Interview Process:
The process consisted of three rounds. The first was a written assignment focused on donor engagement strategy and ethical considerations in fundraising. The second was a Zoom interview with two regional staff—questions were mostly behavioral and scenario-based (e.g., “How would you handle a donor who wants visibility in a sensitive campaign?”). The final round was with a senior staff member based in New York and included questions about power dynamics in philanthropy, DEI practices, and team management.
