Grounded Solutions Network seeks Director of Development - $90k to $115k

Grounded Solutions Network is a national nonprofit dedicated to shaping communities to be inclusive and filled with opportunity for all. Where we live matters. It determines what opportunities we have and how our kids grow up. Everyone should be able to live in a place that offers opportunity: access to jobs, parks, public transit, quality schools and stable homes. Strong and inclusive communities provide the foundation that people and families need to thrive, both in the present and for future generations.  

We are seeking a dynamic, experienced Director of Development who is inspired by the opportunity to join our movement to advance housing justice at scale leading to more inclusive communities across the nation. This is a newly created position and an exciting opportunity for someone to help create and shape organizational fundraising culture.  For the past several months, we have been working with a consultant to assess our needs and create a strategic fundraising plan to sustain and grow an organization that currently raises $4 to $5 million in annual revenue. We are seeking a Director of Development, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, who will create and implement a comprehensive fundraising program to diversify and grow fundraising efforts. The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in non-profit fundraising operations, enjoy combining high-level strategy with hands-on implementation, be willing to “roll up their sleeves” to achieve measurable goals and be energized by the opportunity to serve as a public-facing representative to the organization.
