A lack of funding is a major challenge for organizations in Africa. BPDC is seeking a skilled volunteer as a virtual Fundraising Manager. This volunteer will report directly to the Founder/Executive Director, but with access to working with other managers and board members to achieve the fundraising goals of the organization. This role requires fundraising experience or extensive experience in dealing with donors directly. You will be responsible for managing and improving our aspects of fundraising as well as writing grants to help us raise the needed funds to meet our project priorities.

This is an important project for our nonprofit because in 2021 we are strategizing to support more children from poor families. A fundraising strategy with a Fundraising Manager volunteer solely helping with this will be a success.
