Development and Communications Director (Detroit)
Are you looking for a challenge? Boys Hope Girls Hope is a thirty-year old institution, a midsized college-preparatory nonprofit searching for a Development & Communications Director.

I'm going to be extremely honest here. This position will not be easy for most fundraisers. Our donor base is strong, loyal, and generous - primarily because they believe in our mission. The thing is, we've been surviving off them for years. . .and as a result, we've done a poor job of marketing our programs to new donors. A large portion of this job will entail cultivating new stewards (foundations, corporate, and individuals). Many of your core responsibilities will encompass creating development and communications processes from scratch. All this to say, you MUST feel comfortable with this type of entrepreneurial work. . .AKA "creating" and “innovation” must be in your blood.

The good news? We have some mind-blowing programs here, producing actual, measurable results. We’ve also got a killer Board of Directors with deep connections. Additionally, we’ll give you as much freedom as necessary to market our award-winning programs to the community.

Base salary starts in the low-$50k, includes full benefits, and incentive-compensation bonuses of up to 50% of your salary based on achievement of mutually agreed-upon, pre-existing fundraising goals. In short, you work hard, hit your goals, and you’ll earn $75k, easy. We don't participate in percentage-based compensation, but trust me, you raise us the money, we'll raise your salary.
