Philanthropy Lead - Individuals & Families

RIVET is seeking a strategic, relationship-driven fundraiser to grow, activate and steward our community of individual major donors. As we scale towards a future powered by Gen Z, RIVET’s philanthropic community play a critical role in funding, advising, and growing this movement. This role sits at the heart of RIVET’s fundraising and community strategy - responsible for securing significant philanthropic investment while stewarding a highly engaged network of families and individuals. Working closely with the CEO, Impact, and Marketing teams, you will lead on frontline fundraising and manage a robust donor pool to ensure members feel deeply connected to RIVET’s mission, people, and impact. This is a hands-on role for someone who is excited to shape a global philanthropic community. RIVET’s model for individual giving includes our Leadership Council (for families) and Youth Impact Council (designed for professionals).

RIVET is looking to bring on a 20-30 hr/week fundraiser to do three things:

1. Grow and steward RIVET’s Councils: Build, manage, and deepen relationships with Leadership Council and Youth Impact Council members, securing multi-year philanthropic commitments while ensuring members, including teen & young adult family members, feel highly engaged, valued, and connected to RIVET’s mission and people.
2. Drive philanthropic revenue: Lead frontline fundraising across both Councils - identifying and developing a donor pipeline, moving prospects through cultivation, and closing gifts.
3. Activate Councils as a force for organizational growth: Design and deliver meaningful engagement experiences to leverage Councils’ networks, insights, and influence to support RIVET’s broader growth, including across new foundations, firms, and brand partnerships.

You will join a dedicated, low-ego team in launching a first-of-its-kind philanthropic movement led by youth. Supported by the CEO, this role works across the organization and volunteer leadership.

Time Commitment: This is a part-time opportunity — approximately 20 - 30 hours per week, flexible and variable depending on needs.
