Since 2007, NMSI partners with school districts to co-design tailored PD plans, offer teacher and school leader training, year-round teacher support services, AP-specific services, classroom resources, and systems-level implementation guidance aimed at increasing student access to advanced coursework, closing achievement gaps, and preparing a diverse STEM workforce.

📋 Description

• The Director, Philanthropy (Corporate & Foundation) will contribute to NMSI’s mission by helping execute and advance fundraising strategies that support strategic programmatic growth, aligned with priorities set by the Senior Director, Business Development (Philanthropy) and connected to broader Business Development team and organizational goals. • This role will steward existing corporate and foundation donors, cultivate new philanthropic opportunities, and help translate NMSI’s work into compelling funder-facing narratives, proposals, reports, and communications. • Through a mix of portfolio management, donor stewardship, proposal and report development, prospecting, and cross-functional collaboration, the Director will serve as a key relationship builder and project manager across NMSI’s philanthropic partnerships. • This individual will be expected to understand NMSI’s programs deeply, identify the right story for the right donor audience, and work across teams to gather the data, examples, collateral, and insights needed to advance funding relationships.

🎯 Requirements

• Experienced fundraisers and donor relationship managers: You have at least five years of growing responsibility in fundraising, corporate and/or foundation relations, institutional giving, business development, or a related field, with demonstrated success cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding significant philanthropic partnerships. • Strong writers and storytellers: You are skilled at developing compelling narratives for proposals, reports, donor communications, and other external materials. You can synthesize complex programmatic information and data into clear, persuasive language that resonates with donor audiences. • Skilled project managers, action oriented, and results driven: You are focused on prioritizing tasks, solving problems, attention to detail, and delivering measurable results that align with our organizational priorities. You are able to manage donor portfolios, proposal and reporting timelines, meeting preparation, follow-up, and internal coordination with discipline and consistency. • Relationship-minded and team-oriented: You build strong internal and external relationships, communicate with clarity and professionalism, and foster collaboration across teams. You are comfortable working with colleagues across departments to gather information, align strategy, and move work forward. • Agile strategic learners: You may not have led every element of fundraising strategy before, but you bring the curiosity, judgment, and aptitude to grow into a more strategic portfolio leadership role over time. You can adapt as priorities shift, navigate ambiguity, and work across different departments to gather what is needed. • Tech-savvy and systems-disciplined: You are comfortable using technology to strengthen organization, communication, and accountability. Experience with a CRM is required; Salesforce experience is preferred. • Mission-aligned: You are energized by NMSI’s mission and interested in becoming a subject matter expert in NMSI’s work, programs, outcomes, and donor-facing value proposition.
