Description:

People & Systems is assisting a civil rights advocacy organization in DC with their search for a Development Director.

OPPORTUNITY:

This is an opportunity to work in an entrepreneurial environment with little bureaucracy where you will lead a fundraising effort that raises $3.5 million+. You will be instrumental in not only growing major individual donor support but for creating maximum visibility in Washington DC as well as other strategic markets nationwide such as San Francisco, LA, Chicago and NY.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

With the assistance of two Development Associates, you will serve as the primary architect and implementer of all fundraising initiatives, while working effectively with the Executive Director, Board and senior management team. You will identify, develop and solicit new donors to fund the mission and specific programs. You will manage and expand institutional fundraising including the oversight of writing, production and timely submission of all proposals and grant reports. As well, you will assist the Executive Director and Director of Operations with the management of corporate Board relations. In addition, you will formulate branding strategies to promote and advance the unique mission while attracting new grantors/major donors and establishing new giving programs.

Additional Qualifications:

This position requires a BA, 4+ years of development experience and a track record of gaining “trusted advisor” status within your work history. A highly strategic fundraising professional with an ability to work in a “hands-on” fashion is required. The ideal individual will also have a solid presence, exude professionalism and possess sensitivity to diverse cultures and customs (experience with civil rights or related mission types is preferred).
