See open jobs at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.See open jobs similar to "Major Gifts Officer (NYC Remote)" Schmidt Marine.The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has a strong history of fundraising from a broad base of supporters. Philanthropic giving from individuals, corporations, and foundations has been instrumental to advancing ocean research, technology and education. Private philanthropy, in particular, has been an integral part of WHOI’s success since it was founded in 1930 with a $2.5M gift from the Rockefeller Foundation. Today, gifts from local, national and international donors continue to support WHOI’s mission and vision helping to unravel the mysteries of the ocean and devise science-based solutions to planet-wide problems.
With a collaborative 22-person development team, WHOI has been named a four-star charity by Charity Navigator for 12 consecutive years, a distinction achieved by only two percent of U.S. charities. Support for WHOI from donors reached $90M in 2023, and results are projected to exceed $65M in 2024.
WHOI is in the early phase of a comprehensive campaign and this role will play a significant role in the success of the campaign through the careful stewardship of WHOI’s current supporters and the ambitious identification, qualification and solicitation of new donors in the New York City/Metro region.
WHOI seeks a Development Director for Major Gifts (Major Gifts Officer) to manage and further cultivate a strong group of existing donors in the greater New York City region to support the ambitious and strategic fundraising growth of the organization. This position will be responsible for working with the team to drive WHOI’s campaign and be responsible for identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major gift donors and prospects. The successful candidate for this position will need to be based in the New York City region, with the flexibility to travel to Woods Hole, as needed. Additional seasonal travel will be required as well (the Hamptons during the summer and Florida in winter are examples).
Key to success in this role will be identifying and building relationships with new prospects, as well as strengthening relationships with existing donors to maximize philanthropic support. In addition to soliciting major gifts, this position will develop ways in which donors can support the future of WHOI through transformational campaign gifts.
This position will report to the Director of Development, Principal and Major Gifts and will work closely with other Development colleagues and key stakeholders to expand and grow the fundraising efforts of WHOI. This is a full-time, exempt position and is eligible for benefits.
