The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Humane
Society Silicon Valley (HSSV) in the search for a Chief Development
Officer.
Reporting to the President, the Chief Development Officer will set
direction for and ensure the longevity of Humane Society Silicon
Valley by defining and implementing strategies to secure donors and
contributions in support of the organization, providing oversight
of the fund development programs, monitoring development
activities, and addressing issues that may hamper growth and
success. As a key member of HSSV’s Leadership Team, the Chief
Development Officer will partner closely with the President and his
reports, developing strategies to improve donor relations, increase
revenue, and meet financial goals.
Humane Society Silicon Valley has been supporting the community for
over 90 years. It is creating a better future by saving lives,
keeping families together, and changing the game for animals and
their people. Humane Society Silicon Valley is the world’s first
model shelter, gaining the recognition in 2017 after completing all
543 standard-of-care guidelines set by the Association of Shelter
Veterinarians. HSSV is also the first animal community center in
the nation to receive Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certification from the U.S. Green Building
Council. Established in 1929, the organization focuses on rescuing
and preventing homelessness for animals in the Silicon Valley. It
offers pet adoptions, affordable spay/neuter surgeries,
vaccinations, microchipping service, and community outreach
programs such as Pet Pantry and access to affordable veterinary
care.
The life-saving work of Humane Society Silicon Valley is only
possible because of supporters and community volunteers. Through
support from 24,000 generous donors and nearly 4,000 volunteers,
HSSV rescued and placed more than 5,600 animals in loving homes in
2020, all while managing a global pandemic. Investing in regional
rescue partnerships, direct medical support, and spay/neuter
programs ensured that 100% of healthy and treatable animals were
saved.
Over the past 15 years, HSSV has grown significantly in size and
capabilities. It currently employs 140 staff and has an expense
budget of $18 million. It successfully completed a $25 million
capital campaign to build its state-of-the-art Animal Community
Center in 2009 and completed a $59 million comprehensive campaign
that ensured the sustainability of its lifesaving programs.
Humane Society Silicon Valley seeks a Chief Development Officer
with experience designing and implementing comprehensive
fundraising programs in a complex environment and develop a
multi-year fundraising plan including a strategy that is well
supported by data, analysis, and business cases to connect
investments with measurable outcomes. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of Humane Society Silicon Valley and the
responsibilities and qualifications stated in the prospectus.
The Chief Development Officer should have the ability to be on-site
regularly and to meet with donors in the area.
