Fundraising & Marketing Copywriter (Remote)

Are you a copywriter who is looking to use your creative abilities to inspire, educate and help change the world? Would you like to write content that inspires stewardship of progressive causes like environmental conservation, social justice, and the cultural arts?

Avalon Consulting - an innovative, full-service fundraising consulting agency - is seeking a Fundraising & Marketing Copywriter to write fresh, inspiring creative content for our nonprofit clients' direct marketing fundraising programs as well as our internal marketing and business development efforts.

Avalon was founded over two decades ago to create a place for women to have a seat at the table in a male-dominated direct marketing industry. Today, we remain committed to equity and inclusion, and encourage people from all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, national origins, and more to apply.

We are pleased to offer a remote-first work environment and any staff member may work from the comfort and safety of their home office, with occasional travel required for client meetings, industry events/training, or company gatherings.

This will be an exceptional opportunity for you to collaborate with an award-winning, expert team of dedicated, fun, and passionate fundraising professionals at one of the Washington Post's 2022 Top Workplaces!

What You Will Do With us…

• Create and direct fundraising messaging and copy for direct marketing letters, newsletters, reply forms, surveys, brochures, inserts, and other materials as needed for client projects.
• Draft and version digital fundraising copy from existing direct mail copy for outbound emails, landing pages, and thank you auto-responders for e-campaigns.
