• Partner closely with executive leadership, board members, and internal teams to foster a strong culture of philanthropy

The ideal candidate brings a combination of strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and strong relationship-building skills. This person understands how to connect mission to investment, inspire donor confidence, and translate community impact into meaningful engagement and long-term support.
