As a donor development officer, you'll identify, engage and cultivate current and prospective donors to help expand the financial support for your charity. Ultimately, donor development officers keep current donors engaged and help find new prospective donors to give to their cause. You'll be responsible for creating a growth strategy, ensuring fundraising targets are met and developing new, lucrative relationships. This is a mission-critical role because it ensures the organisation's donor portfolio is constantly filled with current and prospective philanthropists.
