Development Director, Major Gifts
In partnership with the CEO, the Development Director will play an integral role in leading SFD’s development and fundraising functions, with a focus on major gifts, to support SFD’s continued growth, organizational effectiveness, and impact. This is an extraordinary opportunity for an individual who craves being a part of a meaningful mission, setting and implementing innovative strategies and meeting key goals, growing and mobilizing transformational relationships, and leveraging compelling external messaging to build sustainable funding for the organization.
I love SFD because it’s making me learn more about coding. Society is going toward coding and technology. When I grow up, I want to be either an environmental scientist or an engineer."
I use my computer skills in real life by looking at everything as a step-by-step process, like the functions in coding. This helps me achieve my goals as I get a clearer understanding of what I have to do to get there."
Being part of the STEM From Dance community helped me develop an interest for engineering that I am pursuing in college, and being able to take leadership while working as a team gave me the confidence to fight to achieve the future that I want to be a part of."
