  • Create the annual operating plan for development activities of GPS and oversee their execution to ensure achievement of the School's philanthropic revenue goals.
  • Oversee the ongoing identification, research, assignment, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of all current and potential donors.
  • Continually seek new sources of philanthropic gifts, such as from new families or by reestablishing and strengthening relationships with alumnae and alumnae parents.
  • With the Director of Alumnae Relations, strengthen connections with alumnae and alumnae parents by developing multiple and varied avenues through which graduates and their families can engage with GPS and with each other.
  • With the Director of Special Events & Parent Engagement, foster a strong sense of community through special events and relationship building, and ensuring that all donors and volunteers feel valued and appreciated.
