Title: Account Manager - Middle Donor

Reports to: Manager Middle Donor Program
About Children International

Children International is a nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty around the world. At CI, we believe that every child matters and that it is simply unacceptable that over a billion children live in poverty. The CI approach is to invest in our kids and youth by providing a safe place, a caring team and a path out of poverty through programs in health, education, empowerment and employment. We provide this support for 250,000 children in 13 agencies working across 10 countries around the world.

The work Children International does on behalf of children in poverty is funded primarily through a one-to-one sponsorship model. We are transforming our funding model to dramatically increase the support we provide our kids. Additionally, we are taking our programs from good to great by elevating our people systems and practices worldwide. That’s where you come in.

Position summary

The Global Philanthropy team at CI is in the process of building a robust Middle Level Donor Engagement team. The primary responsibility of the Account Manager will be to initiate, develop and cultivate relationships with a group of 600-800 mid-level donors and sustain the relationship by taking them through a journey of discovery and engagement with the mission of CI. Please note - the ability to confidently engage with donors via phone and email correspondence is critical as middle donor account managers will not meet face to face.

This Kansas City-based position will report to the Manager - Middle Donor Program and together the team will focus on offering excellent donor experience, increasing the life-time value and year-over-year retention of donors, and generating leads for major donor prospects.

The ultimate goal is to raise resources and maximize the yield to the mission of CI to help ensure every child in our program is healthy, educated, empowered and employed.

  • Manage the end-to-end relationship - identify and track appropriate engagement strategies (moves management) based on the nature and level of giving - cultivating donors toward their full giving potential.
