms Colorado’s Protection and Advocacy system. Our goal: to make Colorado the best place in America for people with disabilities to live, work, and thrive.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and highly organized Manager of Individual Giving to shape and grow an individual giving program. This is a newly created position with the opportunity to design systems, build infrastructure, and drive long-term success. During the first year, the role will focus on donor stewardship, annual giving, prospect recruitment, and customer relationship management (CRM).

Among other responsibilities, the Manager of Individual Giving will:

• Manage and optimize our CRM system by maintaining donor records, ensuring data integrity, and improving segmentation, reporting, and fundraising workflows
• Conduct prospect research
• Cultivate relationships with individual donors
• Collaborate with colleagues to develop donor-centered message and campaign content
• Develop and implement processes to acknowledge, engage, and steward donors
• Execute giving campaigns through email, direct mail, online, social media, and SMS fundraising
• Track, analyze, and report fundraising performance metrics
• Recommend and implement improvements to individual giving strategies
• Work with the grants team to track grant prospects, deadlines, budgets, and reporting requirements within the CRM system
• Establish and maintain the organization's profiles on Candid, Charity Navigator, Colorado Gives, and similar platforms
• Perform other duties as assigned

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• At least five years of experience in nonprofit fundraising, development operations, communications, or a comparable field
• Demonstrated commitment to providing excellent customer service to donors and partners
• Experience managing email fundraising platforms and online giving campaigns
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage data accurately
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with CRM systems
• Ability to organize projects, follow established processes, and meet deadlines under time constraints
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across teams
• Comfort with routine, systems-based work and process improvement
• Passion for and dedication to the mission of Disability Justice
