The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the New York
Academy of Medicine (NYAM) in the search for a Chief Development
Officer.
Reporting to the President, the Chief Development Officer will
plan, direct, and execute a range of fundraising activities
including major gifts, corporate and foundation relations, annual
fund, special events, and planned giving. The Chief Development
Officer will lead the organization's overall fundraising strategy
while playing a major role in identifying, cultivating, and
soliciting major donors and growing the corporate and foundation
funding base. The Chief Development Officer will coordinate and
collaborate with departments across the Academy, in particular
Communications, Research, the Fellows Office, and the world-class
NYAM Library. NYAM currently work in a hybrid situation; however,
the role of Chief Development Officer will require a substantial
on-site presence in the New York City office.
The New York Academy of Medicine is a leading voice for innovation
in public health. Throughout its 176-year history, NYAM has
uniquely championed bold changes to the systems that perpetuate
health inequities and keep all communities from achieving good
health. Today, this work includes innovative research and policy
initiatives that distinctively value community input for maximum
impact. Combined with NYAM’s trusted public programming and
historic library, and with the support of esteemed Fellows and
Members, NYAM’s impact as a public health leader continues.
Since 1847, the New York Academy of Medicine has dedicated itself
to improving the health of the people of the city, the state, and
beyond. Milestones in the work of NYAM include improvements and
focus in many key areas—city sanitation, maternal mortality,
children’s health, and healthy aging, among other topics. NYAM
helped create the field of urban health, and publishes a leading
journal, The Journal of Urban Health, which just
celebrated its 100th volume.
The New York Academy of Medicine is committed to addressing the
root causes of health inequities and changing the systems that
prevent everyone from having an equal shot at a healthy life. The
organization’s research, programs, and policy initiatives uniquely
put community voices at the core to advance health for all.
Focusing on social, environmental, and institutional factors that
influence health, the NYAM team collaborates with partners in
academic institutions, government agencies, and community-based
organizations to evaluate and promote policies, programs, and
community needs related to health equity.
Addressing inequities is the centerpiece of NYAM's mission. Because
health equity is unequivocally tied to systemic racism, NYAM fully
embraces addressing social justice issues to achieve its vision
where everyone can live a healthy life. NYAM is conducting its work
in focused ways to help address systemic racism and structural
oppression—ways that build access for
individuals and communities whose voices have not been heard and
whose influence has not been fully realized.
Assets and income at NYAM include an investment portfolio of over
$56 million, grants and contracts awarded over the past five years
totaling $27.5 million, one of the most distinguished libraries of
the history of medicine and public health in the world, and NYAM’s
iconic building on Museum Mile in New York City. NYAM’s annual
budget is $13 million.
The New York Academy of Medicine will consider candidates with a
broad range of backgrounds. A bachelor's degree or an equivalent
combination of education and experience is required, and at least
ten years of direct fundraising experience in the metropolitan New
York City area is highly preferred. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of the New York Academy of Medicine as
well as the responsibilities and qualifications presented in the
prospectus.
The salary range for this position is $210,000 to $238,000
annually.
