Associate Director, Principal Gift Development

Posted on September 28, 2022

The Nature Conservancy is seeking an experienced, innovative, and driven fundraiser to identify, network with and engage new-to-TNC, ultra-high net worth philanthropists in the Greenwich and Fairfield County market. This fundraiser will be a key member of both the Connecticut philanthropy team and TNC’s global wealth markets team — a cross-cutting global team spanning eleven key wealth markets across the world.

This is a new role supporting TNC’s Global Wealth Market Initiative. This global effort is focused on fully realizing our philanthropic market potential in eleven key wealth markets around the world by building our Principal Gift level prospect base in and from these markets. The fundraiser will be fully focused on Principal Gift level prospect identification and qualification, engaging ultra-high net worth, global citizens in TNC with the goal of building lasting, long-term relationships with these prospective donors.

The Associate Director will work closely with our prospect development team, philanthropy operations team, key volunteer leaders, other TNC fundraisers, and senior leaders from across the Conservancy to identify and build relationships with new prospective donors in the Greenwich and Fairfield County market. The goal is to qualify prospects who are interested in engaging with TNC (while disqualifying those who are not interested) and to develop and execute adapted strategies for each qualified individual, ultimately building a strong relationship between TNC and each prospect.
