Remote Director of Philanthropy
📍 Remote
What is FaithTech?
FaithTech exists to awaken a Jesus revival in and through tech by practicing redemptive technology design.
We currently have over 40 active communities around the world. We have over 70 active volunteer-led
labs projects building technology that helps the poor, the local church or advance the good news of Jesus.
By God’s grace, FaithTech is experiencing significant growth, with communities emerging across the globe. To support this expansion, we are seeking a full-time Director of Philanthropy to lead our fundraising and development efforts. The Director of Philanthropy will work closely with our Executive Team to innovatively redesign our donor engagement plan, cultivate relationships with individuals and foundations, and expand our network of corporate partners.
Our philosophy of philanthropy and fundraising is that we seek to serve philanthropists, not the other way
around. We want to journey with people to help them understand their generosity vision and purpose. We
seek to discover how that may align with FaithTech, but never force that alignment, and are happy to refer a philanthropist to another organization if it’s a better fit.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for our mission, experience in nonprofit fundraising and development or corporate sales, and the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with donors.
Responsibilities
The Director of Philanthropy is responsible for leading FaithTech's fundraising efforts across three key areas: relationship building, fundraising, and strategic coordination.
