We're a fast-growing fundraising firm specializing in both digital and offline fundraising, and we're seeking a self-starter who is ready to do the hard work to help us smash goals for one of our marquee clients, an organization working to unseat Mitch McConnell. Applicants who can start by Tuesday, August 18 will be interviewed first.
If you have a strong desire to learn about fundraising from the best in the business, this could be the ideal position for you. You'll work closely with our Fundraiser, Director of People, and CEO (a former fundraiser for Kirsten Gillibrand, Lois Frankel, the Clinton Foundation, and Gavin Newsom) to raise millions of dollars through Election Day from major Democratic donors who can give $25,000+.
You'll learn how to prospect political donors, cultivate strong relationships with them, write motivating fundraising content, and set and smash BIG fundraising goals. This is a great opportunity for someone hoping to work on a competitive campaign or join a political consulting firm in 2021 (future Finance Directors highly encouraged to apply)!
Core responsibilities:
- Write a high volume of handwritten notes to major donors and donor prospects
- Prospect and research political donors by finding contact information, mailing addresses, giving history, demographic information, and more
- Report progress to goals daily to our Fundraiser
- Cold call donors and assistants to set up pitches
Must haves:
- A keen attention to detail
- The ability to hit goals and meet deadlines while juggling numerous priorities
- A strong desire to become an expert fundraiser
- A passion for unseating the worst members of the Republican Party, especially Mitch McConnell
Application process:
If you're ready to dive right in and help us raise millions for our client, please send an email with a one-page resume, 100 words or less on why you want to help unseat Mitch McConnell, and 100 words or less on how your experience and/or personality makes you a great candidate for the Fundraising Fellowship to jobs@basecampstrategy.com.
Please use the subject line "[Firstname Lastname] - Basecamp Strategy Fundraising Fellowship." Please indicate where you saw this position and when you are available to start in the body of your email.
Details:
Fellows receive a $1,000/month stipend. COVID-19 safety guidelines will be strictly upheld. However, applicants must live within commuting distance to our DC office in order to deliver handwritten notes to staff. All other work will be conducted remotely. We're looking for candidates who can start right away.
About Basecamp Strategy:
At Basecamp Strategy, our vision for a better world drives everything we do: we believe that people with good ideas CAN change the world when empowered with the right tools and expertise.
We win tough races and help organizations change the world by raising our clients as much money as possible both on- and offline. But we're a different kind of fundraising firm. We motivate with honesty and authenticity. We're digital storytellers. And not only do candidates, donors, and voters prefer our style, but we've also seen time and again that this kind of content drives the strongest fundraising results.
The best strategies for engaging donors have yet to be invented -- and we're here to innovate and do just that. And we can only do exceptional work if we have the best team in the business. We're a team of specialists that's here to challenge assumptions and figure out what performs the best today, not what worked in 2012, 2014, 2016, or November 2018.
We know that when more voices are at the table, bigger, better, and bolder things happen. In both hiring employees and recruiting clients, we approach every decision with a commitment to diversity. Basecamp Strategy recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, and other protected status as required by applicable law.
Our approach has garnered us notice, and our team is growing and evolving quickly. No one is doing the same job they were doing six months ago or even three months or a month ago. You'll be asked to learn quickly, and the moment you've nailed it, we hope you'll be ready to learn something new.
If you love a fast-paced environment, doing tremendously good work efficiently, thinking outside the box, and figuring out how to go from great to incredibly great, then you'll love it here.
