Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with The
Nightingale-Bamford School in the search for a Director of
Institutional Advancement.
Reporting to the Head of School, the Director of Institutional
Advancement will serve as the chief fundraiser for The
Nightingale-Bamford School and will be responsible for establishing
and implementing strategic fundraising goals for the advancement
office that are in alignment with Nightingale's mission and
strategic plan, in collaboration with the Board of Trustees, the
Advancement Committee, and the Head of School. The Director will be
responsible for the oversight and growth of the school’s annual
fund, major and leadership giving, alumni relations and outreach,
and capital campaign, and will lead, manage, and inspire a positive
culture of fundraising with donor constituents, trustees, and
Nightingale’s internal community.
Founded by two bold, visionary educators in 1920, The
Nightingale-Bamford School’s mission is to inspire girls to go
beyond barriers. Tied to this mission is a broader vision of
students who are joyful learners who have the intellectual depth
and courage to be critical thinkers, compassionate citizens, and
agents of their own lives. Nightingale educates girls’ minds and
hearts and, in so doing, infuses their lives with meaningful
relationships, teaching them to value difference as a means of
growth, and empowering them to question the status quo with
confidence, empathy, resilience, and reason.
Nightingale enters its second century in full embrace of the
philosophy established by its founders. Led by a fully-engaged and
student-focused faculty and administration, Nightingale graduates
will be ready for whatever the world presents to them. From the
moment each girl enters the blue doors, they are acknowledged,
understood, and valued. They are encouraged by Nightingale’s
inclusive community to advocate for themself, have empathy for
others, and take intellectual risks. Nightingale aspires for no
student to attend Nightingale anonymously.
To give students opportunities to embrace and celebrate the
diversity of cultures, languages, and identities in the community
and the world, and become engaged global citizens, Nightingale
emboldened its modern language instruction, expanded its
international travel program, and created opportunities for its
students to participate in exchanges around the world. Recognizing
there are areas where girls need to be empowered, Nightingale
integrated STEM and STEAM concepts throughout its curriculum from
K-XII. It clarified its vision and strategy around athletics and
physical education to focus on the health and wellness of the
entire child, body, and mind.
The success and strength of Nightingale’s educational experience
depend on the collective voices of its diverse community.
Nightingale seeks to foster an environment that is diverse,
equitable, and inclusionary, and where all community members are
recognized and valued. It is committed to increasing diversity in
the schoolhouse, including among the student body and the faculty
and staff and on the Board of Trustees. Nightingale's goal is to
value relationship-building as the pathway to appreciating
diversity and building inclusion.
Generations of Nightingale alumnae have led lives of meaning, a
testament to the power of its founders’ vision. Ensuring that the
same opportunities exist for future generations of students is of
primary importance. Thus, Nightingale is committed to maintaining
wise stewardship of its financial resources, planning now for a
sustainable future, including fostering a philanthropy culture that
supports Nightingale’s current program and its vision for the
future.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of experience in a leadership position directing
fundraising efforts for philanthropic or nonprofit mission directed
organizations. All applications must be accompanied by a cover
letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission of The Nightingale-Bamford School as well as the
responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
The salary for this position is $250,000 annually. The
Nightingale-Bamford School offers a comprehensive package of
benefits.
