3 weeks ago
Take A Hike Foundation (Take a Hike) is seeking a Director, Individual Giving to become part of our Development Team. Take a Hike empowers youth who experience vulnerability to change the trajectory of their lives with a full-time mental health and emotional well-being program embedded in an alternate education classroom. Take a Hike engages youth with intentional, continuous clinical counselling, experiential land-based learning, and community. Our public school district partners provide high quality education, and together, we empower youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships, and achieve success – however they define it.
Reporting to the Senior Director, Development, the newly created Director, Individual Giving serves as an integral member of the organization and development leadership team, building a robust individual major gifts program to advance Take a Hike’s mission.
The incumbent will have experience working in or building a “best practice” individual giving program. Three key priorities will be to increase renewals and leverage increased giving, grow the pipeline of individual major donors, and institutionalize a planned giving program.
The Director, Individual Giving will join a Development Team that describes themselves as “passionate, hard-working, collaborative, respectful, and flexible”. This growth is due in large part to a deeply committed and growing community of private donors who believe in the youth Take a Hike serves and their success. Given this performance, coupled with internal plans (which focus on raising awareness of Take a Hike’s brand) and external trends around youth mental health, there is potential for significant, additional growth in individual mid- and major gifts revenue over the next years.
Capacity building is a strong priority for Take a Hike in order to achieve its strategic goals. In addition to a Director, Individual Giving, Take a Hike has recently hired a Senior Manager, Annual Giving to join the current team of nine and has plans to continue to expand the Development Team by four additional roles in the next 18 months.
Develop and execute a comprehensive fundraising strategy for an individual major and planned giving program grounded in best practices that influences individual donors, donor advised funds, estates, and family foundations.
