Overview
Middle Way School offers an innovative education model that integrates Buddhist wisdom and compassion with contemporary pedagogical approaches. As part of the broader vision of Khyentse Foundation's educational initiatives, MWS serves as a model for contemplative education that nurtures both academic excellence and inner development.
MWS is seeking a consultant who will partner with the school’s Board of Trustees, Head of School, and Development Manager to create and oversee an annual comprehensive strategic development framework and plan. This consultant will provide expert guidance to enhance the school's fundraising initiatives and goals, with a particular focus on developing relationships with donors and grantors including high net individuals and foundations as well as strengthening the MWS Annual Fund, with the ultimate goal of creating and building a $10-$20 million endowment fund for Middle Way School in the coming years (ideally by 2030). The SDC will guide the Development Manager in the execution of the fundraising strategy.
The ideal consultant will be deeply inspired by Middle Way School's mission to provide education founded on Buddhist wisdom and compassion. They should demonstrate an understanding of and appreciation for Khyentse Foundation's global educational initiatives. This consultant should bring both technical fundraising expertise and a genuine connection to contemplative educational approaches.
Qualified candidates who feel aligned with our mission and bring the necessary expertise are encouraged to apply.
