The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Frank
Lloyd Wright Foundation in the search for a Major and Corporate
Gifts Officer.
Reporting to the Director of Development, the Major and Corporate
Gifts Officer will develop and implement strategies to enhance the
vision and mission of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation through
financial support. The Major and Corporate Gifts Officer will
expand and manage major and corporate giving programs, as well as
the identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of
prospects capable of making annual gifts of $2,500 to $5,000 and
more, building the major gift threshold over time. The Major and
Corporate Gifts Officer will work collaboratively with members of
the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation advancement team to support a
wide range of fundraising activities and programs as well as
furthering strategic goals and initiatives of the
organization. The Major and Corporate Gifts Officer also will
work with a broad array of Foundation colleagues including
leadership in Administration, Finance, Public Engagement, Marketing
and Communications, and Preservation, as well as build
relationships with volunteers and members of the Board of
Trustees.
For over 80 years, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has been the
world’s leading steward of Wright’s innovative architecture and
ideas. The Foundation uses Wright’s work to inspire people to
discover and embrace architecture for better living through
meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other. The
Foundation is committed to sharing the lasting influence of Frank
Lloyd Wright through preservation, influence, and education.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation preserves the cultural, built,
and natural environments that comprise both the Taliesin and
Taliesin West properties. Every year, more than 130,000 visitors
are welcomed to these UNESCO World Heritage Sites to enjoy the many
public educational and cultural offerings that provide a greater
understanding of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture, ideas, and
influence. The Foundation has a team of specialized staff who
investigate myriad considerations as they approach the important,
and often urgent, work of the care and historic preservation of
these landmark locations along with a collection of over 35,000
works of art, artifacts, and books.
Influencing the growth of architecture, design, and planning by
collaborating with universities, scholars, practitioners, and
industry at the intersection of nature and built environment is
another key aspect of the work of the Frank Lloyd Wright
Foundation. To assist in achieving this goal, the Foundation
launched the Taliesin Institute—a collection of programs to advance
the principles of organic architecture, which was the core of Frank
Lloyd Wright’s work.
Educating a worldwide audience about the continued relevance of
Wright’s architectural and cultural legacy through tours, exhibits,
performances, school and youth programs, and digital engagement is
the third focus of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. Examples of
programming include a book club, monthly Friday night films, and a
conversation series that explores architecture, art, and nature.
The Foundation also uses Wright’s revolutionary design concepts to
educate and inspire people of all ages through hands-on family
activities, youth camps, and field trips that encourage people of
all ages to explore and discover science, technology, engineering,
art, and math concepts. Field trips offer opportunities for
children in grades K-12 to experience the historic site and ignite
their imagination. And for those that can’t visit in person,
virtual classroom experiences provide the ability to learn about
Wright’s famed principles from home with projects that can be
completed at any pace.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation 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
successful experience in major gift fundraising is preferred. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of the Frank
Lloyd Wright Foundation as well as the responsibilities and
qualifications presented in the prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $80,000 to $90,000
annually.
Preference will be given to applications received by June 7,
2023.
