ABOUT THE GREAT PLAINS INSTITUTE

A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, the Great Plains Institute (GPI) is accelerating the transition to net-zero carbon emissions for the benefit of people, the economy, and the environment. Increased demand for GPI's unique blend of energy expertise and consensus-derived solutions has driven organizational and programmatic growth. With headquarters in Minnesota, GPI's operations are national in scope while retaining a core competency in the Midcontinent region. GPI is powered by more than 50 professionals and is supported by some of the nation's most respected philanthropies.

The following values inform the way we work both inside and outside of GPI. It is important to us to be trusted, inclusive, equitable, pragmatic, and transformative:

Trusted. We base our approach and actions on trust, mutual respect, and accountability.

Inclusive. We achieve impact through inclusive and deliberate collaboration with a diversity of interests.

Equitable. We strive for equity in our approach and outcomes.

Pragmatic. We take a clear-eyed view of the world as it is, even as we seek to improve it.

Transformative. We are a bold and passionate catalyst for change.

THIS POSITION

The Development Manager will play a proactive and strategic role in managing, coordinating, and supporting GPI's development and fundraising efforts to advance our mission. A core responsibility of this role is to systematize and optimize GPI's fundraising processes to make the highest and best use of each colleague's time and talents. The job will include prospecting, cultivating, and helping secure grants and donations from foundations, governments, corporations, and individuals, guided by GPI's strategic plan. The Development Manager will be responsible for working with program staff, the EVP, and CEO to identify funding priorities, research and evaluate potential funders, identify key relationships for GPI's CEO, EVP, and program staff to develop, help synthesize and write compelling grant proposals, and manage the proposal development and submission process. The job also entails coordinating with Communications and Finance & Administration colleagues to ensure appropriate tracking, reporting and funder stewardship.

The successful candidate will be experienced, highly collaborative and expected to work both independently and with colleagues as needed. The ideal candidate will bring experience and a track record of fundraising success in the clean energy/climate nonprofit sector, and the ability to translate that experience to a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Hours may be flexible and are typically Monday through Friday during the business day. Work may take place remotely and/or at GPI's headquarters in Minneapolis depending on the needs of the work and the successful candidate. GPI is committed to building a diverse staff and strongly encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply.

Funder Prospecting Research:
  • Support program VPs and managers in prospecting to match potential funders with program priorities, with an emphasis on foundations, government grants, corporations, and individuals
  • Provide program Teams with profiles of qualified funders and coordinate outreach across teams where a prospective funder may be interested in more than one GPI area of work.
  • Work with Finance & Administration colleagues to ensure that these written funder summaries are accurately recorded and tracked in GPI's CRM.
Funder Cultivation
  • Support and sometimes lead the funder cultivation process, depending on the funder
  • Help identify the right program officer(s) with whom GPI staff and CEO should develop relationships.
  • Develop agendas for and lead monthly Fundraising Team meetings
  • Help produce compelling grant proposals, coordinating the proposal development process and engaging program colleagues when their content expertise is required.
  • Work with the Finance Team to ensure that grant proposal budgets and other materials are developed for timely submission of grant proposals and grant reports.
  • Work with Program colleagues, the CFO, EVP, and CEO to systematize the grant-seeking process.
Funder Stewardship
  • Ensure, and track, appropriate acknowledgement once grants and donations are made
  • Develop and maintain a calendar of grant-making cycles by funder
  • Manage annual grants calendar, including timely actions to secure funds and communicate with funders.
  • Write, maintain, and regularly update a catalog of short program and project descriptions, in coordination with Communications, which can be inserted into grants and other materials as needed.
  • Work with Program and Communications colleagues to regularly summarize program accomplishments for sharing with funders, demonstrating the impact of GPI's work.
Grant Tracking and Reporting:
  • Work with Finance & Administration and Program colleagues to ensure that GPI is recording and tracking appropriately throughout the fundraising process, including proposals in process, submitted, awarded, and declined.
  • Ensure that appropriate colleagues are notified about upcoming reporting deadlines, and coordinate grant reporting process
  • Work with staff to ensure that GPI is maintaining meticulous historical records including up-to-date contact information for funders
  • Work with staff to organize and report relevant data for GPI's annual "Impact Report."
