Headlands Center for the Arts’ (Headlands) Development Department strategizes the organization’s fundraising efforts alongside Executive Director, Maricelle Robles; the Board of Directors; and the full staff with the goal of raising contributions to support Headlands’ programs. The organization’s fundraising goal and focus continues to expand as Headlands looks to deepen its impact. This expansion requires that we approach our work with strategy, flexibility, and the understanding that our duties and responsibilities are unique to the Development Department.
The Director of Development (DoD) serves as a key member of the senior leadership team, steering Headlands’ efforts in fundraising strategy and execution for institutional advancement efforts. The DoD supervises three Development staff members and stewards relationships with the Board of Directors and related Committees, leading the organization’s major donor fundraising efforts. The DoD will build capacity for the organization to sustain and grow an approximately $4M budget through the solicitation of major gifts and grants, special events such as the benefit auction, and corporate and foundation support, with a particular focus on a comprehensive campaign supporting Headlands’ Master Plan to improve and expand the campus. The DoD will also cultivate and manage a portfolio of high net-worth individuals and raise six-figure or above, multi-year contributions to support Headlands’ mission and campaign goals.
