About CRY:
For over four decades, CRY has worked to ensure lasting change in the lives of children across India. Our work goes beyond charity—we partner with communities, institutions, governments, and supporters to create environments where every child can survive, learn, grow, and thrive.
Your Role:
CRY is seeking a senior professional who can help expand our network of corporate and philanthropic supporters across Eastern and North Eastern India, building meaningful partnerships that generate long-term support for children and strengthen CRY’s mission across the country.
This role sits at the intersection of philanthropy, corporate partnerships, and resource mobilization. We are looking for someone who can engage High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), philanthropists, business families, corporate leaders, and CSR partners, and inspire them to become long-term champions of children’s rights.
What you will do:
- Build and nurture relationships with HNIs, philanthropists, business families, corporate leaders, and CSR stakeholders.
- Grow CRY’s corporate and philanthropic supporter base across East and North East India.
- Generate strategic partnerships and funding opportunities for CRY’s work.
- Strengthen CRY’s visibility and influence within corporate and philanthropic networks.
- Lead, mentor, and support a team of fundraising professionals while driving achievement of regional partnership, revenue, and growth targets.
Why CRY?:
Every child deserves the chance to thrive. Yet meaningful change rarely happens in isolation—it happens when individuals, institutions, and communities come together around a shared purpose.
At CRY, you will have the opportunity to bring together philanthropists, business leaders, corporates, and changemakers who have both the ability and the desire to make a difference.
You will help create the partnerships that turn intent into action, generosity into opportunity, and support into lasting change for children.
If you are someone who enjoys opening doors, building trusted relationships, and connecting people to causes larger than themselves, you will find both purpose and possibility at CRY.
