A trusted philanthropic advisor to donors and a strategic thought partner across IDEA’s fundraising and regional leadership, the Director collaborates closely with program leaders, regional executives, Advancement Services, and the Donor Experience team to design high-impact proposals, stewardship plans, and engagement experiences that deepen trust and strengthen IDEA’s financial sustainability. The role requires mastery in major gifts, including multi-year commitments, donor-advised funds, endowed gifts, and planned giving, and the ability to translate IDEA’s bold ambitions into compelling investment opportunities.
