The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Fistula
Foundation in the search for a Director of Fundraising
Operations.
Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, the Director of
Fundraising Operations will provide strategic oversight of Fistula
Foundation's large and growing donor database, increasing the
Foundation's ability to utilize data and analytics to drive
fundraising success. The Director of Fundraising Operations will
manage an integrated donor database that supports prospect
development, gift administration, systems and records management,
and data analytics for all fundraising activities including
multiple campaigns and giving levels. The position is in San José,
California. Fistula Foundation follows a hybrid work model that
allows staff members to work remotely up to two days per
week.
Fistula Foundation is the global leader in fistula treatment,
providing surgeries to more women than any other organization,
including the U.S. government and United Nations. The Foundation
believes no woman should endure a life of misery and isolation
simply for trying to bring a child into this world.
The Fistula Foundation is the undisputed leader in fistula
treatment and its path-breaking treatment networks in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Zambia are thriving. In
recent years, the Foundation is increasingly finding and treating
women suffering from severe perineal tears and helping women with
this devastating condition accounts for approximately 20% of the
repair surgeries currently provided. Fistula Foundation works to
engage the support of people worldwide who are eager to see a day
when no woman suffers from obstetric fistula or a severe perineal
tear. Raising funds from donors around the globe, Fistula
Foundation strategically directs funds to doctors and hospitals
providing life-transforming surgery in areas of high unmet need.
The goal is to end the needless suffering of women with fistula or
untreated tears, restoring their health and ability to fully
contribute to their families and communities.
Fistula and severe perineal tears are most prevalent in sub-Saharan
Africa and Asia, which is where Fistula Foundation focuses its
efforts. Partnering with carefully selected doctors and hospitals
that are trusted by the communities it serves, the Foundation has
supported treatment in 33 countries, providing more than 75,000
surgeries, in Africa and Asia since 2009. The Foundation works to
identify local surgical teams in Africa and Asia already
successfully treating women with fistula and perineal tears, then
works to amplify their efforts. Funding requests are accepted only
from the very best hospitals and doctors who are trusted by the
communities they serve and are working in areas with the greatest
need. These often happen to be the world’s poorest regions—some in
war zones that significantly challenge the ways doctors can deliver
care.
A significant aspect of the Foundation’s success lies in its
decision to focus on one critical and measurable outcome: repair
surgeries for women injured in childbirth. Fistula Foundation only
supports activities that directly enable the treatment of women
with fistula and severe perineal tears. This focus allows the
Foundation to closely track results and continually improve
efforts. As a lean, “learning” organization, Fistula Foundation
adheres to the highest financial standards; rigorous auditing of
its partners; low administrative costs; and technology-driven
efficiencies.
Fistula Foundation, as an organization dedicated to health equity,
has long valued and advanced inclusion in its organizational
structure and operations, as well as in the design, development,
and implementation of its programs. It knows that diversity,
equity, and inclusion in the workplace are essential to bringing
onboard the rich variety of perspectives and talents that it needs
to confront complex challenges and to succeed in its mission. The
Foundation considers gender equality to be a fundamental human
right and it takes seriously its responsibility to work toward its
fulfillment. Fistula Foundation also recognizes that restrictive
gender norms undermine other fundamental rights, including the
right to good health, which lies at the core of its mission.
Fistula 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 three years of experience
managing nonprofit fundraising databases is preferred. All
applications must be accompanied by a cover letter and résumé.
Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of Fistula
Foundation as well as the responsibilities and qualifications
presented in the prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $120,000 to $140,000 annually
with the potential for performance-based bonuses and
increases.
Preference will be given to applications received by June 19,
2023.
