Are you motivated by mission-driven work grounded in faith and freedom?

At HSLDA, we exist to protect and advance the freedom of families to homeschool. That work is grounded in a deep conviction: parents have the God-given right and responsibility to direct the education of their children.

We’re strengthening our major gifts program at a pivotal moment—and we’re looking for someone who wants to step into meaningful work from day one.

You’ll work closely with the Director of Development to build and grow a major gifts program.  This role is about engaging supporters, contributing to strategy, and helping shape how we invite others into this mission.

This is a full-time position, located on-site in our Purcellville, Virginia office.

What You Will Do

  • Build relationships with supporters who are deeply invested in the future of homeschooling
  • Engage donors through thoughtful, personal outreach rooted in trust and shared purpose
  • Communicate the impact of HSLDA’s advocacy in defending families at the state and federal level
  • Support donor conversations and help connect individuals to the broader homeschool freedom movement
  • Help develop and grow a major gifts program alongside the Director of Development

What You Will Bring

  • A bachelor's degree (preferred) 
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with donors over time
  • Experience or comfort with donor outreach, relationship management, and fundraising
  • Ability to maintain professional composure, even in emotional or stressful situations 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills 
  • Fluency in Spanish preferred 
  • Technical competency; proficiency in Microsoft Office and experience with Salesforce (or a donor CRM) is a plus 
  • Ability to function well individually and on a team 
  • Ability to conduct and analyze research 
  • An investigative spirit, self-motivation, and a desire to learn in a dynamic environment 
  • Being a committed Christian who supports HSLDA's mission 
  • HSLDA requests a minimum two-year commitment

What We Offer You

  • Medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance.
  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Long-term and short-term disability insurance
  • 401k retirement savings plan
  • Fourteen paid holidays, plus your birthday annually

Join us to build relationships, advance freedom, and serve a greater mission.
