Development Director Services

The issuing organization is seeking a vendor to provide development director services to drive and coordinate fundraising activities across the entity. The selected vendor will provide direction and leadership to the development team, supporting principal staff and board fundraisers in improving and expanding partnerships with foundations and family offices. The scope of work requires collaborating with executive and program teams to set annual and multi-year fundraising and campaign goals to meet revenue targets. The service provider must support internal fundraisers in their external relationships and communications with foundations, family offices, and other donors. The organization requires the vendor to provide research, materials, talking points, and other support to facilitate successful donor prospecting, cultivation, and asks by board and leadership staff. Additionally, the vendor must maintain organizational knowledge of key donors and prospects to ensure an effective, coordinated program of communications, stewardship, development, and opportunity leveraging. The chosen partner will prepare analyses and dashboards on fundraising activities to ensure that efficient processes and data guide organizational decisions. The organization also requires the development of systems and processes for coordinating development activities across teams, including stewardship and prospecting. Although the source document is formatted as a job posting rather than a traditional request for proposals, the organization is looking for proposals to fulfill these needs. Eligible vendors must be located onshore within the United States. The performance of the contracted work must take place onsite at the organization's location. Interested parties may submit their responses digitally via email or through an online submission portal.
