Community Fundraising Manager

Conservation Colorado is seeking a Community Fundraising Manager to develop and manage a comprehensive fundraising plan to broaden and deepen support of our small donor program using a community-centric fundraising approach that centers equity & inclusion and fundraising best practices.

Reporting to the VP of Fundraising, this role leads the strategy, management, and execution of major fundraising events—including our premier annual celebration, Rebel with a Cause—while driving growth and stewardship across our small and monthly donor communities.

This position is a great opportunity to help build a thriving, sustainable donor base that is committed to helping the organization grow and deliver big wins on environmental policy. To be successful in this job, you will have the emotional intelligence, flexibility, and tenacity, to work well with our team. Fundamentally, we want someone who can thrive in a fast-paced & collaborative environment. More specifically, you will have or be most or all of the following:

• Small-Dollar Portfolio Management & Inclusive Stewardship Experience. You’ll have proven experience managing and growing a portfolio of small-dollar and monthly donors, applying equitable, community‑centric fundraising practices that honor diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and ensure every supporter feels valued and included.
• Strong Project Management Skills. This role is responsible for End-to-End Event Planning & Financial Execution of our events so you must have the ability to independently plan, execute, and oversee complex fundraising events—from budget development and reconciliation to vendor coordination, logistics oversight, and cross‑team sponsorship fulfillment.
• Exceptional Collaboration Skills. This position requires deep cross-departmental partnerships. That means you’ll need strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, with a demonstrated ability to work fluidly across departments, manage up and across teams, and drive multi‑channel donor engagement strategies that require tight coordination and clear communication.
• Community-Informed Fundraising & Committee Engagement Experience. We would love to find someone with deep experience partnering with community-based committees and stakeholders to design, promote, and execute fundraising events that authentically reflect community priorities, elevate local voices, and strengthen grassroots participation. But if you understand community-centric fundraising and believe in equitable fundraising best practices, let’s talk.

This position does not have an undergraduate education requirement. Spanish/English bilingual is a skill we value, but it is not a requirement. This is a full-time job but there can be some flexibility in the exact schedule.

Salary Range: $80,000-90,000, with exact salary depending on relevant experience and demonstrated competencies
