Job description
Together, we protect religious freedom, free speech, the sanctity of life, marriage and family, and parental rights. As the Senior Director of Foundation Partnerships, you will report to the VP of Development and set portfolio strategy, carry top tier relationships, broker access across ADF so the whole team can reach funders it could not reach alone, and lastly, coach and lead the Foundation Partnership team, holding the pipeline accountable upward to the SVP of Development. Create and execute a multi-year growth strategy for the Foundation Partnerships team, in concert with the multi-year strategic vision for organizational revenue growth.
Systematize mining, screening, rating, and qualifying of prospective foundations, and keep the tiering current as relationships move.
Own the foundation forecast reported to the SVP of Development, including accurate activity and pipeline reporting and revenue forecasts.
Meet or exceed annual foundation revenue goals, including the $10M+ goal for lead and principal gifts from foundation relationships across the team.
Personally steward a portfolio of approximately 10–20 top-tier foundation relationships: the most closed (foundations currently giving on a grant cycle) discretion-sensitive funders that open only to a peer.
Lead six- and seven-figure conversations and closings within that portfolio, helping Ministry Friends accomplish their philanthropic goals by finding alignment with ADF’s mission.
Internal and External Relationship Building
Convert ADF’s institutional relationships (principals, board, allies, program leaders, and senior staff) into access for the whole Foundation Partnerships team.
Develop the team’s ability to build relationships, navigate alignment vetting, and advance foundations through the pipeline.
Coach and develop emerging fundraising talent among ADF staff and team, and provide spiritual encouragement and mentoring of others.
Meet regularly with your Team Members to discuss their progress and complete performance reviews.
Understanding of budgets as they relate to proposals and grants.
~ Strong computer skills: Office Word, Excel, Outlook, Salesforce.
~ Ability to travel up to 40 nights per year.
Bachelors degree
Our benefits include 100% covered medical and dental insurance, medical and dependent care reimbursement, paid disability, long-term care, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan with a 4% company match. We prioritize work-life balance with paid time off and 12 paid holidays each year.
This range is a good-faith estimate, and the actual salary may vary based on the candidate’s experience, skills, qualifications, and office location.
