The successful candidate is a collaborative executive who excels in complex multi-stakeholder environments, builds alignment without direct authority, and leads organizational transformation while respecting the unique identity of each Foundation.

  • Strengthen donor stewardship, prospect management, and fundraising effectiveness while enhancing the donor experience.
  • Lead the integration and optimization of fundraising operations, policies, systems, reporting, and performance measurement across all Foundations.
  • Identify and implement operational improvements, shared services, and system-wide efficiencies.
  • Foster collaboration among five independent Foundation Boards and executive leadership while respecting local community priorities.
  • Build strong relationships with donors, Foundation Boards, hospital leadership, community partners, and volunteers.
  • Serve as an executive advisor to multiple Boards and senior executives on philanthropy strategy, governance, and organizational priorities.
  • Champion a culture of collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and philanthropy throughout the organization.

  • Qualifications

    The successful candidate will possess:

    • 10–15 years of progressive senior leadership experience in philanthropy, preferably within healthcare or other complex not-for-profit organizations.
    • Demonstrated success leading or supporting large capital campaigns and developing sophisticated donor stewardship programs.
    • A strong understanding of the opportunities and challenges of philanthropic fundraising within rural and geographically dispersed communities.
    • Demonstrated ability to influence, build consensus, and drive results without direct authority across multiple organizations and stakeholder groups.
    • Significant experience overseeing fundraising operations, finance, governance, CRM systems, reporting, performance metrics, and back-office functions.
    • Proven success leading organizational change, operational transformation, and implementation of system-wide efficiencies using continuous improvement methodologies such as Lean.
    • Experience working within complex governance environments involving multiple Boards and reporting relationships while balancing competing priorities.
    • Strong governance, executive communication, relationship management, and political acuity.
    • Undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline; Master's degree preferred.
    • CFRE designation and membership in the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) are preferred.
