Chicago, Illinois, United States Gads Hill Center Full time
Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Gads Hill Center in

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the Director of
Development will lead fundraising efforts and ensure the
achievement of fundraising goals for Gads Hill Center. With a
history of developing and implementing comprehensive fundraising
plans encompassing major gifts, corporate and foundation giving,
planned giving, and special events, the Director of Development
will identify and cultivate major gift prospects, corporate and
foundation donors, and execute special events that engage and
inspire the Gads Hill donor community. The Director of Development
will set ambitious goals, provide essential guidance, and ensure
exceptional performance of a dedicated fundraising team. By
developing compelling donor communications and recognition
programs, the Director of Development will craft targeted appeals
that drive donations and strengthen donor relationships.
Collaborating closely with the COO and Board of Directors, the
Director of Development will align fundraising strategies with Gads
Hill Center's mission, presenting plans and performance metrics to
ensure seamless integration with its strategic vision. Through
meticulous analysis of fundraising data and donor engagement, the
Director of Development will make informed, data-driven decisions
to elevate fundraising success and propel the Gad Hill mission
forward.

Gads Hill Center, a community based nonprofit social service
organization established in 1898, creates opportunities for
children and their families to build a better life through
education, access to resources, and community engagement. Since its
founding, Gads Hill Center has been supporting working families
through comprehensive programs and services that connect children
and families to resources that meet their educational, employment,
and health-related goals. Gads Hill Center works with more than
4,500 children across Chicago by providing high-quality accredited
programs and services in the areas of mental health, youth
services, children services, and family and community.

Gads Hill Center's children's programs bridge the gap by offering
research-based early childhood education with a bilingual and
culturally competent curriculum grounded in the framework of Head
Start and Early Head Start. Staff, including dedicated teachers,
clinicians, and family support workers, promote mental wellness for
the whole family by monitoring developmental milestones and
providing access to therapeutic services. Annually, 600 children
enroll in one of the early childhood education programs at Gads
Hill Center and are ready to succeed in pre-school upon program
completion.

Youth programs at Gads Hill Center provide a rigorous academic
support curriculum during out-of-school time that ensures students
of all ages perform at grade level or above and provides them with
the tools they need to achieve academic success through high school
graduation, college acceptance, and beyond. Programs are tailored
to fit each age group and anchored by research-based educational
curricula that emphasize science, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM). One hundred percent of the youth that attend the building
leaders program graduate from high school.

A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience and at least five years of experience in donor
development is preferred for this role. Familiarity with the
Chicago philanthropic landscape is a plus. Gads Hill Center will
