About Vote Mama

Vote Mama builds the political power of moms.

Vote Mama Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, is the leading source of research and analysis on the political participation of moms. We are normalizing moms running for office and building a political system that is truly family-friendly.

Vote Mama Lobby, a 501(c)(4) organization, advocates to break the structural barriers moms face running for and serving in elected office, and mobilizes fed-up mamas to build their political power, elect moms, and pass truly family-friendly legislation.

Vote Mama PAC is the first PAC in the country dedicated to supporting Democratic moms. Through endorsements and financial support, we elect moms up and down the ballot and across the country.

About the Role

The Senior Director of Development joins Vote Mama at an exciting moment in the organization’s history. Since its inception five years ago, Vote Mama has grown revenue annually and built a strong base of early supporters. Now, we recognize the need to diversify and expand our funding base to sustain and fuel future growth.

Vote Mama seeks a seasoned, strategic, and mission-driven Senior Director of Development to build on a strong foundation laid by the existing Development team, and oversee a comprehensive fundraising strategy for Vote Mama PAC, Vote Mama Foundation (501(c)(3)), and Vote Mama Lobby (501(c)(4)). As part of their role, the Senior Development Director will be responsible for revenue generation across Vote Mama, including personally managing a major donor portfolio, partnering with the COO to manage the institutional portfolio, and supporting staff to successfully lead their existing portfolios, including but not limited to individual donors, Mama Fund giving circles program, events, and email fundraising.

The Senior Development Director reports to the Chief Operating Officer and works closely with the CEO, staff, and Vote Mama’s Board of Directors to meet our fundraising goals. The Senior Director is also charged with managing the Individual Giving Director and the Development Operations Manager.

This role is responsible for designing and executing high-impact fundraising strategies, including donor acquisition, cultivation, and stewardship, and expanding revenue across multiple channels (individual, institutional, corporate, and mission-aligned donors), with a particular focus on HNW individual and political donors. We’re seeking someone who thrives in high-visibility, high-stakes environments, brings deep knowledge of the political fundraising landscape, and is excited to lead the charge in diversifying and growing our donor base.
