    MANAGER OF INDIVIDUAL GIVING

    OVERVIEW OF CURE EPILEPSY
    One in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy in their lifetime.

    For many of them, that means uncontrollable seizures, stigma and discrimination in their communities, and sharply increased risks of health complications and death.

    They need much more than efforts to manage their seizures – they need a cure.

    For more than 20 years, CURE Epilepsy (formerly known as Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy or CURE) has been on an unrelenting search for that cure.

    Founded in 1998 by Susan Axelrod and a small group of fellow parents, CURE Epilepsy was born out of their shared frustration over the current state of epilepsy treatment.

    While the focus at that time centered on treating seizures and symptoms, that approach offered little relief for the 30% of epilepsy patients who don't respond to treatment.

    Axelrod and her fellow founders knew it was time to change the conversation from treating to curing epilepsy – and they dared to believe a cure was possible.

    As the nonprofit leader in epilepsy research and the only organization solely dedicated to finding a cure for epilepsy, we've worked to shift the focus from merely managing symptoms to understanding the causes of this complex condition.

    With 3.4 million Americans and 65 million people worldwide living with epilepsy, CURE Epilepsy is committed to furthering patient-focused research that can ultimately deliver the answers they need.


    POSITION OVERVIEW

    The Manager of Individual Giving reports to the Director of Major Gifts and will be responsible for growing leadership annual giving ($1,000-$10,000) donors through appeals, personal contact, and other strategic activities.

    They will also provide support to CURE Epilepsy's Champions program, our third-party peer-to-peer fundraisers, as well as be part of a dedicated development team that is collaborative and goal driven.

    Develop the strategy and execution for Giving Tuesday and other online appeals through social channels in partnership with the Marketing and Communications Team.

    Provide specific stewardship and assistance for Memorial donors.

    Individual Donor Development - 35%
    Manage a portfolio of leadership annual donors and major gift prospects of about 50-75.
    Identify prospects and conduct major gift qualification calls and visits.
    Assist with Major gift pipeline activities (e.g., Virtual Salons, regional donor events, visits with leadership).
    Assist with launching Giving Society and upgrading donors to that level.
