JOB OVERVIEW
Reporting to the Director of Development, the Associate Director will focus on engaging and soliciting individual donors ranging from the annual leadership level to the major gift level.

Key fundraising events will include an annual gala, year-round donor cultivation dinners, and Associate Board fundraising events.
Currently, Apex’s fundraising efforts with this population and these existing fundraising events result in $4M-$5M in annual revenue for the organization.
