    Director of Philanthropy - Lexington, United States - Access Philanthropy

    Default job background
    Description
    Director of Philanthropy

    Temple Isaiah, a thriving Reform Judaism congregation in
    Lexington, Massachusetts, seeks a Director of Philanthropy to join
    our senior leadership team. With more than 750 households from
    Lexington and surrounding communities, Temple Isaiah is an
    innovative, relationship-centered congregation with a healthy
    endowment and a growing culture of philanthropic support among
    highly committed congregants.

    Temple Isaiah seeks an experienced philanthropic professional
    with a passion for nonprofit excellence. As a member of Temple
    Isaiah's senior leadership team, the Director of Philanthropy will
    create, execute, and evaluate all philanthropic strategies with a
    donor-centered philosophy to ensure a diverse and sustainable
    revenue portfolio in support of the temple's mission.

    This is an exciting time to join our team This past July,
    Temple Isaiah hired our new senior rabbi, a dynamic leader with
    deep and broad experience and the ability to, in short order,
    invigorate and inspire the Isaiah community. In addition, we
    recently completed a successful endowment campaign, where we raised
    over $10M in honor of the temple's former senior rabbi.

    Overall Responsibilities

    Reporting to the Executive Director, the Director of
    Philanthropy will work in close partnership with the Senior Staff,
    the VP Philanthropy, VP Finance and Board President, to build
    relationships and secure financial support through a combination of
    direct solicitation of congregant gifts, managing the annual fund,
    growing major gifts and continuing to build a culture of
    philanthropy across the congregation. Temple Isaiah is fortunate to
    have built a strong endowment over the years. Moving forward, the
    Director of Philanthropy will find new and creative ways to
    continue to engage those congregants who have supported us so
    generously over the years while attracting new donors.

    Deliverables

    This is a hands-on role for an ambitious, creative, and
    growth-oriented philanthropy professional who is ready and eager to
    plan, manage, and lead the execution of a dynamic and highly
    engaged synagogue's fundraising and philanthropic activities. The

    successful candidate will:
    Partner with lay leadership, the senior rabbi and the Director
    of Finance to translate the temple's financial needs into a short
    and long-term strategic philanthropic plan.

    Deliver the annual philanthropic goals as outlined in the
    annual operating plan and budget.

    Create a multi-level Case for Support.

    Increase congregants' financial literacy, helping them
    understand our need for both long-term endowment giving and
    short-term current use giving.

    Partner with staff and lay leaders to build a vision and
    strategy for the temple's upcoming capital campaigns.

    Prepare written proposals, gift agreements, and other documents
    to define, secure, steward, and document major gifts.

    Manage and coordinate cultivation and stewardship that includes
    one-on-one conversations, events, regular communications and
    reports, and other initiatives to engage and inform prospective
    donors.

    Work closely with, and support, clergy and lay leaders with
    their ongoing donor engagement and gift solicitations.

    Manage the gift acknowledgment process, ensuring timely and
    appropriate follow-up.

    Creatively direct and execute other philanthropic projects as
    opportunities arise.
