Mamatoto Village seeks Director of Development
Start Date: October 26, 2026
Application Deadline: September 11, 2026
Education: 4-Year Degree Required
Salary: $130,000 - $150,000/year
POSITION OVERVIEW
Reporting to the President and CEO and working in close partnership with the Director of Communications and the Chief of Staff (who holds Strategic and Corporate Partnerships), the Director of Development (DoD) leads Mamatoto Village's entire development function, individual giving, institutional and foundation giving, and campaign-level giving, during a pivotal stage of organizational growth. This is a strategic and tactical leadership role, responsible for updating, managing, and executing Mamatoto's full development plan across a scaling portfolio.
The ideal candidate brings substantial experience and connections in both individual major-gift fundraising and institutional/foundation giving, with the judgment to run both disciplines at once and the leadership presence to represent Mamatoto directly to funders at every level, from a first-time individual donor to a multi-year institutional partner. The DDIA leads a team of three: the Individual Giving Manager, the Grants Manager, and the Senior Development Associate, and manages Mamatoto's relationship with its contracted grant-writing firm, ensuring that external capacity and internal ownership work together rather than as two disconnected efforts.
This role also carries a significant institutional-advancement mandate: owning direct relationships with Mamatoto's key foundation funders, preparing the organization for a potential future capital campaign, and ensuring that the leadership team's time, particularly the CEO's, is invested where it matters most across a growing and increasingly complex funding portfolio.
