Professionals passionate about fundraising, political engagement, and nonprofit leadership now have an exciting opportunity to join Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI) as a Deputy Director of Development. This high-impact remote position offers a competitive salary ranging from $135,000 to $165,000 annually and allows qualified candidates to work from anywhere in the United States while contributing to national fundraising and donor engagement initiatives.

As organizations continue to strengthen their development teams in 2026, DMFI is searching for an experienced and highly organized fundraising professional who can help execute and coordinate national fundraising strategies while supporting donor cultivation and operational excellence.

About the Organization

Democratic Majority for Israel is a nonprofit organization focused on strengthening support for pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party. The organization works to educate policymakers, engage communities, and build strategic partnerships that advance democratic values and international cooperation.

The Deputy Director of Development position is designed for a motivated professional who thrives in fast-paced political and nonprofit environments and enjoys balancing donor relations, operational management, and event coordination.

Position Overview

The Deputy Director of Development will report directly to the Chief Development Officer and serve as a senior operational and fundraising partner within the organization. This role combines fundraising strategy execution, donor engagement, event management, and development operations.

Although the role is fully remote, candidates should be prepared for regular travel to Washington, DC and New York, as well as occasional evening and weekend fundraising events.

The ideal candidate will possess strong communication abilities, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Key Responsibilities

The successful candidate will oversee a wide range of fundraising and operational duties that support the organization’s national development goals.

Fundraising and Donor Engagement

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the execution of DMFI’s national fundraising strategy
• Managing donor stewardship and relationship-building activities
• Coordinating donor follow-ups and engagement opportunities
• Preparing donor briefing materials and meeting documents
• Conducting prospect research and maintaining donor pipelines
• Assisting with frontline fundraising activities and donor cultivation

The role requires a professional who can confidently interact with donors, hosts, and stakeholders while maintaining discretion and professionalism.

Administrative and Operational Support

The Deputy Director of Development will also help oversee day-to-day development operations, including:

• Managing calendars, travel coordination, and scheduling
• Coordinating fundraising activities across departments
• Maintaining accurate donor records and fundraising data
• Monitoring workflows and development priorities
• Supporting internal communication between leadership, finance, and development teams

Candidates with experience using donor database systems such as EveryAction will have a strong advantage.

Event Planning and Logistics

Fundraising events play a major role in the organization’s outreach and engagement strategy. Responsibilities include:

• Planning donor events and fundraising briefings
• Coordinating invitations and RSVP tracking
• Managing event logistics and day-of operations
• Overseeing post-event donor follow-up communications
• Supporting stewardship initiatives after fundraising activities

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy organizing high-level events and managing multiple moving parts under pressure.

Qualifications and Experience

To qualify for this opportunity, candidates should possess:

• A minimum of 4–6 years of experience in fundraising, nonprofit management, campaigns, or political operations
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and project management abilities
• Experience handling confidential donor information professionally
• The ability to thrive in fast-paced environments
• Willingness to travel regularly and attend occasional evening or weekend events

Experience working in political fundraising or nonprofit development environments is highly preferred.

Salary and Benefits

One of the standout features of this opportunity is the highly competitive compensation package. Successful candidates can earn between $135,000 and $165,000 per year depending on qualifications and experience.

Additional benefits include:

• 100% employer-paid health insurance
• Dental and vision coverage
• Paid vacation and sick leave
• PTO benefits
• Remote work flexibility

This comprehensive package makes the role especially attractive for experienced fundraising professionals seeking both career growth and work flexibility.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

The Deputy Director of Development role offers professionals the chance to work at the intersection of fundraising, advocacy, and political engagement while helping shape impactful national initiatives.

The position combines strategic leadership with hands-on operational responsibilities, making it an excellent fit for individuals who enjoy relationship-building, donor engagement, and mission-driven work.

Professionals seeking meaningful nonprofit leadership opportunities with strong compensation and remote flexibility should strongly consider applying.

How to Apply

Interested applicants can apply directly through the organization’s website. Candidates are encouraged to prepare an updated resume highlighting fundraising achievements, donor management experience, and operational leadership skills.

As fundraising and donor engagement continue to play a critical role in nonprofit sustainability, positions like this provide an exciting pathway for professionals ready to make a measurable impact while advancing their careers.

Applications are expected to be competitive, so early submission is encouraged.
