Manager, Community Relations – THE FARLEY FOUNDATION

The Foundation has set ambitious goals over the next four years, namely, to double its impact, from roughly 1,000 pets helped per year, to 2,000 annually. Likewise, to accomplish this, the Foundation is building on its outreach to double its fundraising from roughly $1m per year to $2m in the same period. Reporting to the Executive Director, the Manager of Community Relations will play a critical role in expanding thus fundraising capacity by creating and executing on new fundraising, stewardship, and planned giving initiatives, while also proactively identifying opportunities in the community to promote the foundation.

The Farley Foundation has adopted a hybrid work policy that allows team members flexibility in choosing their work location based on role and responsibilities. Staff are currently primarily working from home, and in the Milton office one day per week, at this time. This arrangement is evolving based on public health conditions.

Stewardship

  • As part of the fundraising strategy, applying industry best practices, the Manager, Community Relations will establish a foundation-specific stewardship strategy: By leveraging the foundation’s 20+ year track record in fundraising, the Manager will build relationships with previous donors, aiming to build fundraising capacity while creating strong relationships.
  • This work includes establishment and execution of the stewardship program, with support from the Coordinator, Finance and Donor Relations and Executive Director, as required.

Planned Giving and Administration

  • The Manager, Community Relations will build on the foundation’s strong track record in the planned giving sector by leveraging the organic growth in previous planned giving by creating and executing on a new planned giving program.
  • This could include building relationships in estate planning and legal sectors, while building on relationships with historic foundation supporters, as well as continued collaboration and relationship building with those who have pledged to support the foundation in the future.
  • The Manager will oversee the receipt of planned gifts, including overseeing the proper process to acknowledge gifts, etc.
  • As a small team’s needs change, the Manager supports foundation-wide staff on all initiatives as needed, including vacation and other coverage, specifically prioritizing continued granting through vacation coverage, events support and other timely functions.
