The posting

The Director of Organization Giving is primarily responsible for leading the strategy to cultivate, steward, and grow relationships with private, corporate, and family foundations, as well as churches and businesses. This role develops and executes a comprehensive organizational giving strategy to expand strategic generosity partnerships and increase financial support for the mission. The Director collaborates with Development leadership and cross-functional teams to identify compelling giving opportunities, invite financial investment, communicate giving impact, and strengthen long-term relationships with organizational partners.

YouVersion was created by the local church in 2007 and remains a ministry of Life.Church today. At Life.Church, our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our team is committed to reaching people worldwide through innovative technology. And YouVersion is one of the ways we get to do that. Life.Church is a multi-site Christian church meeting in the United States and globally at Life.Church Online.

We wholeheartedly believe a daily rhythm of seeking intimacy with God has the power to transform lives. That’s why YouVersion creates biblically-based experiences that encourage and challenge people to seek God. We hope everyone in our community is on an active journey to become who God made them to be, abiding in Him, and drawing closer every day.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the strategic management and growth of a portfolio of approximately 20–40 foundations, developing individualized engagement strategies to strengthen partnerships and expand giving opportunities.
  • Identify and pursue mission-aligned foundations and organizations, developing strategic opportunities that invite them into meaningful partnerships with YouVersion.
  • Evaluate philanthropic trends, foundation priorities, and funding landscapes to inform organizational giving strategy and identify new partnership opportunities.
  • Build long-term, trust-based partnerships with foundation officers, trustees, and key stakeholders, ensuring they feel known, spiritually encouraged, and connected to the impact of their giving.
  • Conduct and maintain consistent, meaningful engagement with existing foundation partners through personalized communication, meetings, and other relational touch points.
  • Represent YouVersion's vision and organizational giving opportunities at foundation gatherings, conferences, and YouVersion-specific donor events.
  • In addition to relational touch points, provide professional updates on strategic KPIs, impact metrics, and future vision to organizational partners.
  • Lead the full grant lifecycle for organizational partners, including identification, cultivation, proposal development, submission, reporting, and renewal.
  • Oversee the tracking and evaluation of the foundation giving activity within the CRM to ensure accountability and measurable growth.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to identify and develop strategic giving opportunities that attract new foundation partners and strengthen existing relationships.

Skills Needed to Succeed

  • Ability to self-motivate, make independent decisions, and solve problems with innovation.
  • Effective at multi-tasking and time management to meet strict deadlines while remaining flexible and open to change.
  • Excellent verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
  • Effective at process and organizational management to coordinate, structure, and provide vision to projects.
  • Strong relational skills with the ability to build authentic, long-term partnerships.
  • Ability to navigate foundation giving vehicles, including grants, appreciated securities, donor-advised funds (DAFs), and planned giving, to develop effective giving partnerships.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, philanthropy, or a related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience in foundation relations, grant writing, or major gifts fundraising in faith-based nonprofit environments.
  • Experience with nonprofit financial structures, including program budgeting, restricted and unrestricted funding, and impact measurement.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
