Full Time
Posted March 6, 2024

CMC is currently seeking a Development Director to drive our donor relations program and manage our fundraising initiatives. The successful candidate will be responsible for directing our non-profit’s fundraising campaigns, communicating with current and prospective donors, oversight of fundraising events, and on the ground cultivation of a robust pipeline of individual, corporate, and foundation donors. The Development Director will be accountable for developing corporate gifts, as well as planned and capital giving campaigns with a focus on major donors.
