Job Opening:
Director of Fund Development
Tuesday, May 31, 2011 |
As a concrete response to the challenge to keep our vision on the abundance of God's promise, at the recommendation of the Fund Development Committee and with the support of Diocesan Council, the Diocese of Newark is seeking to hire a Director of Fund Development.
This position is a revisioning of the previously advertised Stewardship Officer position. Stewardship efforts will be divided between congregational stewardship, under the province of the CFO, and other stewardship efforts which will include planned giving, major donors, capital campaigns and the like.
This position will be funded outside the budget - for the first year using funds from the New Ministry Initiatives Fund (created with a portion of the sale proceeds of three properties) and some of the income from the Bishop's Supplementary Funds. The expectation is that in future years, after a funding stream is established, it will pay for itself, as is standard for all development positions.
