The Tor Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies. Roughly a third of the organization's total revenue comes from individuals, and more than 6,000 people make gifts under $1,000 every year.
Unlike some nonprofits that focus solely on donors who give at high levels, the Tor Project has the unique opportunity to do something different — to amplify the collective power of our small-dollar donors. We're looking for someone to help us better connect and engage with this global base of supporters.
This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of an underdeveloped program and build it up from the ground.

This role reports to the Director of Fundraising and collaborates with the Fundraising Coordinator.
The Tor Project's approach to fundraising doesn't use privacy-invading tactics. We don't track whether or not donors have clicked on an email, a link, or a button; we don't buy or sell donor lists; we don't use invasive wealth assessment tools; and we aim to minimize the amount of information we collect during the donation process. The Individual Giving Manager must be able to prioritize donor privacy when conducting their duties and responsibilities.
Duties & responsibilities

Contribute to short and long-term fundraising team planning and evaluation of strategic efforts
Represent the Tor Project in-person, at virtual events, and with a variety of external stakeholders
Support Director of Fundraising and Executive Director in donor relationship management
Collaborate closely with Fundraising Coordinator to facilitate timely gift acknowledgements and accurate reporting
Core requirements

Proven track record of setting and achieving nonprofit revenue targets
Experience with CRMs and email automation software
Experience writing content for email and social media campaigns and adapting messaging for different audiences

Deeply committed to building a fundraising practice that prioritizes donor privacy
Ability to travel to in-person events (10% travel)
Preferred qualifications
Experience working remotely with a globally distributed team
Experience translating highly technical material into easy, approachable language
Mastery of CRMs and email automation software
Experience fundraising in an online-first or online-only environment
