Reports to Executive Director
Overview of Organization
Madison Square Park Conservancy (MSPC) is the nonprofit entrusted by the City of New York to operate Madison Square Park, a 6.2-acre public space in the heart of Manhattan. Our mission is to conserve, maintain, and program this ever-evolving historic green space, including raising 100% of the park’s operating budget. Our dedicated team takes great pride in caring for and shaping an urban oasis for all to enjoy.
Anchoring a diverse and vibrant live-work community, Madison Square Park is both an intimate neighborhood park and an international destination for 60,000 daily visitors. A public space since 1686, the park has long been a gathering place for people from all walks of life. Today, it is also a public garden, urban forest, wildlife habitat, public art exhibition space, a haven for children and pets to play, and one of New York City’s most transcendent and welcoming places.
Overview of Position
MSPC seeks a Director of Development and Advancement to oversee all fundraising activities, as well as develop and execute a long-term fundraising strategy. Fundraising encompasses individual and corporate giving, institutional giving, annual campaigns (including a year-end appeal and twice-yearly membership drives), four annual fundraising events, and cultivation events. The Director may also be responsible for a capital campaign in the future.
Organizational Structure
Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Director is responsible for planning, managing, and implementing activities that increase, diversify, and sustain philanthropic support for MSPC from the aforementioned sources. The Director works in close cooperation with senior leadership and the Board of Trustees, and manages a team of three, plus external consultants.
