    Description

    The Queer Film Collective (QFC) is seeking a Director of Fundraising to lead and expand our development efforts as we continue to grow our impact within the LGBTQ+ film community.

    This role will be responsible for building and executing a comprehensive fundraising strategy that supports QFC’s programming, events, and long-term sustainability. The Director of Fundraising will work closely with leadership to identify and secure funding through a mix of individual donors, grants, corporate partnerships, and community-based campaigns.

    Key responsibilities include developing donor relationships, researching and applying for grants, creating and managing fundraising campaigns, and helping to shape the overall financial future of the organization. This is both a strategic and hands-on role, ideal for someone who is excited about building systems, thinking creatively about funding, and playing a key part in scaling a growing nonprofit.

    We are looking for someone who is deeply aligned with our mission, values community-driven work, and is passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ storytellers. Experience in nonprofit development, fundraising, or partnerships is strongly preferred, but we also welcome candidates who are eager to grow into the role.

    At this time, all QFC staff positions are volunteer-based. However, a core priority of this role is helping us build the financial infrastructure needed to transition these positions into salaried roles. The Director of Fundraising will play a direct and meaningful role in making that transition possible.

    This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of an organization at a pivotal stage of growth while making a tangible impact on the next generation of queer filmmakers.
