About Seeds of Africa
For 15 years, Seeds of Africa has been transforming lives through education and economic empowerment in Ethiopia. We provide holistic education to children from underserved communities while empowering mothers and caregivers to build sustainable livelihoods.
Today, we support more than 407 students from Pre-K through university and vocational pathways, providing tuition, school supplies, healthcare, transportation, and a project based STEAM education. Through our Community Development Program, we have also helped more than 150 women start or grow businesses, increasing household incomes by 40–50%.
As we grow toward a $1 million annual budget over the next three years, we're looking for a Fundraising & Partnership Manager to help drive our next phase of impact.

Position Overview
This is a relationship focused role responsible for growing and diversifying Seeds of Africa's funding base through donor cultivation, strategic partnerships, and supporter engagement.
Working closely with the Founder and Ethiopia Country Director, you'll lead fundraising initiatives, strengthen relationships with high net worth individuals and partners, reactivate supporter networks, and increase the organization's visibility. This role emphasizes relationship building and opportunity creation rather than traditional grant heavy fundraising.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support fundraising strategy, planning, and donor pipeline development.
  • Cultivate and steward high net worth donors and strategic partners.
  • Reactivate and engage a network of 4,000+ supporters.
  • Develop donor campaigns, fundraising materials, and partnership communications.
  • Coordinate fundraising events, virtual engagement, and donor stewardship.
  • Maintain fundraising systems, donor records, reporting, and compliance.
  • Collaborate with program teams to develop compelling fundraising opportunities aligned with organizational impact.

What We're Looking For
  • 5–8 years' experience in fundraising, partnerships, or project management.
  • Proven success building donor relationships and securing fundraising outcomes.
  • Excellent communication, relationship building, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience with donor databases, CRMs, Google Workspace, Canva, Mailchimp, and project management tools.
  • Highly organized, collaborative, proactive, and mission driven.
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
  • Experience living or working in Africa, particularly East Africa or Ethiopia, is strongly preferred.

Why Join Us?
Join a passionate team committed to transforming lives through education and community development. You'll work in a collaborative, purpose driven environment while helping scale an organization creating lasting impact across Ethiopia.
Additional Information
This is a remote, part time role (20 hours/week) with a preference for candidates based in East Africa. The successful candidate will travel to Ethiopia twice a year and occasionally work across time zones.
