Director of Philanthropy

About the Role

We are seeking a Director of Philanthropy to lead and grow a dynamic fundraising program for Recovery Cafe Longmont, a mission-driven nonprofit focused on addiction recovery and community impact.

This is a unique opportunity to own and shape the organization’s fundraising strategy, deepen relationships with major donors, and partner closely with leadership and the board to expand our reach and impact.

If you’re currently in an Associate Director or senior fundraising role and ready to step into full leadership, this role is designed for you.

What You’ll Do

Lead Major Gifts Strategy

• Manage and grow a portfolio of individual donors
• Cultivate, solicit, and steward major gifts

Drive Fundraising Growth

• Develop and execute a comprehensive fundraising plan across multiple revenue streams
• Identify new opportunities for donor engagement and revenue expansion

Partner with Leadership & Board

• Collaborate closely with executive leadership and board members on fundraising initiatives
• Support board engagement in donor cultivation and solicitation

Build Systems & Structure

• Strengthen fundraising processes, tracking, and donor communications
• Help scale a sustainable development function

What You Bring

• 5+ years of progressively responsible experience in nonprofit fundraising or development
• Demonstrated success in major gifts fundraising and donor relationship management
• Experience working with nonprofits with $1M+ budgets
• Proven ability to collaborate with board members and organizational leadership
• Experience developing and implementing fundraising strategies across multiple revenue streams

What Makes This Role Different

• True Ownership — You will lead fundraising strategy, not just execute it
• Mission Impact — Directly support life-changing work in addiction recovery
• Leadership Access — Work closely with executive leadership and the board
• Right-Sized Organization — Big enough to have impact, small enough to shape direction
• Career Growth — Ideal next step into a Director-level leadership role

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $95,000 annually
• Competitive benefits package (details available upon request)
• Opportunity for growth and increased leadership responsibility

Location
Boulder County, Colorado (candidates based in or near Boulder, Longmont, or surrounding areas strongly preferred)

Why Join Us
This is more than a fundraising role — it’s an opportunity to build something meaningful, help scale impact, and play a key leadership role in an organization changing lives.
