Responsibilities

• Gift Proposal and Case Development: Lead the end-to-end project management and creation of major gift and principal gift proposals and cases for support.

• Annual and Mid-Level Giving Communications: Lead the project management, writing, and creation of multi-channel annual giving appeals and mid-level proposals, often in collaboration with outside vendors. Develop and execute a comprehensive communications plan to acquire, retain, and upgrade donors across Endeavor Health's five foundations.
• Post-Gift Impact Reporting and Stewardship: In partnership with the Philanthropy Communications team and with Donor Relations and the frontline fundraisers, translate the success of funded proposals into high-level impact reports. Ensure that donors who give to specific initiatives receive customized, substantive updates that demonstrate the direct power of their investment.
• Strategic Narrative and Messaging Counsel: Provide editorial leadership on system-wide fundraising priorities. Partner with frontline fundraisers to write and "package" new programs or clinical trials into donor-ready concepts before a formal proposal is presented.
• Visual Communications and Design: Manage the visual production of proposals and other communications materials. Independently create and adapt designs using tools like Canva and approved corporate templates to produce visually compelling and brand-aligned collateral in collaboration with the Philanthropy Communications team.
• Clinical Liaison and Governance: Navigate the internal approval process, working with the CDO and AVP of Philanthropy Operations to shepherd proposals through the Gift Policy Committee. Ensure all narratives align with the health system’s strategic clinical roadmap.
• Knowledge Management and Brand Standards: Maintain a central repository of approved boilerplate language for clinical programs and system facts. Ensure all high-level collateral meets Endeavor Health’s editorial and brand standards of the organization.
