Position Title: Director of Philanthropy

We accomplish our mission through hallmark initiatives - Together in Holiness, Converging Roads, Clergy Initiatives. The Director of Philanthropy will be responsible for development and fundraising efforts with particular focus on cities outside of Houston where the Foundation mission is present.

Foundation's Philosophy of Philanthropy: We believe that prospective and current donors are persons who deserve to be treated as persons. We emphasize the importance of cultivation, an apostolate of friendship, and "becoming an expert in the humanity" of the donor. Donors and prospective donors deserve to encounter a development director committed to extending the right invitation at the right time to the right donor. Cultivation and extending invitations to prospective donors requires boldness, patience, and persistence. It is essential that development activities encourage, rather than discourage, care for the soul, growth in faith, and deepening of family and professional life of the donor. In addition, the Director agrees to teach, advocate, encourage, counsel, and witness in keeping with the beliefs and practices of the Catholic faith and teachings.

Major Duties:
  1. Communicate with, meet with, and invite financial support from individuals, foundations and corporations across the country
  2. Cultivate, invite, close, and steward new members for the Foundation's "Founders' Circle" major gift community of support
  3. Develop and maintain ongoing relationships with major donors in cities where the Foundation works outside of Houston
  4. Create and execute a strategy for a large sustained base of annual individual donors outside of Houston
  5. Research and identify qualified donors from current constituents and prospects
  6. Direct the research, creation, and submission of applications for grant funding and requests throughout the year outside of Houston
  7. Oversee and collaboratively grow the Foundation's "Legacy Circle" community of support
  8. Maintain a work schedule that maximizes availability to prospective donors, donors, and Foundation staff
  9. Collaboratively oversee Foundation donor database
  10. Use effective and appropriate supervision and management skills to maximize employee and volunteer morale and effectiveness
  11. Contribute to the professional environment and Catholic culture of the St. John Paul II Foundation
  12. Participate in staff meetings and other projects connected with the Foundation and perform other duties as assigned by the President


Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited university. Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in fundraising and/or transferable experience and skills in business development, sales, or financial advising.

  • Maintain a high level of professionalism in working with Church officials, staff, partners, and benefactors.
