Philanthropy & Stewardship Officer $70-80k

Blake Bowers

SEATTLE, WA


The Philanthropy & Stewardship Officer is a key member of the philanthropy team and works in collaboration with colleagues across the organization to engage and steward supporters of Waterfront Park. This newly created role is an opportunity to be part of a growing team that is tasked not only with completing a $200M comprehensive campaign, but with building a robust, community-focused philanthropy program that will sustain Waterfront Park in perpetuity.

Reporting to the Associate Chief Philanthropy Officer, the Philanthropy & Stewardship Officer has two core areas of focus: 1) To create and implement a comprehensive donor stewardship and recognition program to support fundraising goals and activities for Friends’ $200M Campaign for Waterfront Park Seattle; and 2) To serve as a gift officer for FWS; identifying, cultivating, and soliciting a portfolio of prospects and donors that generates five-figure+ gifts.

Friends of Waterfront Seattle recognizes and acknowledges historic and existing systemic racism embedded in our city. Friends is committed to becoming an anti-racist organization by prioritizing racial equity inside the organization and in the public spaces we operate. Our goal is to continually cultivate inclusive spaces where all people — specifically Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), as well as underserved communities — are invited and welcome to engage with and enjoy Waterfront Park.

In order to realize a bold vision for community engagement and create spaces where everyone feels safe and valued, Friends believes that DEI work belongs to everyone at the organization and must be integrated into operations at every level.
