Director of Major Gifts

Earthjustice seeks a highly skilled strategist, manager, and fundraiser to serve as Director of Major Gifts, working from our headquarters in San Francisco. The Director serves as a key member of the Development departmental leadership team to support a collaborative, holistic and cohesive fundraising environment, working directly with colleagues on joint strategies from planned gifts to donor relations.

The Director of Major Gifts leads a growing and geographically dispersed team of eight and collaborates closely with a deputy director and two senior development officers on major gifts strategy. The Director is responsible for overall strategic leadership and management of a nation-wide major gifts program of individuals and family foundations, and is charged with growing support from donors and prospects capable of gifts from $25,000 to over $1 million to meet Earthjustice’s resource goals. The Major Gifts program currently raises over $20 million annually, and Earthjustice is evaluating the possibility of a multi-year fundraising campaign to grow and strengthen this major donor group.
