In this small but mighty fundraising shop, the person in this role needs to pivot often with sensitivity to our client families and donor needs. They must have very honed and specific skills to be able to broaden and diversify our funding streams—all designed to continue the agency legacy to be self-sustaining for the long term. This is the key. If you’ve worked with children with disabilities and special needs, that is a plus. You will have the freedom to design your own department from the ground up.

Special Skills

Someone who has been in a role as a Director of Fundraising in a nonprofit agency for 8-10 years, with a CFRE is preferred to someone with a singular corporate business development background. AFP members are encouraged to apply. The inner workings and nuances of a Fundraising Department are complex, and we need a go-getter who can really make a huge impact- but is not afraid to get out there, ask for funds ranging from $10K to $2 million (samples and examples will be needed), can utilize our CRM system to pull and gather data, grow programs and is willing to roll up their sleeves when needed to pitch in as a team member when warranted.

We have a family culture at Bryan’s House and our benefits package and matching program are awesome to reflect that.
