KCREP OVERVIEW

For over 60 years, Kansas City Repertory Theatre (KCRep) has been a source of inspiration to our nation's best artists and to so many Americans in Kansas City and beyond. KCRep is the city's largest professional/regional LORT theatre and we are in search of a Development Manager–Individual Giving to join our team.

Are you a skilled writer with a passion for people and the performing arts? Do you thrive on collaboration, pay close attention to detail, and find excitement in working alongside talented colleagues? We're seeking someone eager to help one of Kansas City's leading cultural institutions reach new heights—by inspiring and engaging both current and future generations of donors.

This role is perfect for someone who is flexible, enjoys building meaningful relationships, juggling multiple priorities with creativity and grace, and contributing to a team that takes pride in its work while bringing empathy, energy, and fun to work every day.

Working closely with Development colleagues to ensure a seamless donor journey, transitioning donors as they grow in their giving.
  • Create Compelling Appeals and Touchpoints: Working with teams across the company, gather compelling information to craft persuasive proposals, appeal campaigns, and other donor materials that inspire generosity, including digital campaigns, touchpoints, and stories of impact that strengthen donor loyalty and drive increased giving.

  • Develop a Prospect Pipeline: Research and analyze donor data to identify high-potential supporters, using giving history and behavioral insights to guide cultivation strategies.
