    Default job background
    Description


    Sportsmen's Alliance (SA) & Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation (SAF) play an integral role in supporting the conservation and hunting heritage efforts of all other like-minded groups.

    However, unlike other groups, this organization does not have a "critter" to rally around nor is it always able to anticipate and proactively pursue a defined conservation agenda with visible goals to bolster its funding.

    Indeed, SA & SAF serves more as a watchman at the gate, observing, documenting, and fighting to protect the freedoms and lifestyles so many in America highly value.


    In this context, the CEO is now seeking to draw a new organizational chart and create a structure that prioritizes the importance of major gifts fundraising while concurrently developing a national chapter system wherein membership will also be increased.

    In effect, after decades of organic growth and impact that was often behind the scenes, SA & SAF is now poised for professionalization and a greater national presence.

    Along with an increased brand presence and more robust national strategy, SA & SAF is seeking a highly driven, passionate, and unrelenting development professional to energize and focus its fundraising efforts.


    The new Director of Development will work collaboratively with the Executive Team, report to the CEO, and be an important voice in the future of the organization.

    The right person will be steeped in the values and culture of the sportsmen (and women) whose interests the organization represents.

    Equally important, this candidate must possess demonstrated skills and experience in major gift fundraising, preferably from within the sporting and outdoor community.


    Further, the personal characteristics that should define the new Director of Development include tenacity, energy, and an entrepreneurial spirit combined with flexibility and humility.

    This leader must be a player-coach who is ready to personally develop and manage a major donor file while also sitting at the leadership table and contributing strategically to the growth and future structure of the organization.

    Qualifications, Competencies, & Responsibilities


    Reporting to the President/CEO, the Director of Development will oversee and conduct all fundraising, cultivation, communications, and solicitation activities of the Sportsmen's Alliance and its Foundation.

    He/She will identify and develop relationships with mid-level to major-level individual donors, foundations, and corporations, enhancing success in soliciting financial support for Sportsmen's Alliance's projects and initiatives.

    He/She will communicate the organization's mission in a manner that will both broaden and deepen the relationships with the many people who have and will become personally involved in Sportsmen's Alliance and its Foundation.

    Appeals and receipt letters,
    Special information or solicitation materials as required,
    Member Magazine,
    Social Networking resources such as Facebook and Twitter


    Individual and Foundation Donors:

    Identify and activate new donors through networking, referrals, presentations, and prospecting events
    Design and execute annual plans to cultivate, solicit, and steward donors and prospects, being held accountable for donor engagement and revenue goals, and responsible for maintaining donor records and analysis of donor performance related to such things as retention, growth, upgrades, etc
    Perform donor and prospect research to identify potential new donors
    Work with the president, board members, and other staff to carry out donor responsibilities, including identifying prospects, arranging visits, and developing strategies for target amounts for asks
    Work directly with staff to design major donor programs; helping to identify major donor prospects, appropriate asks, systems to track donor engagement, and strategies to build a major donor network to meet revenue projections
    Provide stewardship for donors that will include facilitating the president and board members calling/writing to donors, preparing special personalized mailings, writing personalized thank you letters, making donor calls, and other development activities

    Work with the Membership team to achieve a seamless integration of major gift strategies with direct marketing and foundation approaches as appropriate.

    This includes sourcing new major donor prospects from our individual membership efforts


    Planned Giving:
    Identify, meet, cultivate, and solicit planned giving donors and prospects, coordinating as needed with the president, and other staff
    Work with staff to design and execute fundraising events from small receptions to large benefits; assist with creating revenue goals, identify prospective supporters, solicit donors, and design strategies for event follow-up
