Fund Development Director - PICO CA
Background
PICO California is the statewide collaborative effort of the PICO National Network of faith-based community organizations, representing 400 congregations and 450,000 families across the state.
Through our member organizations, PICO California unites people of diverse economic, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds around a vision of racial and economic justice. Since 1994, PICO California has been at the forefront of organizing working families to improve schools, increase access to health care, end mass incarceration, win a pathway to citizenship, and improve the quality of life for our families and our communities. PICO California is the largest community-organizing network in the state. We are seeking individuals to join our growing staff team who are committed to a transformative racial justice movement (that demands reflection, introspection and truth telling) in order to actively dismantle racist structures in our society.
Job Summary
PICO California is currently seeking an experienced and dynamic Development Director to lead fundraising efforts for our statewide network. In partnership with the Executive Director, the Development Director will design and drive fundraising activities to meet a state revenue goal of $2.5 million, and seek ways to bring additional dollars — national, state and local — to support each organization in securing the resources required to effectively pursue the mission of winning change in the policies and programs that impact our families and communities.
By working collaboratively in a comprehensive strategy with the 19 local federations and national development staff, we seek to raise the awareness, focus and resources to address the systemic forces that impact families negatively. The Director will be part of a senior leadership team of PICO CA, and serve as a primary convener and an important resource across the state with the local federations to build an integrated fund development team including local, regional, and state staff and volunteer leaders.
This position will be primarily responsible for ensuring that the Network continues to deepen its existing relationships with the foundation community, as well as diversifying the donor base to promote long-term sustainability of PICO’s organizing work throughout Ca
