Experience Theatre Project (ETP) is a growing 501c3 nonprofit immersive theater company based in beautiful Beaverton, Oregon, with a mission to produce beautiful, professional live theater performance and enhance artistic creativity within our community. Our company is currently working to create a community-based theatre collective in Washington County to provide a library and work space where artists may work, build, congregate, and present their own brand of visual and performing arts.
As Director of Development, you will own the fundraising strategy for our growing organization, including budget management and grant writing, and work closely with our Managing Director to develop a plan to fund the lease or purchase of a space that can be used as an arts hub. The Director will maintain and build a portfolio of top foundation and corporate prospects that are critical to the ETP’s mission and fundraising goals. You will also conduct funding research to determine new opportunities for ETP, and identify sources of philanthropic donations and corporate sponsorships.
You should be a great storyteller and be able to champion ETP’s mission. This role will require a succinct and clear communication of ETP’s narrative impact strategy tactics, which blends the desire to create immersive theatre (our mission) with affording a space lifting the boats of other individual artists and artistic groups who need a space in which to work.
