Posted: January 28, 2021

Department: Development & Marketing
Status: Full Time, Exempt
End Date: Open Until Filled
 
Summary

Are you a collaborative and enterprising individual who creates strong and enduring partnerships with your team members and with foundations?

Do you engage with foundations that share goals of empowering the community to navigate life with deeper connection and understanding?

And do you have the expertise to manage a current portfolio of grants, meeting all reporting deadlines, tracking payments, and to proactively seek out new opportunities for funding?

If so, then you should apply to be CapRadio’s Director of Foundation Engagement!

This is a new, full-time, exempt position. In this role you’ll collaborate with the CapRadio Executive team and lead the cultivation of strong partnerships with current and potential grant makers in order to attract significant, multi-year funding. Your role would reinforce one of CapRadio’s highest priority goals and aspirations: to focus on cultivating grant funding for initiatives.

The ideal candidate will feel a connection with CapRadio’s public service mission and will be experienced in and passionate about a range of high-impact funding strategies. If you have extensive experience in grantmaking, company fundraising initiatives or foundation management and this sounds like you, we want you to apply.

We’re focused on building a diverse and inclusive organization and it takes all kinds of people so if you’re excited about this role but don't meet all of the qualifications listed below, we encourage you to apply.

  • Produce and submit timely requests for support through letters of interest, grant applications, and various formal or informal proposals and other materials to secure new or continued funding
  • Produce high-impact, high-quality grant proposals. Manage proposals and ensure all fall within grant strategy and organization-wide strategic plan. Include appropriate departments in the submission review
  • Participate in determining strategy, including approach and timeline, for each prospective funder. Effectively define grant requirements in the proposal stage and communicate grant programming expectations effectively with the CapRadio team to ensure all promised grant “programming” occurs in accordance with grant agreements
  • Successfully manage grants post-award. Gather information from colleagues and teams across the organization to author impactful and accurate grant reports. Provide required reports on or before all required deadlines for all existing grantors, including securing internal concurrence.
  • Identify improved processes for management of contacts and data through our CRM (Raiser’s Edge)
  • Collaborate with Corporate Support and Major Donor engagement, as appropriate for major initiatives
  • Stay abreast of trends in philanthropy and grantmaking in order to advise the Executive Team and support the strategic goals of CapRadio

  • Excellent writing skills and the ability to tell CapRadio’s story in a way that captures the imagination of grantmakers
  • Demonstrated ability to research, synthesize and communicate complex information
  • Dedication to managing a variety of projects on deadline and with strong attention to detail and pride in authorship
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field or experience preferred
  • Passion for public media, journalism and/or music
  • A thirst for continuous learning, bordering on geekiness
