Chief Philanthropy Officer

CHIEF PHILANTHROPY OFFICER
FOUNDATION TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM
FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS

The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) aims to inspire and
mobilize all people to become upstanders against Jewish hate. FCAS
launched the #StandUpToJewishHate
campaign in 2023, reaching millions of people across the United
States and establishing the Blue Square # as a universal symbol to
stand against antisemitism and all forms of hate. Through powerful
positive messaging and partnerships with prominent Jewish and
non-Jewish organizations, FCAS is strongly positioned to drive
effective change. FCAS leverages unique monitoring technology to
drive effective rapid response to Jewish hate and all hate, in
addition to proactive programs that galvanize popular support for
the Jewish community.

FCAS has secured more than $250 million in support of its
mission since 2019, including more than 20,000 unsolicited gifts
during a six-month period of 2023 as well as a recent,
unprecedented commitment of $200M resulting from a partnership
match between Robert Kraft and the Rales Foundation. Given the
Foundation’s clear impact to date, it is committed to turn the
moment into a movement and is prioritizing the ongoing scaling and
long-term sustainability of its efforts. Going forward, FCAS will
expand its reach to younger and older audiences across the nation
with a larger digital and social reach, new campaigns across
television and multi-media, increased data and research abilities,
targeted partnerships, and meaningful convenings.

Amid this critical mission and environment of extraordinary
investment and expansion, FCAS seeks candidates for Chief
Philanthropy Officer (CPO). Reporting to the President and managing
an evolving team that currently comprises two staff, the CPO
provides comprehensive and strategic leadership of the development
program and will be a central figure in ensuring the Foundation’s
long-term success. This leader will leverage the outpouring of
support for FCAS to date to maximize contributed revenue potential
and drive ongoing philanthropic growth at scale while building a
best-practices, major-and-principal-gifts-focused development
program that sustainably meets strategic and programmatic needs for
years to come.

This is a unique opportunity for a development leader who
possesses a deep background in principal and transformational
giving as well as a sophisticated understanding of building
sustainable, comprehensive, data-driven development programs to
stand in solidarity with Jews and broadly combat hate.

While FCAS will consider a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal
candidate will have the following qualifications/experience:

• Commitment to the mission and values of FCAS and a
  sophisticated understanding of antisemitism in its current and
  historical context.
• Ten years or more of nonprofit fundraising experience in
  positions of increasing responsibility. Track record of creating
  and executing development strategies and programs, simultaneously
  managing an array of corresponding activities, growing the donor
  base, and increasing philanthropic revenue. Sophisticated
  understanding of individual, institutional, annual, digital, and
  event-driven giving.
• Demonstrated success in cultivating and stewarding new and
  existing donors and in soliciting contributions of seven to eight
  figures or more.
• Track record of effective management and agility in toggling
  between strategy, hands-on execution, and team leadership; ability
  to lead and motivate staff and stakeholders at all levels.
• Excellent judgment that prioritizes mission above personal gain
  or ego; a commitment to innovation, diplomacy, inclusivity,
  continuous improvement, and accountability.
• Exceptional work ethic, entrepreneurial and highly flexible
  leadership style, and the ability to succeed in a fast-paced,
  evolving environment with a high level of principal oversight.
• Culturally competent with respect to issues such as racial,
  cultural, religious, sexual, and gender identity with the
  interpersonal skills and sensitivity to develop and sustain
  impactful relationships with a diversity of internal and external
  stakeholders.
• Superb verbal and written communication skills with the
  stature, demeanor, and comfort level to serve as a highly visible
  and public-facing ambassador of FCAS.
• Working knowledge of modern data management practices and
  demonstrated ability to integrate data into decision-making and
  strategy development.
• Bachelor’s degree.
