🏢 About 100 Degrees Consulting

100 Degrees Consulting (operating as Prosper Learning Co.) is unique because it focuses exclusively on building financial capacity for nonprofits through practical, human-centered training. Unlike generic consulting firms, they partner directly with foundations and nonprofit networks to deliver targeted solutions that improve financial reporting, reduce risk, and increase organizational sustainability. Someone might want to work here to directly impact nonprofit financial health while collaborating with mission-aligned philanthropic partners.

About This Role

This Strategic Partnerships Manager role involves developing and executing targeted outreach to foundations and capacity-building organizations to fund or license nonprofit financial training programs. You'll be responsible for building relationships, leading partnership conversations, and tracking KPIs for pipeline and conversion rates. This role is impactful because it directly generates resources that enable nonprofits to strengthen their financial operations and long-term sustainability.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching and prioritizing foundation prospects aligned with nonprofit financial capacity building, conducting virtual discovery calls with potential partners to understand their funding priorities, and developing tailored proposals that translate training outcomes into partnership value. You'd also track pipeline metrics in a CRM system and collaborate with internal teams to align partnership opportunities with program delivery capabilities.
