Leading a small team, the Senior Director will be an experienced coach and mentor and will bring an understanding of direct marketing to support their direct reports as they develop and grow in their roles.

Key Duties and responsibilities

With the President and the Director of Foundation Operations, establish the vision, strategic direction and annual business planning for the TFS Foundation. Develop an integrated fundraising strategy that include major gifts, leadership and annual giving, stewardship, recognition, as well as cultivation and stewardship events and activities relevant to these areas. Set and achieve annual and long-term goals, identifying resource requirements including staffing, developing and meeting budgets and setting expectations, and managing the performance of direct reports.

Support committees of the TFS Foundation Board, mini-campaign committees and other volunteers. Represent the TFS Foundation on internal TFS committees. Ensure the Head of School and other members of academic leadership are briefed, coached and supported in their work on behalf of the TFS Foundation.

Major Gifts and Campaign

In collaboration with the President, continue to develop and execute the comprehensive campaign with a focus on individual major gifts. Develop strategies to support the full gift cycle from prospect identification and research, through cultivation, solicitation, recognition and stewardship. Support the prospect management and major gift activity of the Foundation President and members of the Board of Directors. Manage a pool of major gift prospects with a revenue target in the $1M range, actively cultivating and soliciting gifts. Develop programs that support a premier donor experience. Collaborate with school leadership to define, identify and communicate funding priorities. Oversee the management and analysis of the prospect and donor pipeline to ensure strategic prospect management and the development of performance projections, assigning prospects to direct reports and volunteers. Act as a key fundraising partner to volunteers and committees; track volunteer involvement in fundraising; ensure committees and volunteers receive a proper and fulsome orientation, and are coached and supported, providing all the tools necessary to perform their duties. Develop and communicate sophisticated individual donor gifting strategies, including planned giving options and gifts of assets other than cash, for high-net-worth donors. Work with the Foundation Operations team to develop all collateral and systems to support major gifts and campaign activities, and report on individual and team performance.

Annual Giving

Develop programs to identify, solicit and steward lead annual donors. Develop and support peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, as required, in alignment with annual strategies. Conduct ongoing analysis to inform the development of strategies, and individual and team performance. Ensure systems are in place to support creative solicitation tactics.

Stewardship and Recognition

Lead the development of stewardship and recognition programs and activities in support of all fundraising programs, including individual donor stewardship strategies, the development of naming and plaquing recognition programs, stewardship matrices and stewardship events. Ensure that gift agreements capture the intent, commitments and obligations of the donor, as well as those of the School and the TFS Foundation.

Prospect Research and Operations

Act as a champion, leading by example, to ensure that all prospect records are kept current, complete and accurate. Ensure that appropriate supports and systems are in place for all fundraising programs, including donor analytics.
