New York, New York, United States Brennan Center for Justice Full time

The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the systems of democracy and justice in the United States. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. Among our core priorities, we fight to protect voting rights, end mass incarceration, strengthen checks and balances, and preserve constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.
Position Overview
The Associate Director, Philanthropic Partnerships will serve as a fundraising leader for the Brennan Center and its Development team, which is charged with securing approximately $40 million annually from a diverse base of individual and institutional supporters.
As our first-ever position focused principally on raising funds from new donors, the Associate Director will be one of the Center's lead prospecting strategist and a central player in cross-organization efforts to grow annual fundraising, with particular focus on major giving from individuals and families.
One major responsibility will be to significantly enhance and expand the Center's partnership and networking opportunities by ensuring robust presence in key donor communities and organizing spaces. The role also will work collaboratively across the team and organization to spearhead special initiatives and events to attract and strengthen relations with prospective funders, while also personally managing a portfolio of donors with high networking potential.
The Associate Director will directly report to the Vice President, Development and work under the guidance of the Managing Director, Development (who spearheads major donor giving). The position will regularly partner with and advise organizational and program leadership, including the Center's President and CEO, and will collaborate regularly with an 18-person Development team that includes major gifts fundraisers and support staff.
Note: Brennan Center employees adhere to a hybrid schedule that is subject to change, with employees currently required to work in the office a minimum of three days per week, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. While most employees follow this in-person schedule, there may be some positions that require additional in-office days. This position is based at our headquarters in New York City. It will require occasional travel.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Grow fundraising opportunities by developing and leading comprehensive efforts to identify and engage donors who do not currently support the Center
  • Implement tailored strategies to maximize exposure to potential supporters, including by ensuring the Center's robust participation and partnership with key philanthropic communities and networking spaces
  • Manage, cultivate, and steward a portfolio of donor networks and philanthropic influencers often in collaboration with organizational leadership, program experts, and other fundraising staff
  • Partner with Development teams to conceive, design, and implement special initiatives and events to attract new support, including efforts to further diversify our funding base
  • Prepare and advise organizational leadership and staff before donor meetings, including by overseeing and producing written meeting prep
  • Secure funding from and steward a small portfolio (around of high-value funding prospects while identifying prospects for other fundraising staff to cultivate
  • Provide strategic and operational guidance to strengthen prospecting and networking efforts led by the major, mid-level, and institutional giving teams
  • Work proactively with others to create tailored fundraising opportunities and campaigns to be leveraged across Development channels (e.g., interviewing program staff to draft an initial case for support for a new project area)
  • Draft and edit a variety of compelling fundraising materials
  • Supervise support staff and interns in the production of research and other materials
  • Guide the development of database systems and infrastructure to support successful prospect management

Key Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required, and at least 7-10 years of on-point experience
  • Successful track record of raising five-, six-, and seven-figure gifts and/or building similar partnerships with individual donors on behalf of public interest causes
  • Demonstrated skill and experience in devising and applying prospecting strategies to secure funding from new donors
  • Proven competence in absorbing complex legal and policy issues and translating them into persuasive, donor-friendly communications – both orally and in writing
  • Awareness of the U.S. philanthropic sector; knowledge of and experience with funders who focus on democracy and justice or related issues is a plus
  • Excellent writing/editing skills and ability to tailor products to fit donor interest
  • Entrepreneurial and strategic mindset; a passion for building partnerships and support
  • Works productively with colleagues at all levels, including executive leadership
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment with tight timelines and competing deadlines
  • Generous team player able to productively give and receive direction and feedback
  • Demonstrable commitment to the twin ideals of democracy and justice for all
  • Reliable discretion to strictly maintain privacy and confidentiality
  • Proficiency in CRM databases (Salesforce preferred) and other essential office technology
