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 while supporting staff and board fundraisers in expanding partnerships with foundations and family offices. The organization needs to solve the problem of coordinating development activities across teams, which requires the creation of new systems and processes for stewardship and prospecting. The scope of work covers collaborating with the executive and program teams to establish annual and multi-year fundraising and campaign goals to meet revenue targets. The vendor must support fundraisers in external relationships, maintain organizational knowledge of key donors, and prepare analyses and dashboards to ensure data-driven decisions. Additionally, the vendor must provide research, materials, and talking points to prepare board and leadership staff for successful donor prospecting, cultivation, and asks. Eligibility rules restrict this opportunity to onshore vendors located in the United States. The organization requires the performance of the work to be completed onsite. Bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or through the online portal, and the organization is requesting proposals to determine the budget.
