The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Executive Director, the Chief Development Officer (CDO) will serve as a key architect of Youth INC’s future financial sustainability and growth. Historically, Youth INC’s fundraising model has been fueled by a dedicated Board and signature events. The next CDO will guide the organization through a critical evolution, shifting from an almost exclusive reliance on events and Board-driven contributions toward a diversified revenue portfolio with greater emphasis on major and principal gifts, foundation partnerships, and corporate philanthropy.
This role is ideally suited for a strategic and entrepreneurial development leader who thrives in high-level donor engagement, particularly with high-net-worth individuals and family offices, including Wall Street executives. The successful candidate will be a creative problem solver, an adept motivator and manager, and an intellectually curious leader who inspires confidence and trust. CDO will embody a growth mindset, embrace adaptability, and serve as both a visionary strategist and a hands-on fundraiser to foster stronger donor engagement, extend our reach, and allow us to achieve a greater impact.
