New York City, United States Central Park Conservancy Full time

Title: Fundraising Manager – In-Park Recognition Programs

Reports to: Director of Women’s Committee Membership Programs

Department: Women’s Committee and Special Events

Status: Full-Time/Exempt

 

 

About the Central Park Conservancy

Central Park is one of the world's most famous and beloved public spaces. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux in 1858, the 843-acre Park was the country's first purpose-built public park and is a National Historic Landmark and a New York Scenic Landmark. The Central Park Conservancy, a private, not-for-profit organization, was founded in 1980 to rescue the Park, which had fallen into serious disrepair. Since then, the Conservancy has overseen the investment of over $1.5 billion in the restoration of the Park, which now hosts over 40 million visitors a year.

 

The Conservancy is one of the largest and most successful public private partnerships in New York City and is considered a major civic institution given its impact on the health and vibrancy of both the Park and the City.  The Conservancy’s mission is to preserve and celebrate Central Park as a sanctuary from urban life. The City of New York has formally entrusted the care of the Park to the Conservancy which is responsible for every aspect of its care, including landscape maintenance, capital improvements, and the visitor experience. The Conservancy employs roughly 400 people and has an annual operating budget of $100 million. 

 

 

Job Summary:

The Fundraising Manager will oversee three of the Women’s Committee’s most popular and profitable in-park recognition fundraising programs (subject to change); the Adopt-A-Bench program, Tree Trust program, and the Gilder Run paving stone program. The Fundraising Manager will serve as a frontline fundraiser who works directly with both first-time donors as well as longtime friends of the Conservancy to find their piece of the Park.

 

The Fundraising Manager will work with the dedicated Conservancy team to ensure the productivity, efficiency, and strategy of the programs, as well as with a Volunteer Committee who will help spread awareness of the work of the Conservancy and the special opportunities available through these programs.  The Fundraising Manager must be compassionate and sensitive to donor’s stories and situations and must be comfortable spending time with donors in Central Park.
