Who We Are:- CBM India Trust
- A leading nonprofit in disability-inclusive development, active in India since 1967 (registered as a Trust in 1994).
- Working across health, education, livelihood, humanitarian action, accessibility, and inclusive sports.
- Empaneled access auditor under the Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan).
- Recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India for certified training in Community-Based Inclusive Development.
- Honoured with the Zero Project Innovation Award (2017) and Divyangjan Swabhiman Samman (2023).
About the Role
Let's make this very clear from the start:-
this is NOT a CSR fundraising role.
No boardrooms. No endless proposal decks. No waiting game.This is individual giving, real conversations, real people, real impact.
You'll be on-ground, engaging with potential donors, building connections, and turning meaningful conversations into long-term support for the cause.
What You'll Be Doing
- Engaging with individuals and inspiring them to contribute.
- Managing and executing individual giving campaigns.
- Building strong donor relationships and improving retention.
- Identifying and approaching potential donors in Malls and Airport locations
- Representing the organization and its work with clarity and conviction.
What Makes This Role Stand Out
- 5 days of face-to-face fundraising :- almost unheard of in this space.
- Indoor working setup:- no running around in the sun all day.
- Travel opportunities:- because growth doesn't happen staying in one place.
- Relocation support to Chennai:- we'll help the right candidate move.
- High incentives + above industry standard salary:- performance actually pays here.
Who We're Looking For
- Someone who has energy you can feel in a room.
- Someone who genuinely enjoys talking to people (especially strangers).
- A natural people magnet:- presence, confidence, and connection skills.
- Someone proactive, driven, and ready to take ownership.
Experience & Qualifications
- Experience in fundraising, individual giving, or donor engagement is a plus.
- Understanding of donor acquisition, retention, and campaign execution.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
- Freshers are welcome if the attitude and energy are right.
The Reality of This Role
- You'll talk to strangers.
- You'll face rejections.
- You'll also walk away knowing you changed someone's perspective:- and supported a cause that truly matters.
If that excites you more than sitting behind a screen all day, you'll fit right in.
