Director of Individual Giving

Tech Goes Home (TGH) is a nonprofit dedicated to addressing the digital inequities that pose a significant barrier to opportunity and success for thousands of students, workers, and families across Massachusetts. We bring computers, internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs and manage finances, seniors can connect with loved ones, and all can lead healthier lives.

In the past five years alone, 21,000 learners have graduated from TGH programs, and we have distributed more than 15,000 new computers in communities across Eastern Massachusetts. The coronavirus pandemic along with the growing national consciousness of systematic racism has substantially increased awareness of the digital inequities that low income households face as many of our school, employment, healthcare and civic programs have moved to virtual platforms. The increase in awareness has triggered substantial growth in funding interest and commitments, positioning TGH for rapid expansion geographically across the Commonwealth with an eye toward national expansion. See an example here.

TGH currently has a $7M annual budget, made up of 50% government funding and 50% mix of corporate, foundation, and individual donors. Within the private philanthropic sector, the individual giving segment currently holds enormous potential for the organization as it has been largely untapped to date. TGH seeks an experienced, energetic, creative professional who is excited to help build and grow a formal individual donor program to further TGH’s goals of impacting more learners in more geographies.

The Opportunity

The Director of Individual Giving is responsible for working with the Advancement team to grow our leadership program (donors who give $1,000+ annually), assist in executing TGH’s major gift strategy, and help develop and implement the organization’s evolving donor relations strategy. We seek candidates who bring their experiences and creativity to build and lead donor-facing programs. A successful candidate will have in-depth knowledge of the non-profit sector, understand the cycle of donor research, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship, have experience in building and managing a donor plan, and will be comfortable and confident with face-to-face solicitations of $1,000+.

The Director of Individual Giving will work closely with donors, volunteer committees and staff members to raise nearly $400,000 annually in the near-term while establishing the building blocks to significantly increase this number in time. They will also manage a targeted portfolio of donors requiring front-facing solicitations. S/he/they will have excellent verbal and writing skills, and will simultaneously be excited by and responsible for focusing on big picture ideas as well as the many details of project management and overseeing staff to effectively execute on donor and prospect communications, events, volunteer coordination, donor acknowledgement and gift processing.

The Director will actively engage in the cultivation and solicitation of a portfolio of high-net-worth individuals through innovative outreach, personal visits and other meaningful interactions. S/he/they will oversee the implementation of systems and processes to encourage and monitor fundraising activities. This position reports directly to the Chief Advancement Officer and will work very closely with all members of the Advancement and larger TGH teams.

Boston Main Streets Foundation

Executive Director

Boston, MA

The dynamic and volunteer-led Boston Main Streets Foundation (BMSF or Foundation) seeks an inaugural Executive Director to build on the momentum of the last decade and intentionally scale their impact across Boston’s 20 resilient business districts. BMSF has partnered with the City of Boston to revitalize and sustain economic centers by inspiring philanthropic partners and leveraging the knowledge and expertise in neighborhoods. Today, with assets of more than a half million, and annual grantmaking exceeding $150,000 to small business owners and local Main Streets districts, the Foundation plays an increasingly prominent leadership role as a trusted resource.

In 1980, the National Trust for Historic Preservation established the Main Streets program to revitalize older and historic commercial districts emblematic of a community’s heart-and-soul. Boston became the first urban pilot for the national program. In 2007, following enthusiastic political and economic support, the City of Boston established the Boston Main Streets Foundation to bolster and complement the national program. Since then, the BMSF has been a driving force behind revitalizing the city’s 20 neighborhood commercial districts granting more than $4 million. The unique public-private partnership facilitates and leverages knowledge, expertise, and resources across Greater Boston to profoundly impact and sustain the economic vitality of the City’s twenty economic centers.

Reporting to the 13-member Board of Directors, the Executive Director of the Boston Main Streets Foundation will work closely with each of the business districts, the City of Boston, and a growing community of donors to ensure Boston is home to thriving and vibrant centers of commerce and community. The inaugural role calls for an inspiring individual to serve as the executive leader of the organization as well as the chief fundraiser, who will be both comfortable and compelling in telling the story of the BMSF and sharing its vision with the business districts, donors, and civic leaders. The visible leader will value a consultative approach and skillfully navigate the politics of relationships, diplomatically advocating for historically marginalized communities across the city. At a time when there is both significant and growing wealth in the region and profound community needs, the Foundation is poised to play an ever more vital and transformational leadership role. The Executive Director must chart the path forward and operationalize a plan to take BMSF to the next level, in service to the City of Boston.
