The organization is seeking a Director of Individual Giving & Donor Engagement and a Senior Development Manager, both of whom will play critical roles in strengthening donor relationships, fundraising strategy, stewardship programs, and community engagement efforts.

Position 1: Director of Individual Giving & Donor Engagement

Salary: $149,000 – $155,000 annually

The Director of Individual Giving & Donor Engagement serves as a senior fundraising leader responsible for developing and implementing CAA’s overall individual giving strategy.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading donor cultivation and stewardship strategies.
• Managing major donor relationships.
• Developing annual and long-term fundraising plans.
• Supporting board and executive leadership engagement.
• Building systems for donor tracking and relationship management.
• Overseeing fundraising performance and donor retention initiatives.
• Supervising fundraising staff and development operations.

This role is ideal for professionals with extensive experience in relationship-based fundraising and donor engagement.

Position 2: Senior Development Manager

Salary: $119,000 – $125,000 annually

The Senior Development Manager focuses on donor events, stewardship programs, and fundraising operations. Reporting to the Director of Individual Giving & Donor Engagement, this position ensures donor engagement activities support organizational fundraising goals.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Planning and managing major fundraising events.
• Coordinating donor appreciation programs.
• Managing sponsorship opportunities.
• Overseeing event logistics and vendor relationships.
• Supporting donor communications and stewardship.
• Supervising the Development Coordinator.
• Tracking event performance and donor engagement outcomes.

This role is perfect for fundraising professionals with strong event management and donor cultivation experience.

What Both Roles Have in Common

Both positions contribute directly to strengthening CAA’s fundraising capacity and expanding its community of supporters.

Successful candidates will help:

• Grow philanthropic support.
• Build meaningful donor relationships.
• Advance social justice initiatives.
• Support immigrant and civil rights advocacy.
• Strengthen organizational sustainability.
• Expand community engagement efforts.

These leadership positions require professionals who can collaborate across departments while maintaining a strong commitment to equity and inclusion.

Required Experience and Qualifications

Candidates applying for either role should demonstrate:

• Strong commitment to CAA’s mission and values.
• Experience in nonprofit fundraising and development.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities.
• Experience working with donor databases and CRM systems.
• Strong organizational and strategic thinking skills.
• Experience collaborating with senior leadership and stakeholders.

The Director role typically requires 7–10 years of progressive fundraising experience, while the Senior Development Manager position requires at least 5 years of fundraising and event management experience.

Preferred Qualifications

CAA welcomes candidates with experience in:

• Social justice organizations.
• Civil rights advocacy.
• Immigrant rights initiatives.
• Community-based nonprofits.
• Donor stewardship and major gifts fundraising.
• Salesforce, EveryAction, or similar CRM systems.
• Asian American and Pacific Islander community engagement.

Conversational Cantonese or Mandarin language skills are considered an asset for the Senior Development Manager position.

Outstanding Benefits Package

Employees hired into these positions will receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

• Competitive salaries up to $155,000 annually.
• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees.
• Life and long-term disability insurance.
• Employer-funded health reimbursement account.
• Paid time off.
• Professional development support.
• Hybrid work flexibility.
• Opportunities to work alongside nationally recognized social justice leaders.

Why These Opportunities Stand Out

These positions offer far more than traditional fundraising roles. Successful candidates will directly contribute to advancing civil rights, racial justice, immigrant advocacy, and community empowerment efforts across the United States.

Professionals seeking meaningful leadership opportunities within a respected nonprofit organization will find both positions offer the chance to combine fundraising expertise with mission-driven impact. With strong compensation, excellent benefits, and the opportunity to shape donor engagement strategies that support lasting social change, these openings represent exceptional career opportunities for experienced nonprofit development leaders.
