Summary of the Role

The successful candidate will bring sound judgment, emotional intelligence, strong communication skills, and a belief in the importance of investing in people, systems, relationships, and communications in order to increase long-term community impact.

Key Responsibilities

Fundraising Strategy and Relationship Management

The Director of Fund Development will develop and implement a multi-year fundraising strategy focused on sustainable and diversified revenue, with an emphasis on individual giving, major donor relationships, flexible funding, community partnerships, and long-term organizational sustainability.

The Director will lead and grow Tyndale’s major donor strategy, with a focus on deepening relationships with current supporters and identifying high-potential prospects. This includes identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding supporters; developing tailored proposals, reports, and communications; and supporting Board and Committee members in relationship-building and solicitation.

The Director will maintain accurate records, prospect notes, and pipeline tracking, and provide regular fundraising updates and analysis to support decision-making.

As needed, the Director will support the Executive Director and relevant staff with government funding opportunities, church partnerships, corporate and community partnerships, and other institutional or community-based funding relationships.

They will support colleagues, Board members, and volunteers in understanding their role in fundraising and stewardship, and contribute to a positive, respectful, and mission-driven workplace culture.
