With 20 years of impact and a major growth phase in 2026, it offers a unique opportunity to drive systemic change through technology education.

About This Role

As Fundraising Partnerships Manager, you'll manage corporate and foundation partnerships in the $10K–$75K range, from early conversations through renewal. You'll be the day-to-day relationship manager, ensuring partners have a positive experience while supporting the Director on larger opportunities. This role is crucial for sustaining Technovation's growth and deepening partner engagement.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start by checking your CRM for upcoming partner calls or deadlines, then draft a proposal for a foundation renewal. Midday, you'll hop on a video call with a corporate partner to discuss their impact report. After lunch, you'll coordinate with the Director on a larger opportunity and update partner records before sending a thank-you note to a new donor.

  • Overlooking the importance of CRM and project management skills; failing to mention your system for tracking partner interactions can signal disorganization.
