Why This Job Is Important
Powering every successful nonprofit is a dynamic vision, mission-motivated people, and fundraising strategies that engage generous communities. GiveMN provides sector-leading tools and services to advance the mission pursuit of Minnesota’s nonprofit organizations including through RaiseMN, where the Community Impact team coaches nonprofit clients on building lasting fundraising strategy and infrastructure.
We’re actively looking for a strategic colleague to help us execute this work and build relationships with nonprofit and school partners looking to grow their fundraising confidence, knowledge, and outcomes. As a GiveMN fundraising coach, you’ll work with peers and partners to help nonprofit and school leaders overcome barriers to achieving sustainable mission delivery and fundraising success.

• Developing and delivering learning activities for use in RaiseMN programming
• Partnering with Client Success and Business Development to identify and cultivate prospective, current, and former clients
• Sometimes you’ll be 100% focused on a single project, and at other times you’ll be coaching several external organizations at once

About You

• The GiveMN team is small but mighty, working collaboratively and energetically to advance multiple priorities simultaneously.
• You work well across multiple lines of difference, including race, gender, identity, disability, ideology, and religion
• You lead with “yes,” helping others see what they can achieve while supporting them with the encouragement and tools to accomplish their goals
• You’re a facilitator and coach, sharing knowledge with our partners while learning from their experiences and adapting your support to their unique needs while acknowledging the limits of your expertise and lived experience
• You’re a problem solver, having the ability to make the complex simple and help others understand your strategies
• You’re creative, energized by creating something new
• You’re strategic, knowing how to prioritize what should be done, and why it needs to be done
• You’re empathetic, listening first to understand ‘why’
• You’re resourceful, eager to innovate in environments with sometimes constrained resources
• You’re actively listening and learning, bringing innovative approaches to your work from across the philanthropic community

• Working across multiple lines of difference, including race, gender, identity, disability, ideology, and religion
• It would be a plus if you had experience with:
  • Time-limited, digital-first fundraising campaigns
  • Small- and medium-sized organizations
  • Organizations led by or serving BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA2S+ communities
  • Greater Minnesota communities

The best fit for GiveMN is someone who might describe themselves as:

• Passionate, hardworking, and self-motivated
• Easy going, always taking the mission more seriously than themselves
• Curious, satisfied only after they have explored numerous possibilities and perspectives
• Confident, yet humble, as comfortable inspiring others and leading a team as they are presenting to large audiences and influential leaders
• Flexible, comfortable navigating uncertainty and adapting to change
• Strategic, identifying and balancing short- and long-term risks and benefits
• Data savvy, able to interpret quantitative data to inform qualitative strategies
• Risk tolerant, open to trying new ideas, learning from mistakes, and continuously improving
