The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the
Translational Genomics Research Institute Foundation (TGen) in the
search for a Director of Development.
Reporting to the Vice President of Individual Giving, the Director
of Development will secure individual gifts of $25,000 and above
for the philanthropic goals of TGen. The Director of Development
will be charged with program building including a sustainable
pipeline and approach for overall portfolio health. The Director of
Development will undertake mission-focused qualification,
cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of donors and will
develop productive relationships with volunteers, faculty, and
staff, engaging them in substantive activities to identify new
prospects and leverage existing prospect relationships. Through the
development and implementation of best practices, the Director of
Development will contribute to TGen’s overall focus on a
best-in-class fundraising operation.
The Translational Genomics Research Institute is dedicated to
conducting groundbreaking research with life changing results. TGen
is focused on helping patients with neurological disorders, cancer,
diabetes, and infectious diseases through cutting edge,
translational, bench-to-bedside research. TGen physicians and
scientists work to unravel the genetic components of both common
and rare complex diseases in adults and children. Working with
collaborators in the scientific and medical communities worldwide,
TGen makes a substantial contribution to its patients through
efficiency and effectiveness of the translational process.
TGen has joined forces with City of Hope to accelerate the speed
with which scientists and medical staff convert research
discoveries into cures for patients. The alliance is based on a
simple premise: City of Hope provides a state-of-the-art clinical
setting in which to advance genomic breakthroughs made by TGen. It
is a collaboration that plays to the strengths of each
organization. City of Hope is a pioneer in the fields of bone
marrow transplantation, hematologic malignancies, select solid
tumors, and diabetes. TGen, meanwhile, is a leader in applying
genomic analysis and bioinformatics to drug development. Together,
they are transforming the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of
cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Raising the philanthropic resources to fuel leading-edge research,
compassionate clinical care, and the advancement of biomedical
education and training is a vital component of the TGen/City of
Hope model of success. The two philanthropic foundations
collaborate on philanthropic goals, and the Chief Development
Officer of TGen Foundation reports to the Chief Philanthropy
Officer at City of Hope. The shared culture is one of
collaboration, accountability, and activation.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of relevant experience. Experience in biomedical
sciences, health care or a complex medical or academic development
setting is encouraged. All applications must be accompanied by a
cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission of the Translational Genomics Research Institute Foundation
– to positively impact the lives of patients and their families –
as well as the responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
