About Major Gifts Manager roles
Major Gifts Manager is a management title within fundraising manager work in the data space. Day to day, the role draws on Donor cultivation, Major gifts pipeline management, Salesforce NPSP, and Raiser’s Edge. Hiring teams evaluate candidates on how you frame ambiguous questions, choose methods, validate results, and turn findings into decisions. Because this title specializes in major gifts, examples drawn from major gifts work will carry more weight than general fundraising manager stories.
Prepare both halves of the process here: tighten your resume around models, analyses, and dashboards tied to the decisions they informed and the lift they produced, then rehearse interview answers that walk through a situation, the decision you made, and a measurable outcome. A representative interview question for this field: “How do you set up an annual giving plan that reliably hits target?” Many candidates bring a background such as BA in Nonprofit Management.
