Basecamp Strategy (remote/Washington, D.C.) is seeking an experienced political fundraiser with a proven track record of smashing fundraising goals to join our team.
We’re a fast-growing fundraising firm (that specializes in both digital and offline fundraising) seeking a badass fundraiser who is ready to smash goals for candidates and organizations doing incredible work in the world.
If you love people and wooing high dollar donors, this could be the ideal position for you. But you’ll have to be both delightful and relentlessly persistent as you push forward to get the donations in the door, even when lots of people will tell you “not right now.” (Bonus points if you refreshed ActBlue at least 10x today.)
We’re looking for a talented fundraiser who will take our existing program for a marquee client, build a new finance plan, and execute that plan, raising $250,000+ in the first three months and millions before Election Day.
About Basecamp Strategy:
At Basecamp Strategy, our vision for a better world drives everything we do: we believe that people with good ideas CAN change the world when empowered with the right tools and expertise.
We win tough races and help organizations change the world by raising our clients as much money as possible online and off. But we’re a different kind of fundraising firm: We motivate with honesty and authenticity. We’re digital storytellers. And not only do candidates, donors, and voters prefer our style, but we’ve also seen time and again that this kind of content drives the strongest fundraising results.
The best strategies for engaging donors have yet to be invented -- and we’re here to innovate and do just that. And we can only do exceptional work if we have the best team in the business. We’re a team of specialists that’s here to challenge assumptions and figure out what performs the best today, not what worked in 2012, 2014, 2016, or November 2018.
We know that when more voices are at the table, bigger, better, and bolder things happen. In both hiring employees and recruiting clients, we approach every decision with a commitment to diversity. Basecamp Strategy recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, and other protected status as required by applicable law.
Our approach has garnered us notice, and our team is growing and evolving quickly. No one is doing the same job they were doing six months ago or even three months or a month ago. You’ll be asked to learn quickly, and the moment you’ve nailed it, we hope you’ll be ready to learn something new.
If you love a fast-paced environment, doing tremendously good work efficiently, thinking outside the box, and figuring out how to go from great to incredibly great, then you’ll love it here.
Application process:
If you’re ready to dive right in and raise millions for our clients, please send an email with a one-page resume, 100 words or less on why you find fundraising for Democrats and progressive organizations energizing, and 100 words or less on how you would go about getting our client on 10 or more video pitches in your first week to jo...@basecampstrategy.com.
Please use the subject line “[Firstname Lastname] - Basecamp Strategy Fundraiser.” Please indicate that you saw this position on Jobs That Are Left and let us know when you would be available to start.

Salary is commensurate with experience. Basecamp Strategy offers competitive benefits. Our office is located in Washington, D.C., but for now, given COVID-19, we are working remotely. We’re looking for candidates who can start right away.
