VP of Philanthropy

Job Summary The Vice President of Philanthropy owns individual giving and engagement at Scholars of Finance — the strategy, the relationships, the team, and the results.  This is a builder’s role: you will turn a founder-led fundraising and engagement effort into a durable, scalable institution, while personally carrying a portfolio of high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth donors and leading the team that grows that engine over time. You will advise leaders on how they invest their time, talent, and treasure. You build the motion for engaging hundreds of leaders and volunteers and funders. You will own donor relationships end-to-end, deploying our CEO and Board as closing assets on your timeline.  This role is a rare opportunity to take a proven nonprofit with a $10M+ track record and world-class backers and build the individual giving and engagement function that will carry it to the next order of magnitude. The starting salary for this role is $150K-$170K. This leader will report to the CEO and serve on our Executive Team.
