Director of Development

As RIVET’s Director of Development, you will translate our
compelling mission focused on providing micro-grants to youth
innovators in “capital deserts” around the globe into significant
philanthropic support from high networth individuals, family
offices, and foundations. 

You will be responsible for three work streams pertaining to
fundraising: 

Strategy: As a
strategic philanthropic leader, you will set the strategy for
fundraising efforts to accomplish a two year, $3MM campaign. Your
efforts and funds raised will build the infrastructure needed to
get RIVET to the next phase of organizational development where we
will not be reliant on philanthropic funding.
Fundraising: Along
with support from the CEO and volunteer leadership, you will
develop and own a full portfolio of donors and prospects capable of
supporting RIVET at the $10K-$250K level. While there is ongoing
pipeline development work needed, much of your initial portfolio
has been identified and is in the process of being qualified; some
have been researched, some are already engaged. 

• Systems: While RIVET will not be
  dependent on philanthropic support in the future, there are systems
  that need to be refined or put in place to achieve fundraising
  goals over the next two years and to continue to nurture donor
  relationships and funding opportunities beyond 2025. We have built
  an initial CRM platform and you will further define and refine
  necessary system work. 

The Director of Development will join a dedicated, passionate,
low-ego team of founders in launching a first-of-its-kind social
movement led by young people. This new role reports into the CEO,
working across the organization with all team members and volunteer
leadership.
