Director of Corporate Philanthropy

AFMDA is a partner in the vital work Magen David Adom (MDA) does every day for Israel's 9.2 million population by funding a wide variety of emergency vehicles, a new national blood center, critically needed medical supplies, and rigorous EMT training. AFMDA is one of the fastest-growing Jewish nonprofit organizations in the US.
Magen David Adom is Israel's national ambulance, blood-services, and disaster-relief organization, as well as Israel's representative to the International Red Cross, providing a crucial link in the chain of survival for seriously injured or ill patients. MDA has 1,400 ambulances across the country and before the terrorist attaches of Oct 7, AFMDA deployed about 600 Medi-cycles and more than 10,000 first responders, arriving first to the scene of medical emergencies more than 91% of the time. AFMDA supports Magen David Adom's efforts to save lives in Israel with charitable donations from the United States. In the immediate aftermath of the October 7th attacks, Magen David Adom activated all 1,400 of its existing ambulances, as well as its Medicycles, helicopters, and all other vehicles. Since then, Magen David Adom EMTs and paramedics have been treating the wounded, while risking their lives to save the lives of others.
MDA is operating 24 hours a day, responding to all reported incidents and emergency calls across the entire country. Since October 7, MDA has treated 14,570 people. EMTs and paramedics are treating the injured on the scene, providing lifesaving treatment often in the midst of rocket attack and gunfire. They are also transporting patients to hospitals via ambulances and helicopter to receive further treatment when necessary.
MDA built a state-of-the-art underground National Blood Center to safeguard Israel's vital blood supply. It opened in 2022 with the dedication of the Marcus National Blood Services Center. Since the war began, MDA's blood services division has been supplying 100% of the blood needed by the IDF and is distributing blood units to all of Israel's hospitals, where injured civilians are being treated. In addition to using blood already in the blood bank, MDA is operating multiple blood drives across the country to ensure they have the consistent supply they will undoubtedly continue to require.
The blood center also includes a breast milk bank for which the organization received a $3M charitable gift. In response to the crisis, MDA's Sussman Family Foundation Human Milk Bank is increasing its supply of tested and processed breast milk for babies whose mothers have been killed, injured, kidnapped, or called to IDF reserve duty.

AFMDA is led by highly respected industry veteran Catherine Reed, CEO, a role she assumed in early 2020 after originally joining as CDO and leading the capital campaign efforts for the Marcus National Blood Services Center. Prior to joining AFMDA, Cathy held leadership positions with the 92nd Street Y in New York and Hadassah.
Pre-October 7th, AFMDA was a $65 million agency with the United States fundraising efforts divided into 4 regions. Last year AFMDA raised approximately $300M due to war time fundraising efforts which included a match from Michael Bloomberg and Bloomberg Philanthropies and emerging corporate funding. It is anticipated that going forward the agency will have a $60-100M annual budget.
The Northeast region of AFMDA raises the most of all regions, last year closing out at approximately $100M with half of that revenue representing institutional philanthropy which is an emerging revenue source for the organization. This newly created position reports directly into the Chief Executive Officer and will carry a significant portfolio representing $50M from corporate entities who gave 6 and 7 figure gifts in response to war time solicitations which included support from some of the large Fortune 500 companies largely based in NY.
The ideal candidate will be a seasoned development professional familiar with the NY corporate philanthropic landscape. He/she will possess an entrepreneurial disposition and will be enthusiastic to grow the corporate membership program in other key markets. The successful candidate will have a track record of success securing support and managing corporate relationships, particularly from key Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, this position is ideally suited for a candidate who possesses a strong passion for AFMDA's mission with knowledge of Israel and its culture. The successful candidate will form engagement and cultivation strategies for corporate donor acquisition to augment their portfolio. He or she will need to be a self-starter ready to proactively reach out to and engage with current and prospective corporate donors and has the ability to hit the ground running. Additionally, the successful candidate will have the seasoning and experience to segment, prioritize and steward a robust and growing donor portfolio. The successful candidate will be a team player and possess confidence and drive.
The new DCP will have a tremendous opportunity to build upon the momentum already established and to be a part of this critical, meaningful work in a highly visible region for the organization.
