Director of Fundraising, Corporate, In-Kind, Planned Giving (50209)

OUR MISSION

The Family Place empowers survivors of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence.

Position Summary:

In this position as Director of Fundraising, Corporate, In-Kind, Planned Giving, you will lead The Family Place's strategy for corporate partnerships and in-kind giving — two revenue streams that together expand our capacity to serve survivors and strengthen the resources available across our programs. You'll develop and execute a corporate fundraising strategy that grows partnerships from initial prospect to long-term commitments, while ensuring that in-kind donations are aligned with real organizational needs and thoughtfully managed from solicitation through distribution. Collaboration is central to this role — you'll work across departments to match what partners can offer with what our programs actually need, making the connections that turn goodwill into meaningful impact.

If you're a relationship builder who can move between big-picture strategy and the details of managing a partnership pipeline, and who finds satisfaction in building the kind of corporate relationships that last well beyond a single gift or donation drive, this role is built for you.

In-Kind Donation Strategy & Coordination

• Develop and lead the organization's strategy for soliciting, receiving, and distributing in-kind donations in alignment with program needs.

• Manage the intake, acknowledgment, and recordkeeping of all donated goods and services, maintaining accurate and timely documentation.
• Cultivate corporate relationships that include both cash and in-kind giving as part of an integrated partnership package.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration

• Partner with program, operations, and finance staff to align in-kind and corporate giving with actual organizational needs and budget priorities.
• Collaborate with senior leadership and Board members to leverage relationships for corporate prospecting and partner cultivation.
• Coordinate with the Development team to ensure corporate and in-kind activity is integrated into the broader fundraising strategy and CRM tracking.

Data Management & Reporting

• Maintain accurate records of all corporate partners and in-kind donor activity in CRM systems.
