WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

We are looking for a seasoned fundraising professional to join the Individual Fundraising team as a Regional Philanthropy Officer. The ideal candidate is an experienced fundraiser who goes beyond traditional major gifts work and successfully builds and closes transformational philanthropic partnerships. This Officer will position Fort Worth based donors as strategic partners, aligning their philanthropic goals with the Red Cross mission to drive lasting impact.

The Officer will build a robust donor pipeline, develop customized engagement strategies aligned with donor interests, and mobilize philanthropic support—particularly during times of disaster response when urgency and mission alignment are critical.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required.
  • Minimum five years of sales and/or fundraising experience required.
