    Default job background
    Description
    Donor Development Manager (Volunteer) - REMOTE

    *Note: The following is an opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment.* This is a remote-from-home position

    WhoWhatWhy is seeking an experienced, dynamic leader for our fundraising development team. Qualified candidates will have a proven track record of raising substantial funds for a nonprofit in a competitive space, with a primary focus on high net worth individuals.

    WhoWhatWhy offers an opportunity to do exciting, meaningful work in concert with other smart and talented professionals committed to producing, publicizing, and funding great content in the public interest.

    Check out You'll quickly see that we're a credible solution to the raging debate over whether the news is fake or not, with agenda-free research and bracingly fresh analysis. Not left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking. We just want the truth - whatever it is.

    And because we're straight to the point, we make clear that we're a nonprofit that wasn't funded by a zillionaire and that we decline to accept corporate ads. Our revenue is entirely based on public support, and our budget is modest, so we currently rely primarily on motivated, skilled individuals who work as volunteers. However, anyone who can help us significantly improve our fundraising can expect to move toward compensation over time.

    If you are ready to plunge into an exciting disruption of the news space - and can commit to 15-20 hours a week or more for at least 6 months, working remotely on your own schedule - we'd love to hear from you.
