About Bros Before Lows (BBL) Foundation

“Where Brotherhood Meets Purpose” The Bros Before Lows (BBL) Foundation is a federally incorporated not-for-profit established to directly combat the escalating male suicide crisis in Canada. We provide a low-barrier, high-impact "third space" that bridges the gap between peer-led isolation reduction and professional healthcare systems.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an ambitious, results-driven Fundraising & Development Manager to become the primary revenue driver for our foundation. As BBL scales from a successful local pilot into a national network, we have set aggressive funding targets: $50,000 for Horizon 1 and $225,000 for Horizon 2.

Reporting to the Executive Director, you will bridge the gap between our powerful impact data and potential financial backers. If you are a persuasive storyteller who knows how to navigate government grants, cultivate corporate sponsors, and turn community goodwill into sustainable funding, we need you on our team.

• Donor Relations: Cultivate, manage, and steward relationships with individual donors, corporate sponsors, and philanthropic partners.
• Data-Driven Proposals: Collaborate directly with our Grant Data & Impact Analyst to weave BBL's wellness statistics into highly persuasive funding proposals.
• Event Monetization: Work alongside our Marketing, Events & Partnerships Lead to monetize community events (e.g., charity tournaments) and maximize donor retention.
• Financial Tracking: Track and allocate incoming funds to ensure they are spent in strict compliance with donor restrictions and organizational budgets.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven track record in not-for-profit fundraising, grant writing, and donor stewardship.
• Exceptional, persuasive written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience managing donor relationships and utilizing CRM software.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple grant deadlines simultaneously, and thrive in a fast-paced, startup non-profit environment.
• Passion for men's mental health advocacy and an understanding of the male suicide crisis in Canada.
