Type of Role: Full time, remote anywhere in Canada Reports To: Director of Client Service BuildGood is a fundraising growth agency. We help nonprofits change the way they find new donors, retain them longer, and grow lifetime value, building a system that creates moments of generosity from first-time giver to legacy leaver. Generosity grows when people feel motivated — when giving supports their identity, creates a sense of connection, and makes supporters feel competent and effective in their giving.
We design fundraising systems around building donor motivation and leading first-time donors to become lifelong supporters. We partner with nonprofits across North America to grow durable revenue, from donor acquisition and direct mail to digital fundraising, retention, and mid-level giving. We're a growing, research-informed fundraising agency with a clear point of view and big ambitions—and you can help shape what comes next.
