Job Description

Children’s Aid
Director of Institutional Giving
New York, NY – Hybrid

Children’s Aid works to end generational poverty. Since their founding in 1853, they have been anchored in the knowledge that poverty cannot be overcome with a single service delivered at a single point in time. Reaching nearly 50,000 children and families each year, Children’s Aid provides comprehensive supports to those living in the most under-resourced neighborhoods in New York City. The issues are complex, but as one of New York City’s largest and most innovative child-focused nonprofits, Children’s Aid mission is simple: to help children living in poverty succeed and thrive.

Last fiscal year, Children’s Aid began executing a three-year strategic plan. With goal areas of Integration, Community, Operational Excellence, and Team, Children’s Aid will invest in staff, strengthen community partnerships, and create seamless access to critical services for children and families. The plan illustrates Children’s Aid’s continued dedication to building brighter futures, ensuring Children’s Aid youth outpace the peers on academic milestones, have consistent quality access to health care, and grow up in safe and stable homes.

Children’s Aid raises $20M - $25M each year from private philanthropy, representing approximately 15% of the organization’s operating budget. This revenue is generated through a comprehensive development program that includes major gifts, direct mail, corporate and foundation giving, and events.

The Director of Institutional Giving is responsible for the implementation and management of a well-coordinated, comprehensive strategy for cultivating and soliciting $12+ million in private grant support annually from foundations (including corporate foundations) in support of Children’s Aid’s mission. Children’s Aid is well respected in the New York funder community, with a track record of securing funding from prominent foundations including Robin Hood, The New York Times, The Clark Foundation, the Doris Duke Foundation, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the Director is a member of the development department’s senior leadership team and will manage a team of four grant writers. The position works closely with the Director of Public Funding to foster consistency, alignment and synergy between public and private grant requests and leverage content expertise. This position also promotes cross-collaboration in the interest of corporate engagement. Additionally, the Director works in close partnership with agency and programmatic leadership to ensure an understanding of programmatic operations, innovations, and funding needs. The Director will also analyze divisional programs and budgets and works in close coordination with the Fiscal department, especially around agency budgets.
