Stewardship and Engagement Director: Community Foundation

For over 40 years, The Community’s Foundation (TCF) has strengthened the quality of life in the Delaware County region. Founded as the Taylor Community Foundation, TCF connects donors, volunteers, and nonprofits to the causes they care about most, creating lasting impact through grants, programs, and scholarships. Managing more than 50 charitable funds — including Donor Advised Funds, Field of Interest Funds, nonprofit Agency Funds, and fiscal sponsor ships for over two dozen community groups — TCF awards over $1 million each year to support student scholarships, local nonprofits, and community programs.

Through initiatives like the Health Professions Scholarship Program (now in its 25th year) and a broad range of grants, TCF empowers individuals and organizations to give back in meaningful ways while building a stronger, more vibrant, and equitable Delaware County.

You’ll join a mission-driven, collaborative team dedicated to making a lasting impact in Delaware County. At TCF, you’ll work in a supportive environment where creativity, initiative, and community engagement are valued. This role offers the opportunity to lead high-impact donor stewardship and engagement initiatives, shape meaningful programs, and see the direct results of your work in the community. TCF provides flexible hybrid work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and a culture that emphasizes inclusion, respect, and belonging.

In addition, you’ll be part of a small but dynamic organization where your contributions make a visible difference every day.

The Stewardship and Engagement Director leads the strategic development and execution of a comprehensive donor communications and stewardship program. This role is critical to deepening donor relationships, educating audiences about the organization’s impact, and building the foundation for long-term giving.

This individual will develop and implement segmented engagement strategies, oversee the donor database and analytics efforts, and support the President’s work with major donors through customized briefing materials and reporting. The Director will also design and execute the organization’s annual community celebration fundraising event and manage the Database Coordinator to ensure seamless integration between data, strategy, and storytelling.

While TCF is currently hiring for a part-time position, there is potential for it to grow into a full-time role based on the organization’s fundraising success. The scope of work outlined reflects the full vision for the position; however, work plans and deliverables will be appropriately scaled to align with the actual weekly hours committed.
