Major Gifts Officer

This is strictly a volunteer position. The ASEAN Integrated Energy Infrastructure System Project is dedicated to integrating the national energy infrastructure systems of all 10 ASEAN member nations through working primarily with stakeholder mobilization and geographic information systems teams, among others. We are aiming for a sustainable regional system that is shaped in the interest of ASEAN nation stakeholders. We seek a passionate and results-driven Major Gifts Officer to join our fundraising team. This role will focus on building and maintaining relationships with high-net-worth individuals and philanthropic organizations to secure significant donations that support our mission.

• Relationship Building: Develop and maintain strong, long-term relationships with major donors and prospects, ensuring they are engaged with our mission and impact.

• Donor Cultivation: Identify, cultivate, and solicit major gift prospects through personalized outreach, including meetings, events, and tailored communications.

• Proposal Development: Collaborate with leadership and program staff to craft compelling proposals that articulate the vision, goals, and impact of our projects within the ASEAN energy infrastructure sector.

• Stewardship: Create and implement donor stewardship plans to ensure ongoing engagement, recognition, and appreciation for major donors, including personalized updates on project progress and impact.

• Strategic Planning: Contribute to the development and execution of the organization’s major gifts strategy, aligning efforts with overall fundraising goals and priorities.

• Collaboration: Work closely with the fundraising team and other departments to identify funding needs, coordinate outreach efforts, and share insights on donor preferences and trends.

• Event Participation: Represent the organization at events, conferences, and networking opportunities to engage potential major donors and share our mission.

• Tracking and Reporting: Maintain accurate records of donor interactions, contributions, and progress towards fundraising goals, providing regular updates to leadership.

The Singapore based Project Team has team members across ASEAN, and is mapping out all possible development locations for every aspect of a regional energy infrastructure system uniting the national energy infrastructure systems of all 10 ASEAN member nations. This map, once complete, is then used to engage stakeholders across ASEAN to determine the viability for each project to be developed based on levels of stakeholder support. That produces a Stakeholder Viability Map, which is then used to build a Memorandum of Understanding between the 10 ASEAN member nations which sets the terms for how the integrated ASEAN Regional Energy Infrastructure System (or ASEAN Power Grid) will be established.

Join us in making a transformative impact on the energy infrastructure of the ASEAN region!
