The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the
Lifespace Foundation in the search for a Vice President of
Philanthropy.
Reporting to the President and CEO, the Vice President of
Philanthropy will be responsible for the leadership, strategic
direction, financial performance, and operational results of the
Lifespace Foundation, overseeing all fundraising activities for the
Lifespace Foundation and Lifespace Communities, which include more
than 5,100 residents throughout 15 communities in eight states. The
Vice President will provide leadership for the creation of
strategic fund development initiatives including major and planned
giving programs, annual giving, donor stewardship and recognition
programs, management of volunteer leadership, public relations
related to fund development, and the development of campus-based
campaign strategies.
The Lifespace Foundation, established in 1992, serves as the
charitable arm of Lifespace Communities, Inc. The Foundation has
evolved into the multi-dimensional organization that it is today,
fulfilling its mission to support the health and welfare of its
residents through philanthropy. It was once believed that a
senior living community should be the next best thing to being
home. Lifespace Communities believes it must be more than the next
best thing: It must really be home. When a resident joins a
Lifespace Community, they move into a new home in a new
“neighborhood.” Their floor plans may change and the lawn may not
need their personal attention but the feeling is still the same of
being part of a community and wanting to be a good neighbor. For
nearly three decades, the Lifespace Foundation has been providing
tax-deductible charitable opportunities for residents, team
members, family, and friends who are inspired to enhance the lives
of those in these communities and to be a part of “neighbors
helping neighbors” and “friends helping friends.”
Through the unwavering promise of benevolent care, if a Lifespace
resident outlives their financial resources, through no fault of
their own, the organization will continue to support and care for
that resident the remainder of their life. In addition to
benevolent care, there are also funds that support the social,
intellectual, spiritual, and physical needs of all residents. In
addition, the Foundation provides educational and emergency
financial support for its team members to allow for continuous
exceptional care for its residents. The Lifespace Foundation is
able to make a difference in the lives of seniors and their
families thanks to the generous support of its residents, team
members, family, friends, and corporate sponsors of Lifespace
Communities.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position, as is at least
seven years of progressively responsible fundraising experience.
Experience as the leader of a foundation is preferred. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should express a commitment to the mission of
Lifespace Communities – to create communities that celebrate the
lives of seniors.
