Campaign to Create Tomorrow
already has overwhelming community support. Our team of fundraisers have raised $318m since launching the campaign 4 years ago, which includes some of the largest-ever donations in our city’s history .
“I came from the private sector and was lacking fulfillment. My job was focused on the bottom-line – to make money for a corporation. The Foundation was a welcome change. I connect with the cause, and my work actually matters.”
In this position, you will:
Conduct research on prospective supporters with the goal of strengthening the Foundation’s understanding of the donor, their interests, and their capacity.
Provide management with accurate historical records of the Foundation’s relationship with a donor, as well as future plans.
Coordinate development efforts and prospects through the development cycle.
Provide data to inform the performance measurement program associated with the Foundation’s prospect management system.
Maintain, monitor, and ensure the continuing operation of the prospect management system at the direction of the Manager, Research and Prospect Management.
Support information management, through maintaining centralized records for the Prospect Research function (e.g., tracking system for managing requests); ensuring coding in donor database is consistent with research outcomes and information gleaned; supporting project management and KPI coding for the Philanthropy team; and ensuring policies and procedures are uniformly understood and adhered to within the Foundation.
Work collaboratively and strategically with all members of the Foundation staff, fundraising volunteers, physicians, and other Hospital personnel (where appropriate) to achieve goals.
Develop a thorough understanding of the redevelopment, research, educational, clinical, and financial needs and goals for approved Hospital fundraising priorities.
Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Excellent computer skills and proficiency in analyzing data within a complex Relationship Management database. Preference will be given to candidates with database (Raiser’s Edge/Blackbaud) and SharePoint experience.
Strong working knowledge of word processing and advanced fluency in spreadsheet manipulation.
Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to self-motivate and handle multiple and competing projects under minimal supervision.
Experience coordinating projects from beginning to end with multiple collaborators or suppliers.
Tact, diplomacy, and maturity in dealing with partners, including donors, volunteers, colleagues, and the general public, with exceptional interpersonal and relationship building skills.
Team player with the ability to always maintain a positive attitude and strong “get-the-job-done” work ethic.
Proven training and coaching skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with a team and with colleagues to achieve specific goals.
Desire to develop more experience in fundraising and commitment to upgrading credentials and professional affiliations.
Undergraduate degree or diploma in library sciences, liberal arts, information management, business, or a related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
