    Description


    Are you a seasoned nonprofit leader with a keen sense for how the philanthropic landscape is shifting for cultural organizations? Do you love the work of relationship-building that connects diverse communities of support with creative projects and big-picture institutional vision? Maybe you're a geek about the potential of the institution-as-changemaker, eager to roll up your sleeves and help position the museum at the forefront of advances in the field.

    Certainly, you're no stranger to the power of one-on-one friendraising, affinity building, and donor cultivation.

    Join the team at the Weisman, and you'll be a part of a tight-knit, collaborative and interdepartmental crew — all working to bring an ethos of research and service, creative vision and collaboration, fueled by critical donor support, to the work of reimagining what a campus museum can be for, and do with, its communities.


    Reporting to the Director of the Weisman Art Museum (WAM)and the Vice President for Development, College and Campus Programs at the University of Minnesota Foundation (UMF), the Director of Development serves as the chief fundraising officer for all aspects of WAM.

    The person in this position is responsible for establishing an overall development strategy and implementing a fundraising and membership plan.
