Title: Development Director
Location: Brattleboro, Vermont
Full-time position
Our Development Director will be responsible for the strategic fundraising and related efforts that support the vision and mission of Green Mountain Crossroads (GMC). In partnership with the Executive Director, and with input from the Board, the person in this position will be primarily responsible for completing a 3-5 year development plan, expanding our membership program, piloting other grassroots fundraising measures, managing donor relations with individuals and foundations, and growing our overall budget.
We know that in order to build toward the collective liberation of all people, including rural LGBTQ people, we must ultimately work toward shifting away from capitalism. And we recognize that, at this time, in order to fulfill our goals of building power, community, and freedom for all people we need money to get there. We must create new alternatives while we break down systems of oppression in our world. We see the work of our Development Director contributing directly to creating those alternatives through support of GMC’s mission, vision, and values. Our Development Director will excel in an organization with this perspective while also consistently keeping rural LGBTQ people’s needs and values at the center of their work.
Responsibilities
Qualifications
This is a fabulous, full-time opportunity to help shape the future of a growing, creative, rural, LGBTQ organization and community. People who are a good fit for us will have experience planning, implementing, and evaluating development efforts. This could include any of the following: grassroots fundraising, grant writing, running a social media campaign, and identification, cultivation, and stewardship of donors and foundations.
You will be a great fit for us if you can excel in varied areas like: writing and communication; working remotely with groups; being able to work independently to meet multiple goals at the same time under tight deadlines; and successfully fundraising while holding our organizational values central. We are looking for someone who is organized, comfortable working with a close-knit team, a positive person, and ideally has experience working with rural LGBTQ people. We prefer someone with 2-3 years of relevant professional experience (or a combination of education and work experience). However, we will train someone who is the right fit for us!
