Since re-opening in 1968, Ford’s Theatre has explored and celebrated the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln and the American experience through theatre and education. Today, in a city full of cultural institutions, Ford’s Theatre stands alone as a producing theatre drawing upon local artists, a historic site that puts visitors in the very rooms where one of America’s great tragedies took place, and a museum that brings past and present together in discussing civil rights and other issues. Annually, the historic site has nearly half a million visitors, the theatre entertains more than 100,000 patrons, and nearly as many students visit via field trips.

While honoring the past, Ford’s Theatre continually looks to the future. Ford’s Legacy Commissions project named five inaugural playwrights in 2021 commissioned to create new work exploring issues of social justice and racial history and the varied experiences of underrepresented characters and lesser-known historical figures. They soon will restart a campaign to raise more than $50M to renovate an adjoining building, creating a new campus to develop new programming across its pillars of education, theatre, and history.

The Director of Development will play a leadership role in fulfilling the promise of Ford’s future. Responsible for raising approximately half of Ford’s Theatre’s $15M annual operating budget, the Director of Development oversees 7-10 staff in individual giving, membership, major gifts, corporate giving, special events, and grants. The Director of Development will also play a lead role in the second phase of the capital campaign, working closely with the Director and the Board of Trustees.

The ideal candidate for the Director of Development position will be a dynamic leader with at least 10 years of senior fundraising experience, including:

• Securing individual and corporate major gifts
• Increasing funding year-over-year through strategic and creative approaches
• Possessing highly polished communication skills, with the ability to interact easily with HNW donors, corporate executives, and leading political figures
• Experience within arts organizations is welcomed but not required. Campaign experience is preferred

The Institute for Political Innovation (IPI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization focused on research and public education on non-partisan political innovation that advances and improves the representativeness and performance of democracy for all constituencies across the United States. Its counterparts include two C4s: IPI Action Fund and Final-Five Fund.

The mission of IPI is rooted in Politics Industry Theory, the groundbreaking body of work pioneered by former corporate CEO and IPI Founder and President, Katherine Gehl. Katherine used, for the first time, an industry-competition lens (tools which were long the gold standard for analyzing for-profit industries) to shed light on the systemic failures of our political system and, importantly, to identify the most powerful and achievable solution: Final-Five Voting. She first articulated the research and theory in a 2017 report out of Harvard Business School and further developed it in a subsequent book, The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy (both with her co-author, Harvard Business School Professor Michael E. Porter).

This role represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join a team, as a key leader, to drive the success of one of the most impactful and important philanthropic opportunities in America today: Final-Five Voting (FFV). Final-Five Voting is a new method proposed for elections to the U.S. House and Senate (more details below). Final-Five Voting is not designed to necessarily change who wins. It’s designed to change what the winners do—what they have the freedom and incentives to do (i.e., solve problems in a consensus, sustainable fashion) and on whose behalf they’re doing it (i.e., on behalf of a majority of general election voters). FFV achieves this by uniquely fixing a major system root cause of our dysfunctional politics by aligning the incentives of Congress with the interests and preferences of the majority of Americans. This makes FFV powerful, but, unlike other potentially powerful political innovations, FFV is also achievable (i.e., not “pie in the sky”) because Article I in the U.S. Constitution gives each state the power to make and remake the rules of the game for elections to Congress.

• Proven experience leading significant individual fundraising initiatives defined by personal solicitations and closures of six and seven figure gifts.
• Prior experience fundraising within complex political environments and a passion and desire to see Final-Five Voting implemented nationally.
• Understanding and ability to speak at the highest level on important and complex political issues.
• Proven ability to develop fundraising strategies that expand both a donor base and giving levels.
• Record of securing large (6- and 7-figure) gifts from individuals.
• Record of cultivating corporate and foundation support.
• Record of working successfully with senior leaders and engaging them in a high-level fundraising process.
• Passion for improving and strengthening our democracy, and eager to work with a team of opinionated individuals of varying political perspectives united around one non-partisan goal.
• Balance of initiative and judgment necessary to succeed in a flexible, largely self-directed environment where quality and victory are the highest priorities.
• Bachelor’s degree is required; advanced degree and/or record of continuing professional development is useful.

The formation of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1848 marked the emergence of a national scientific community in the United States. While science was part of the American scene from the nation’s early days, its practitioners remained few in number and scattered geographically and among disciplines. AAAS was the first permanent organization formed to promote the development of science and engineering at the national level and to represent the interests of all its disciplines.

Today, AAAS is the world’s largest multi-disciplinary scientific society, with nearly 120,000 individual members in over 91 countries, and a leading publisher of cutting-edge research through our Science family of journals. We strive to promote and defend the integrity of science and its use, provide a voice for science on societal issues and strengthen and diversify the science and technology workforce.

The AAAS is seeking an experienced Senior Major Gifts Officer to join its growing philanthropy team. There is an urgency for AAAS to take their efforts to the next level, and against this backdrop, the board and executive leadership have made philanthropy and strategic partnerships a growing priority. In this role, you will join our dedicated Office of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships team, reporting to the Director of Individual Philanthropy, and will play a key role in building relationships with AAAS members, Fellows, and other leaders in the science and philanthropy communities to secure unrestricted and programmatic funding. Specific qualifications include:

• 8-10 years of non-profit fundraising experience, with the demonstrated ability to grow a program.
• A minimum of 5 years of experience soliciting and securing five- and six-figure gifts from individual donors and cultivating/stewarding individual relationships.
• Experience carrying a prospect portfolio and ability to strategize to meet financial goals.
• Strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills and attention to detail.
• Proficiency with Raiser’s Edge.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize, multi-task, and meet deadlines without extensive back-office support.
• Ability to travel 50% of the time (given autonomy to determine your own travel schedule).
• Familiarity with fundraising best practices, standards, and ethics.
• Must understand and support the mission of AAAS.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
