FAMILY HOUSE
Chief Development Officer
About Family House
Founded in 1981, Family House provides critical support to families of children who have cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and are receiving treatment at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Serving more than 4,500 guests per year, the Mission Bay location is a quick walk from the hospital, accommodates 250 people per night and sustains nearly a 100% occupancy rate. Far more than just free, temporary housing, Family House is truly a home away from home and a beacon of the San Francisco community.
Made possible by an ambitious and highly successful capital campaign, the Nancy & Stephen Grand Family House opened its doors in May of 2016. This impressive facility includes not only state-of-the-art amenities at no cost, but also features a wonderfully supportive community of people dedicated to providing a caring environment for the entire family while their child is undergoing treatment.
Together, the staff at Family House are partners with our Board of Directors, volunteers and community offering care, compassion, sanctuary and community so that families naturally connect and find hope, comfort, and healing each day. Within this home away from home for the families we serve, we foster a work environment grounded in trust, respect, integrity and kindness, supporting each other to meet and exceed our individual and organizational goals.
Family House has experienced tremendous growth, both in terms of revenue and reputation, and enjoys broad support throughout the Bay Area community. Family House now seeks a passionate, experienced development professional to join its leadership team, build on the community’s goodwill, and increase the positive impact made in support of its mission.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced development professional to capitalize on the success of the recent capital campaign, join a strong team with unquestionable dedication to mission, and personally interact with a deeply engaged volunteer and donor network. Family House’s annual operating budget is approximately $5.5M, with approximately $4.3M generously given through philanthropy.
The successful candidate will bring a creative, strategic, and energetic approach to development and can help define the next chapter of Family House’s growth as we approach our 10ᵗʰ Anniversary in Mission Bay.
Job Summary
The Chief Development Officer will forge new relationships to build Family House’s financial resources, visibility and impact. In addition, they will be responsible for the design and implementation of a comprehensive fund development plan for creating a diverse revenue stream from key external alliances, including individual, corporate, foundation and other philanthropic support.
They will be primarily responsible for the expansion and diversification of Family House’s donor base/pipeline, securing funding for annual operations, capital improvements and the Fund for the Future Campaign.
