Description
NEPM enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives.
About Us
At New England Public Media, we aspire to be the hometown station for western Massachusetts. Based in Springfield, NEPM's mission is to enrich lives across the four counties and beyond through programming that nurtures community, civility, and curiosity. Our current programming is as compelling and diverse as the region we serve: public radio and TV services, a 24-7 classical channel, jazz shows, education programs, live events, podcasts and more. We believe that our commitment to quality journalism will strengthen community connections at home, across the Commonwealth, and throughout New England.
About the Role
The Senior Director of Development is responsible for the overall fundraising strategy and program planning for major gifts, annual funds, mid-level giving, membership, pledge drives, planned giving, and capital campaign(s).
You will plan and implement a comprehensive development program that is built with a focus on accountability and continuous improvement, highly organized, data-driven, and collaborative.
While you will often represent NEPM in the community, you will also be expected to nurture a workplace culture that leverages the full potential and diversity of the department's staff, helping them thrive professionally as we make progress toward our fundraising goals.
Your vision on how we can reach our fundraising goals will inspire a culture of philanthropy across the entire organization.
About You
You are an experienced fundraiser with a successful track record, preferably within a membership-focused nonprofit organization, along with a demonstrated ability in soliciting major gifts at increasing levels for the organization.
You're an exceptional listener who can provide the leadership, feedback, and resources that are necessary for our staff's success.
You've managed diverse teams to help them achieve their best work and celebrated their wins. You're a champion of diversity, equity and inclusion in the work and at the workplace. You're fully committed to the need for quality, trustworthy journalism in a healthy democracy. You have a palpable passion for seeing western Massachusetts thrive and can inspire others to support that vision.
