Director of Development - Equal Justice Works - Washington, D.C. http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=20685 Equal Justice Works (www.equaljusticeworks.org) is seeking an energetic executive with a strong fundraising track record to play a central role in the senior management team of the nations largest organization creating opportunities and support for public interest minded students and lawyers. Equal Justice Works runs the largest postgraduate public interest legal fellowship programs in the nation.<br> <br> <b>The Organization</b><br> <br> Equal Justice Works is a recognized leader in the public interest law movement. Our mission is <i>to create a just society by mobilizing the next generation of lawyers committed to equal justice.</i> We provide a continuum of opportunity that begins with incoming law school students and extends into later careers in the profession. From advocating for law school programs that instill public service values among students, to creating summer and postgraduate public interest jobs and addressing the staggering educational debt that blocks lawyers from going into public service, Equal Justice Works inspires and provides opportunities for the legal community to change lives, make careers, and deliver on the promise of justice for all.<br> <br> Unlike many nonprofits that have expertise around a particular subject, we cover many justice-related issues such as immigration, the environment, civil rights and civil liberties, housing and homelessness, and many others. We enable very talented law students and new lawyers to engage in work on behalf of under-served communities and causes. Currently we have about 100 privately funded and 80 public-private funded lawyers in the field. We have 700 law students who participate in our Summer Corps program. Almost every law school in the country is a dues-paying member of Equal Justice Works.<br> <br> We are on the verge of launching two new major fellowship programs: a federally funded program focused on the legal needs of veterans, particularly homeless veterans, and a new program focused on indigent defense -- modeled in part on Teach for America, where new lawyers will work for three years in under-served regions.<br> <br> Equal Justice Works has a prominent board of directors representing every corner of the legal profession corporate general counsel, private law firm partners, federal judges, law school deans, law students and public interest executives. Private sector board members are a key asset in the organizations fundraising capacity. <br> <br> The current annual budget is $10 million, with $6 million coming from law firms or corporations; $3 million from government sources; and approximately $1 million from foundations, individuals and law schools. Among our strategies for raising funds are a national awards dinner that raises $1.5 million, and five regional events that raise another $450,000 altogether.<br> <br> <b>The Position</b><br> <br> Equal Justice Works is a dynamic organization that has experienced dramatic growth during its history, including during the recent recession.

The development department was recently reorganized and streamlined. The new structure has five positions, which include events, individual giving and foundations. Much of the non-event fundraising is done by program staff who have expertise and relationships with key donors. Still, they rely on the development staff to assist them in strategizing, making an effective case for support, and coordinating fundraising to ensure that we are not separately approaching a donor for support. The Director of Development will report to the Deputy with dotted line reporting to the Executive Director.<br> <br> The Director of Development will have many assets with which to work.

MLT brings vision, innovation and energy to solve a growing problem in the workplace. Despite comprising nearly 30% of the US population, underrepresented minorities comprise only 3% of senior leaders at corporations, non-profits and entrepreneurial ventures. As minorities fall out of the leadership pipeline, they often fail to reach their full potential due to skill gaps, lack of a clear roadmap and limited access to career opportunities leading to senior management. They will, in turn, not have a voice in solving the most complex problems within organizations. Also, they will likely not participate in decision-making processes that address economic ills in communities where their corporations derive revenues or offer services. MLT is the nation's #1 source of minority talent for the top business schools (nearly 40% of the minority MBA students at HBS, Wharton and Kellogg are MLT alumni) and for many of the nation's leading corporations including Google, Goldman Sachs, PepsiCo, McKinsey, Citi and Target. Leading philanthropies such as New Profit and the Starr Foundation are also long-term strategic partners. MLT has been featured on the cover of Fortune and in CNN's "Black in America 2: Tomorrow's Leaders." MLT is passionate about helping individuals achieve their full potential. It does so by equipping underrepresented minorities with the hard and soft skills, career roadmap, coaching, mentoring, and door-opening relationships required becoming the high-impact business and community leaders of tomorrow. MLT creates value through three structured programs: 1) The Career Preparation Program (CP) is for college juniors and seniors preparing to get on the career fast-track. 2) The MBA Preparation Program (MBA Prep) is for young professionals seeking to gain admission to a top MBA program and make a successful post-MBA career transition. 3) The Career Advancement Program (CAP) is for senior leaders seeking to reach the C-level. In partnership with the Yale University School of Management, CAP is creating a talent development training system to help mid-level leaders develop their analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. These programs have successfully graduated over 2,000 alumni to date.

Director of Development - MERIL - St. Joseph, Missouri http://www.execsearches.com/non-profit-jobs/jobDetail.asp?job_id=20659 Director of Development An Introduction Midland Empire Resources for Independent Living (MERIL) is a not-for-profit organization with headquarters in Saint Joseph, MO. Providing services throughout Northwest Missouri, MERIL serves a varied group of over 800 individuals with all types of disabilities. All resources at our disposal are clearly focused on creating A Barrier Free Northwest Missouri. Twelve leading indicators for such transformation have been identified. Measurements and benchmarks for the twelve indicators are currently being developed. Innovation and collaboration have become hallmarks of MERIL. In this economic downturn we have chosen to reallocate, collaborate and innovate to thrive rather than cut to survive. We have chosen to lead not follow. We have advances not retreats. We consider all employees to be leaders not staff. Throughout our first 16 years of existence MERILs revenue sources have consisted primarily of fees for service, federal and state grants and some very light fundraising. Executive Team members at MERIL include the CEO, COO and CFO. Joining this trio of seasoned veterans 18 months ago was the Director of Community Relations. The incumbent in this position is one of the regions most dynamic and respected leaders. Friend Raising and brand development have been her focus. Today MERIL enjoys very positive name recognition and ever increasing referrals and collaborative partners. With the creation of the Director of Development position comes our initial effort at a fullfledged financial development program. We are primed and ready for the right person to fill this new position and become the newest member of the dream team of executive leadership. The key to our most recent success is a dynamic and progressive Board that has a clear focus on the other side of the horizon pointing the way rather than a rear view mirror focus of reacting and ratifying. With roughly 80% of our Board and 55% of the leadership team (employees) having a disability, we are indeed an organization that is governed and operated by people with disabilities. The mantra of nothing about us without us is very much alive at MERIL. MERIL operates on an annual budget of $7.5M Grants and contributions make up less than 5% of the current budget. The balance comes from fees for service. The primary development objectives include a plan to enhance the ratio of non-fee for service revenue, secure startup funding for new programs, startup funding for a research and training subsidiary as well as the development of endowed funds and a capital campaign. To address the opportunities before us MERIL seeks an accomplished Director of Development (DOD) who brings strategic focus, leadership and demonstrated success in securing charitable contributions that support our vision. The Director of Development will foster a culture of philanthropy and create from ground up a donor-centered organization that nurtures loyalty through a comprehensive relationship building program including cultivation, solicitation and communications. To learn more about MERIL visit us at: www.meril.org. Please pardon the looks and functioning of our current website as it is in the midst of a complete makeover. Requirements The ideal candidate for the Director of Development position will have 10 years of progressively responsible and effective financial development experience leading successful annual, major gift and/or capital/ endowment campaigns or grants procurement. Experience could include work with an academic, cultural, medical, or social service not-for-profit organization or as a trust officer in the banking industry. A proven track record delivering compelling and sustained results is essential. Masters degree is preferred. The specific professional and personal competencies include the following: A deep understanding of fundraising techniques, communications, and donor and volunteer motivations is a must. Experience should include face-to-face solicitations, capital and endowment campaign management, proposal writing and special events. The Director of Development must be a fiscally savvy individual who understands the complexity of donor-centered fundraising and will need to display the skills necessary to interconnect development efforts within the operating infrastructure of MERIL. The successful candidate must be strategic and able to create a plan of action for development that balances the long and short term needs and capabilities of MERIL. The ability to think broadly regarding the strengths, opportunities and challenges relative to setting realistic goals and the action plan to achieve them is essential. The Director of Development must be as a positive and energetic leader whom others turn to in getting things done and lead by example through personal effort and initiative. The successful candidate will have well-developed oral and written communication skills and will also be a strategic listener. This individual will be accomplished at making a compelling case that is credible, effective and relevant to donors. The Director of Development will have a track record of embracing a collaborative work style that encourages partnership. Key to this will be an ability to build and manage dynamic internal and external relationships with a broad constituency including executive leadership, the board, staff, program participants and the philanthropic community. The Director of Development must have an understanding of and appreciation for the Independent Living movement as it relates to people with disabilities. Qualified candidates are encouraged to send a personal letter of introduction along with a detailed resume' to DOD@meril.org with DOD Candidate (your name) in the subject line. Qualified candidates with a disability or minorities are highly encouraged to apply. Candidate inquiries will be received until the position is filled.

The University serves a diverse student population of more than 3,300 undergraduate and graduate students drawn primarily from the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area with increased attention to recruitment of national and international students. Classes are offered on the historic urban campus, the Burleson site (located 16 miles south of Fort Worth), and the Texas Wesleyan School of Law (located in downtown Fort Worth). Texas Wesleyan University is characterized by a tradition of integrating the liberal arts and sciences with professional and career preparation at the undergraduate level and professional practice at the graduate level. The University strives to give students opportunities to grow intellectually and spiritually, believing that the primary goal of education is the development of students to their full potential as individuals and as members of the world community. As a learning community, interactions between students and faculty are maximized through small class size, dedicated faculty, and a focus on student learning. Ultimately, the University seeks to impart to its students and to the community the values underlying its affiliation with the United Methodist Church. In keeping with the Methodist tradition, the University welcomes individuals of all faiths and is thoroughly ecumenical in its operations. Undergraduate students study in four schools: Arts and Letters, Natural and Social Sciences, Business, and Education. Practitioner-oriented graduate programs are offered in Business, Counseling, Education, Law, and Nurse Anesthesia. These have each emerged as academic signature programs. National and regional NAIA championships across men's and women's athletic teams have provided a source of pride in the Texas Wesleyan experience.

About us The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is the worldwide leader for research to cure type 1 diabetes. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation. Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.5 billion to diabetes research. The generosity of our supporters allowed JDRF to fund more than $107 million in FY2010. In FY 2010, JDRF funds research projects in 22 countries throughout the world, including more than 40 human clinical trials.
