About Primer

Primer is dedicated to fixing the K-12 education system, believing that educational quality should not be determined by a student's zip code. Our mission is to empower educators to launch microschools within their communities, offering a world-class education that is accessible and scalable. We achieve this by automating and reducing the costs associated with traditional schooling, leveraging the asset-light nature of microschools.

The Primer Foundation ensures that this accessible education is available to every family, regardless of their income, and commits to never turning a family away due to their ability to pay.

Position Overview

Primer is seeking a frontline fundraiser to collaborate closely with the Head of the Foundation to significantly grow philanthropic support. With a strong track record, including raising seven figures in the first 18 months and recognition as the Yass Prize Winner in 2024, we are looking for an entrepreneurial individual to expand our major donor portfolio. This role requires strategic thinking, a hands-on approach, and a deep understanding of philanthropic principles.

Responsibilities

• Major Donor Portfolio Management: Create and manage a portfolio of major gift donors, encompassing identification, cultivation, solicitation, stewardship, and renewal.
• Mid-Level Giving Program: Develop and implement a mid-level giving program to strengthen the donor pipeline.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a representative of Primer, building strategic relationships with donors and community members, and attending key events.
• Communications Management: Oversee stakeholder communications to enhance awareness and engagement, driving gift renewals and increases.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven history of successfully closing five-figure and ideally six-figure gifts.
• Demonstrated ability to meet or exceed ambitious fundraising goals.
• Experience in building relationships that lead to increased giving; experience growing a donor base at a new organization is a plus.
• Prior fundraising experience with education-related causes.
• Work experience within a fast-growing organization is advantageous.
