The Claremont Institute ("Institute") is a think tank that teaches, writes, and litigates. Since our founding in 1979, our strategy has been to teach the principles of the American Founding to the future thinkers and statesmen of America. The mission of the Claremont Institute is to restore the principles of the American Founding to their rightful, preeminent authority in our national life.
The Claremont Institute is continuing an ambitious new chapter of growth. Vital to that growth will be the diligent work of our growing fundraising team. We're seeking a Director of Major Gifts based on the East Coast.

With a personal focus on major gifts and growing the organization's fundraising capacity, the successful candidate will help strengthen existing relationships and forge new ones to build the visibility, impact, and financial resources of the Institute. The Director of Major Gifts will establish and implement the infrastructure and practices needed to meet and expand their goals by soliciting major gifts (primarily from individuals), assisting with foundation outreach, and attending special events that generate revenue and donor interest.

Communicate well and in accessible language that will encourage donors to support key programs and projects.
Support the development team in preparing communications and marketing materials, designing meeting content, and coordinating activities with program colleagues.
Use Salesforce database to document moves-management process and provide accurate relationship status and financial projections for the portfolio.
Engage donors and prospects at events, provide follow up with them, and develop a cultivation and solicitation plan.
Attributes & Skills:
Agreement with and enthusiastic dedication to the mission of the Claremont Institute.
Familiarity and comfort with a collegial and fairly flat senior management hierarchy.
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills. Adept at personal communication, public speaking, and effective writing, including use of Microsoft Office Suite (proficient email and phone skills, Excel and Word, knowledge of data base such as Salesforce.)

A high level of emotional intelligence with a strong degree of self-awareness.
High initiative with the ability to work independently, as well as part of a team.
Qualifications:
Five years of experience as a Major Gifts Officer or Director of Major Gifts is preferred. Experience at a $10MM-$20MM non-profit organization is preferred.
