Fundraising & Research Associate – Drama Schools Foundation

Mumbai (DSFM)

Reports to: Head of Fundraising

Type: Full-time (6-month probation, with growth pathway)

Location: Mumbai (hybrid, with donor/board travel if needed)

About DSFM

The Drama Schools Foundation Mumbai is a Section 8 non-profit dedicated to weaving the

transformational power of theatre into civic and cultural life. Through initiatives such as Drama School

Mumbai (DSM), Ekalavya.art, Theatreशाला, and Unrehearsed Futures, DSFM nurtures artists, builds

access to training, and shapes theatre as essential civic infrastructure.

Role Overview

We are looking for a motivated fundraising professional to help build DSFM’s development engine —

from research and proposals to systems and donor stewardship. This role is ideal for someone with

3–5 years’ experience who is eager to consolidate their skills and grow into a frontline fundraising

professional.

You will build DSFM’s fundraising backbone: keeping the donor pipeline current, drafting proposals

and reports, and ensuring stewardship systems are well-managed. Over time, as you establish fluency

in DSFM’s narrative and systems, you may have the opportunity to co-own donor relationships and,

eventually, manage a warm portfolio sourced via the Development Advisory Board.

Working Style & Environment

This is a fast-moving, high-expectation environment. The Fundraising Associate will work directly with

the Founder, who sets ambitious targets and works at pace. Success in this role requires resilience,

proactive communication, and the ability to manage upwards with confidence — anticipating needs,

keeping priorities clear, and creating structure in a dynamic, founder-driven context.

Key Responsibilities (Three Buckets)

1. Donor Intelligence & Prospecting

Maintain an up-to-date donor database (HNIs, CSR, institutions)
Research and map new prospects; prepare concise donor and prospect briefs for leadership and

Development Board meetings

Support Development Board members with background notes and prospect tracking

2. Proposals & Communications

Draft proposals, reports, and presentations aligned with DSFM initiatives
Keep proposal/report templates current and standardised across initiatives
Contribute to donor newsletters, mailers, and impact communications

3. Systems & Stewardship Support

Maintain grant calendar and submission tracker
Ensure all donor/board interactions are logged in CRM within 48 hours
Lead the fundraising design and delivery of donor salons and stewardship events (concept,

case materials, prospecting, follow-ups), working with operations staff for logistics

Prepare dashboards and internal reports on fundraising activity

Growth Pathway & Compensation

Year 1 (Months 0–12):

₹60,000/month fixed salary, full-time
6-month probation with deliverables: clean donor list, grant calendar live, 3 proposals submitted,

20 new donors (and approaches identified).

Focus on research, proposals, systems, and stewardship support

Year 2 onwards:

Base salary incremented annually in line with DSFM’s HR policy (typically 8–10%)
Eligible for an annual performance bonus tied to departmental fundraising target achievement

(e.g. equivalent to 1–2 months’ salary if annual target is met)

As DSFM’s fundraising function grows (₹4cr → ₹6cr → ₹8cr+), this role will expand in scope, with

opportunities for higher responsibility and compensation through bonuses and expanded stewardship

duties

Ultimate Goal (24 Months+):

If successful, the role evolves into a trusted frontline fundraiser capable of originating, managing, and

actively supporting the closing of major gifts within DSFM’s donor ecosystem.

Candidate Profile

● 3–5 years in fundraising, donor engagement, or corporate partnerships (arts/non-profit sector

preferred)

● Strong research, writing, and presentation skills

● Proficiency in spreadsheets, CRM tools, and donor data management

● Confident working with senior stakeholders (philanthropists, corporate leaders)

● Passion for theatre as an instrument for social good is preferable.

● Ability to manage upwards with confidence—anticipating needs, communicating proactively,

and maintaining clarity in a high-paced, founder-driven environment

To Apply

Serious candidates can send an up to date CV and a short statement (max 300 words) explaining why

fundraising for DSFM excites you, and what skills or experiences you would bring to this role

[email protected] with the subject line: “DSFM Fundraising Associate Application”.

Pay: ₹60,000.00 per month
