1 week ago
Job Description As we enter a phase of strategic growth, we're looking for a high-energy team member who can bring together strong relationship-building skills with smart, AI-enabled execution. If you're excited about using AI tools to unlock time and scale while still doing deeply human, values-driven work this role is for you. The Role At a Glance This role sits at the intersection of two critical pieces of our fundraising strategy: - Building U&I's readiness and capacity for philanthropic grants, and - Engaging with High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) and ecosystem champions. You'll use emerging AI tools to increase productivity, personalize outreach, and stay on top of both grant pipelines and relationship-building workflows. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders across programs, communications, and leadership, and be supported by an internal AI mentor to help build AI-supported systems and workflows. What You'll Do Grants: Research, Readiness & Management - Research and maintain a pipeline of grant opportunities from philanthropic foundations and individual donors. - Write compelling proposals, reports, and decks tailored to each funder's interests and giving philosophy. - Work with the communications and programs team to gather impact data, quotes, photos, and other assets. - Redesign and maintain U&I's grant-facing documents and website to reflect our mission, impact, and credibility. - Use AI tools to accelerate grant discovery, proposal writing, and reporting while ensuring a human touch in all communication. - Track deadlines, application stages, and follow-ups through an organized grant management system. HNI Engagement - Identify and connect with HNIs, business leaders, and ecosystem champions in education, philanthropy, and social change. - Draft personalized communication for outreach, follow-ups, and meeting preparation. - Build a growing network of U&I supporters, mentors, and advocates through thoughtful and sustained engagement. - Leverage AI-based Sales Development Representative (AISDR) tools (e.g., Salesrobot, CharityGPT, Claude) to scale smart outreach without losing depth. - Support event curation, closed-door conversations, and 1:1 meetings that help deepen donor relationships over time. Who You Are - You have 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, partnerships, donor relations, or business development. - You're a great communicator written and spoken and know how to adapt tone based on audience. - You love connecting with people and are confident approaching senior leaders, philanthropists, and ecosystem stakeholders. - You're organized, proactive, and follow through on conversations and commitments. - You're curious about AI and excited to integrate tools that make your work more strategic and scalable. - You believe in the power of education, and are drawn to U&I's mission of community-powered change.
