Women’s Refugee Commission is a non-profit organization committed to protecting the rights and safety of displaced and migrant women and girls in the US and around the world. Since our founding 35 years ago, WRC has worked to protect the rights of displaced women, children, and youth and to transform the humanitarian system so that it is more responsive to their needs. We have a proven track record of rigorous monitoring, advocacy, and public education that advances women’s rights and curbs harmful policies and practices. To strengthen our fundraising efforts, deepen donor relationships, and expand our base of institutional support, we are seeking a qualified professional to join our team in a full-time temporary role focused on institutional giving and partnerships. 

Scope of Work: 

This position will drive revenue growth by identifying and pursuing new funding opportunities while strengthening relationships with current institutional donors.

  • Cultivate and steward relationships through personalized outreach, virtual and in-person meetings, tailored impact reports, and meaningful recognition.  

Communications and Relationship Building

  • Track and analyze donor engagement metrics to inform strategy. 

Fundraising and Proposal Support  

  • Research and cultivate new funding opportunities across foundations, government agencies, corporations, and multilateral donors.  
  • Identify and build relationships with key network and partner agencies to uncover collaborative fundraising opportunities and align strategies. This includes mapping potential allies across sectors, fostering strategic partnerships, and leveraging shared goals to expand funding prospects and amplify impact. 

Data and Knowledge Management

  • Enhance existing systems by strengthening and regularly monitoring dashboards and reports to effectively track engagement, revenue, and donor deliverables. 

Qualifications:  
  • At least 10 years of progressive experience in donor engagement, stewardship, and/or development.  
  • Proven track record of building strong donor relationships and increasing support.
