The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Network for
Teaching Entrepreneurship in the search for a Development Director,
South.
Reporting to the Chief Advancement Officer, the Development
Director, South will lead fundraising for the South, focused
primarily on Texas. The Development Director will join the national
development team and work closely with the regional program team.
The Development Director will support, build, and implement an
annual fundraising program for the South as well as participate in
national and multi-regional donor relationships in support of the
organization’s overall annual contributions revenue goals. This is
a fully remote position based in Texas. Proximity to the

Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) is a global
educational nonprofit focused on bringing the power of
entrepreneurship to youth in low-income communities. NFTE ignites
the entrepreneurial mindset with unique learning experiences that
empower students to own their futures. The NFTE community is a
diverse group that includes boards made up of business and
community leaders, academics, and entrepreneurs. Its staff includes
experienced educators, curriculum designers, program managers, and
workforce development experts. NFTE supporters are just as
diverse—ranging from individual donors to philanthropic foundations
to global corporations.
NFTE works with a variety of public and private sector partners to
bring its unique brand of experiential, project-based learning to
young people. Learners engaged with NFTE are taught by a highly
trained Teacher Corps, coached by a dedicated Volunteer Corps, and
rewarded by opportunities to earn scholarships and seed capital at
a series of annual business plan and pitch competitions. NFTE
programs are run in schools, churches, community centers,
libraries, and other institutional settings—as well as online. The
programs operate in dozens of U.S. states, and 18 countries around
the world. Since its founding more than 30 years ago, NFTE has
trained thousands of teachers and educated more than a million
young people globally.
Through community partnerships, NFTE introduces entrepreneurship
education to under-represented learners. Using its evidence-based,
award-winning curriculum, NFTE walks learners through the process
of creating their own business idea, thus helping students build
the skills needed to plan and launch a startup. Students are also
introduced to the full range of jobs and occupations available to
them and are exposed to new career paths through their work with
NFTE. This experience helps students develop an entrepreneurial
mindset, learning to think and act like entrepreneurs and
demonstrating essential skills like initiative and self-reliance;
flexibility and adaptability, critical thinking and problem
solving; communication and collaboration; creativity and
innovation; opportunity recognition; and future orientation.
NFTE is an equity-driven organization that works to empower youth
and combat inequities in education, the economy, and the broader
society. It offers a diverse and inclusive workplace as an integral
part of its culture. NFTE actively welcomes people of different
backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives.
NFTE will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds. A
bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience and at least five years of experience in fundraising as
a generalist across corporate, foundation, and individual giving,
events, and board development is preferred. All applications must
be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should
be responsive to the mission of Network for Teaching
Entrepreneurship as well as the responsibilities and qualifications
presented in the prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $95,000 to $120,000
annually.
Preference will be given to applications received by April 21,
