Fund the fight against an ongoing pandemic. The Canadian Covid Society is looking for a volunteer Fundraising Coordinator with professional fund development experience to help grow the giving program that powers our national campaigns, a couple of hours a week.
About the Canadian Covid Society
We are a national non-profit founded by physicians, scientists, engineers, and advocates. Our mission is to inform the public about the health consequences of Covid infections, to advocate for science-based measures to reduce transmission, and to empower and support people with Long Covid. Our current campaigns include Clean Air in Schools, Safer Health Care, and Long Covid awareness and resources.
What you’ll do
- Help build our annual fundraising plan: individual giving, appeals, and a monthly donor (sustainer) program
- Write donor communications: e-appeals, thank-yous, impact updates, and stewardship touches
- Own donor stewardship and retention: segmentation, donor journeys, lapsed-donor reactivation
- Research sponsorship and funding opportunities open to non-profits
- Support peer-to-peer and community fundraising campaigns
- Keep donor records clean and reportable in our tools
What we’re looking for
- Professional fundraising or fund development experience: development coordinator, donor relations, annual giving, or equivalent hands-on nonprofit fundraising
- Familiarity with a donor CRM or giving platform (Keela, Zeffy, CanadaHelps, Donorbox, Salesforce NPSP, or similar)
- Strong appeal-writing: you can move someone from caring to giving
- Comfort with fundraising KPIs: retention rate, average gift, campaign ROI
Nice to have: AFP membership or CFRE, monthly giving program experience, corporate sponsorship, peer-to-peer platforms.
If fundraising is something you’d put on your résumé, you’re exactly who we’re hoping to meet: someone we can hand a campaign to with confidence.
Time commitment
- About 2 hours a week, on your own schedule, asynchronous-first
- One short planning meeting a month at most, approximately one hour, always remote
- 100% remote, anywhere in Canada
What you get
- A real development shop in miniature: professional project management software, shared workspaces, and organized donor data
- Measurable results you can point to: campaigns you built, revenue you grew
- Collaboration with the physicians, scientists, and advocates who operate the Society
- A reference that reflects professional work
- A role designed to be flexible and accessible, including for people living with Long Covid or who are medically vulnerable
