Team Overview

As the Senior Director of Foundation Partnerships, you will report to the VP of Development and set portfolio strategy, carry top tier relationships, broker access across ADF so the whole team can reach funders it could not reach alone, and lastly, coach and lead the Foundation Partnership team, holding the pipeline accountable upward to the SVP of Development. This is a vital role within the Development team as we look to grow the organization and further our mission.

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio Strategy:

  • Create and execute a multi-year growth strategy for the Foundation Partnerships team, in concert with the multi-year strategic vision for organizational revenue growth.
  • Systematize mining, screening, rating, and qualifying of prospective foundations, and keep the tiering current as relationships move.
  • Own the foundation forecast reported to the SVP of Development, including accurate activity and pipeline reporting and revenue forecasts.
  • Meet or exceed annual foundation revenue goals, including the $10M+ goal for lead and principal gifts from foundation relationships across the team.
  • Determine KPIs for the team and ensure accountability to those metrics.

Owned Portfolio:

  • Personally steward a portfolio of approximately 10–20 top-tier foundation relationships: the most closed (foundations currently giving on a grant cycle) discretion-sensitive funders that open only to a peer.
  • Lead six- and seven-figure conversations and closings within that portfolio, helping Ministry Friends accomplish their philanthropic goals by finding alignment with ADF’s mission.

Internal and External Relationship Building

  • Convert ADF’s institutional relationships (principals, board, allies, program leaders, and senior staff) into access for the whole Foundation Partnerships team.
  • Routinely engage organization executives and current ministry friends in peer-prospect identification, visits, and six- and seven-figure closings.
  • Establish strong, mutually beneficial relationships with alliance partners and organizations.

Coaching and Leading:

  • Develop the team’s ability to build relationships, navigate alignment vetting, and advance foundations through the pipeline.
  • Coach and develop emerging fundraising talent among ADF staff and team, and provide spiritual encouragement and mentoring of others.
  • Meet regularly with your Team Members to discuss their progress and complete performance reviews.
  • Approve PTO requests, timecards, and expense reports.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 7+ years of fundraising experience with proven success closing six and seven-figure gifts.
  • 5+ years of management experience.
  • Understanding of budgets as they relate to proposals and grants.
  • Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong computer skills: M.S. Office Word, Excel, Outlook, Salesforce.
  • Strong self-motivation and initiative.
  • Ability to travel up to 40 nights per year.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
