Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Ottawa Festival Network Full time $100,000 - $120,000 per year

About The Role
The Associate Director of Philanthropy is a key position that bridges our organization's work to audiences and the greater community

This role actively shapes and activates Ottawa Chamberfest's programs by cultivating donor, partner, and sponsor engagement. The Associate Director of Philanthropy secures donations, grants, and sponsorships though major donors, foundations, individuals, businesses, community organizations, and more. This role designs and leads a comprehensive donor and fundraising plan with short-term and long-term targets that strategically activate individuals, foundations, corporations, and community partners. The fundraising plan incorporates current assets while developing new properties. Revenue generation efforts directly support our multi-faceted, year-round operations including concert presentations (e.g., public, private, festival, concert series, fundraising events); and community programming for both children and adults, emerging artists, and vulnerable/isolated populations.

Internally, this role reports to the Executive Director with a strong thread to the Artistic Director. Together, this tri-vector of skills and experience both generate and deepen donor and philanthropic relationships. The Associate Director, specifically, is tasked to expand donor portfolios and match properties with donor interests.

Our next Associate Director of Philanthropy brings a combination of experience and knowledge about the arts sector/classical music and philanthropy/fundraising to support our mission. We look forward to reviewing applications from results-oriented individuals who have a proven track record and expertise as described below.

Les efforts de génération de revenus soutiennent directement toutes nos opérations, tout au long de l'année, notamment les concerts (par exemple, publics, privés, festivals, séries de concerts, événements de collecte de fonds) et les programmes communautaires destinés aux enfants et aux adultes, aux artistes émergents et aux populations vulnérables/isolées.

A l'interne, ce poste relève du Directeur général et entretient des liens étroits avec le Directeur artistique. Ce trio, avec ses compétences et son expérience, pourra à la fois générer et approfondir les relations avec les donateurs et les philanthropes. Le Gestionnaire est spécifiquement chargé d'étoffer le portefeuille de donateurs et de lier les divers programmes aux intérêts des donateurs.

About The Organization
A long-established pillar of Ottawa's music community with national and international reach, the Ottawa Chamber Music Society (OCMS), known publicly as Ottawa Chamberfest, is embarking on its 32nd year of operation in 2025/26. Founded in 1994, OCMS is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency. Our charitable organization presents year-round programming—including an annual summer music festival—inviting local, national, and international artists and audiences into beautiful acoustic spaces.

Under the artistic direction of violinist Carissa Klopoushak, our year-long programming encompasses a broad spectrum of traditional-to-contemporary chamber music for equally broad and dynamic audiences. We are committed to artistic excellence, innovative programming, community engagement, and inclusion through our three pillars of programming: our fall-winter Concert Series, our annual Summer Festival, and a full suite of Community Engagement and Education (CEE) programming, which makes music accessible to diverse audiences including children, emerging young artists, and isolated populations. Whether on stage, in the classroom, or on the streets, CEE changes lives through music. Organizationally, we are aligning our operations to meet this time of societal, and arts ecosystem change with wide-eyed enthusiasm and creativity.

Ottawa Chamberfest works to build a world where the rights, dignity, and worth of every human being is respected and celebrated; we value equity and diversity. The organization strives to create a climate that is respectful, safe, and inclusive – where all feel welcome and valued, and where all are supported to make their contribution.
