Caring Across Generations (caringacross.org) is an intersectional campaign working to make care more affordable and accessible at every stage of life, while making sure caregivers are treated with respect and dignity. Founded in 2011 by workers’ rights activists Sarita Gupta and Ai-jen Poo, we’re focused on creating change in three ways: organizing a powerful movement of the Caring Majority, fighting for groundbreaking policy at the state level and federal level, and changing hearts and minds through storytelling and leveraging pop culture. The Individual Giving Manager, supervised by the Director of Development, is responsible for the development and execution of a comprehensive annual giving program to increase Caring Across Generations’ individual giving portfolio and support. The Individual Giving Manager cultivates, develops, and oversees relationships with existing donors and new prospects, focusing on securing gifts of $1,000+ from individuals in support of Caring Across strategic objectives.
