About AAPF
Founded in 1996, The African American Policy Forum (AAPF) is an innovative think tank that connects academics, activists, and policy-makers to promote efforts to dismantle structural inequality. We utilize new ideas and innovative perspectives to transform public discourse and policy. We promote frameworks and strategies that address a vision of racial justice that embraces the intersections of race, gender, class, and the array of barriers that disempower those who are marginalized in society. AAPF is dedicated to advancing and expanding racial justice, gender equality, and the indivisibility of all human rights, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Duties and Responsibilities include:
- Strategic Planning: The Director of Development will participate with the management team in developing and implementing AAPF’s strategic and operational plans, providing insight into funder and donor needs and expectations. The Development Director will work closely with the Executive Director, Director of Finance, and Chief of Staff to develop plans for long-term financial sustainability.
- Fundraising Planning and Implementation: As the senior fundraising manager, the Director of Development is responsible for preparing and implementing an annual fundraising plan, including projections, timetables, and deliverables, that will detail how AAPF will meet its philanthropic fundraising goals.
- Grants: The Director of Development will manage and build AAPF’s portfolio of family foundation, corporate, and government grants, taking the lead in the writing of grant proposals and developing event opportunities.
- Individual Giving and Major Donor Program: The Director of Development will research and identify prospective new donors, including potential sponsors of individual AAPF programs and campaigns, and collaborate with the Chief of Staff and Executive Director in maintaining communications with current and prospective donors and sponsors.
- Events Management: The Director of Development will assist in the execution of crucial fundraising events coordinating all aspects of the events and activities from planning to execution.
- Reporting: The Director of Development will prepare AAPF’s annual report, all grant reports, and financial reports to donors; maintain a grants schedule on progress; keep the donor management system updated; and periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the fundraising program.
- Board Engagement: The Director of Development will work closely with the Board of Directors to engage them in fundraising.
- Programs and Campaigns: The Director of Development will collaborate with the management team and program team leaders to provide a development perspective on content, timelines, and milestones for AAPF’s programs and campaigns.
- Communications and Marketing: The Director of Development will collaborate with AAPF’s communications team in representing AAPF in philanthropic spaces and in providing content for social media, the website, e-newsletters, print materials, event facilitation, and press outreach.
The Ideal Candidate should have:
- Strong organizational skills and ability to “follow through” on multiple tasks and goals
