Director of Development

The Part-Time Director of Development is responsible for leading and advancing the Academy Art Museum’s philanthropic efforts. Working closely with the Museum Director and the Development Committee of the Board, this role focuses on cultivating major donors, stewarding key relationships, guiding membership strategy, and supporting institutional fundraising initiatives such as annual appeals, grants, and special campaigns.

This strategic, high-level position is ideal for a seasoned development professional seeking a flexible, mission-driven role with meaningful community impact. The Development Director will provide leadership and oversight while working closely with a full-time Development Coordinator, a part-time Membership Coordinator, and a part-time contracted Event Coordinator for implementation support.

This role offers the potential to evolve into a full-time Director of Advancement position as fundraising efforts grow. We are seeking someone who is energized by the opportunity to build a strong foundation and critically evaluate current development models to ensure long-term sustainability.
