Background

About Ethan Eldreth

For over a decade, I've worked at nonprofit organizations to amplify their mission impact by bridging the gap between technology, operations, and strategy. I thrive on optimizing digital ecosystems – from websites and CRMs to email campaigns – and streamlining internal processes to ensure organizations can focus on what matters most: creating positive change. My expertise lies in a unique combination of hands-on technical execution and operational oversight. I'm highly proficient in: Website Management: Expertly managing multiple WordPress sites (up to 7 concurrently), including content updates, security protocols, performance optimization (SEO), analytics (Google Analytics), and platform migrations. Experienced in Joomla, WordPress, HTML/CSS and learning Python. CRM & Database Administration: Managing donor and supporter data integrity within various CRMs (Network for Good, Salsa Labs, Salesforce), focusing on segmentation, reporting, data cleanup, and developing efficient data entry processes (SOPs). Email Marketing: Building, deploying, testing, and analyzing targeted email campaigns (newsletters, fundraising appeals, action alerts) using platforms like MailChimp, Constant Contact, and integrated CRM tools, achieving significant improvements in open rates (up to 27%) and engagement (13%) through A/B testing. Digital Operations: Administering Google Workspace, managing Google Ad Grants ($10k/month, consistently meeting KPIs), providing comprehensive IT support, and supporting virtual event technology. Beyond the technical, I bring significant experience in nonprofit operations, including process improvement, developing SOPs, supporting budget tracking and financial reconciliations (QuickBooks Online), assisting with payroll/HR administration, managing vendor relationships, and coordinating complex projects (Google Project Management Certified). I'm particularly adept at navigating organizational transitions and ambiguity. As Associate Director at Food Empowerment Project, I co-led the organization during a critical leadership change, ensuring operational stability while managing digital infrastructure and supporting the team. I'm a proactive problem-solver and passionate about building efficient, sustainable systems. I am seeking opportunities where I can leverage this holistic skill set to help mission-driven organizations enhance their digital presence, streamline operations, and ultimately achieve greater impact.
