TITLE: Vice President, Development
DEPT/PROGRAM: Development/Administration
REPORTS TO: Chief Executive Officer
JOB TYPE: Full Time
JOB LOCATION: Portland, Oregon | Hybrid
FLSA STATUS: (exempt/salaried)
SALARY: $54/hr. - $60.10/hr. ($112,300/yr. - $125,000/yr.)
Morrison Child and Family Services is looking for a relationship-centered and hands-on fundraising leader to serve as our next Vice President of Development.
This is an opportunity to do more than just maintain a well-established development program. You will work directly with the CEO, Board of Directors, organizational leaders, and our long-standing community of supporters to build the relationships, strategy, systems and team capacity needed to grow annual philanthropic revenue from approximately $1 million toward $2 million or more over the next three to five years.
You will join a well-respected organization, known for our quality, with more than 75 years of service, a compelling mission, a strong brand presence, an established base, and a small, committed team. You will have the opportunity to build upon Morrison's major-gifts program and successful annual event in order to expand its donor community, clarify its case for support, create the infrastructure for sustainable growth, and secure significant additional philanthropic support.
This is a visible, community-facing executive position for someone who enjoys setting strategy - and is equally energized by meeting donors, making meaningful asks, coaching staff, strengthening a pipeline and turning plans into results.
You do not need to have held a Vice President title before. This could be an exciting next step for an accomplished Development Director, senior major-gifts fundraiser or a seasoned development professional ready for greater responsibility, executive influence and the opportunity to build.
Morrison's mission is simple and deeply important: helping kids be kids and supporting families when they need us most.
Founded in 1947, Morrison is a nationally recognized provider of high-quality, trauma-informed behavioral-health services for children and families.
Our next Vice President of Development will help more people understand this work, see its impact and become meaningful partners in Morrison's future.
During your first year, you will build trusted relationships with Morrison's leaders, Board, staff and supporters; assess the donor base, pipeline, systems and team capacity; establish a focused multi-year fundraising strategy; personally engage priority donors and prospects; improve cultivation, solicitation, stewardship and retention; create clearer portfolios and forecasts; manage a successful fundraising event, and demonstrate measurable progress toward a sustainable $2 million-plus development program.
Success will be measured not only by revenue, but also by stronger donor relationships, a healthier pipeline, reliable forecasting, consistent follow-through, an increasingly capable team and growing confidence in Morrison's philanthropic direction.
This is a hybrid position based in Portland, with at least three days each week in the office. The role includes donor and community meetings throughout the Portland-Salem area, occasional travel elsewhere in Oregon and Washington, and limited evening or weekend events. Personal transportation and a valid driver's license are required. The successful candidate must pass applicable criminal-history and driving-record checks.
Morrison is committed to an accessible hiring process. Reasonable accommodations are available throughout the application and interview process and may be made to enable employees to perform the position's essential duties.
The starting compensation range is $112,300-$125,000 annually
