They seek a bold and talented individual with a track record of developing relationships and partnerships resulting in significantly increased revenue.
ABOUT LIFEMOVES:
Since 1987, LifeMoves has been a nimble, results-driven organization whose mission has been to provide interim housing and supportive services that create opportunities to aid in the rapid return to stable housing and long-term self-sufficiency. Last year, LifeMoves returned over 2,000 people to housing and stability for 86% of families and 67% of individuals who engaged in their programs. With 26 shelter and service sites from Daly City to San Jose, LifeMoves provides its neighbors experiencing homelessness a temporary place to call home while providing intensive, customized case management through both site-based programs and community outreach that teaches and reinforces skills that clients need to return to and sustain stable housing.
LifeMoves embodies the entrepreneurial energy of an emerging growth company. The executive team is committed to employee satisfaction and the ongoing development of a work culture and environment that increases and maintains morale, productivity, and engagement. They have a pipeline of bold projects designed to drive transformative impact on the community with public sector partners such as Google, Facebook, CZI, Kaiser, Tipping Point, Sobrato Philanthropies, and many others ready to collaborate on new opportunities to grow capacity and looks to LifeMoves to secure private funds.
POSITION OVERVIEW:
LifeMoves is currently developing plans for a multi-phase capital campaign aimed at adding crucial, flexible capacity in the near-term and new, next-generation interim housing within the next three to five years. The building blocks are in place for LifeMoves to scale, and the new Vice President, Philanthropy will be critical to the campaign’s success. LifeMoves operating budget has nearly doubled in the last four years to its current $50M, of which 40% comes from contributed, philanthropic support and the remaining from government contracts. The Vice President, Philanthropy will provide support as needed to sustain contributed revenue but will focus their energies in FY22-23 toward radically increasing and securing six- and seven-figure gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations.
Reporting to the VP of Philanthropy, Head of Principal Gifts Team, the Vice President, Philanthropy will integrate amongst a talented, high-achieving Development team as the work alongside a strategic, laser-focused group of Philanthropy VPs. The Vice President will be integral to shaping strategies that advance capital and operating campaigns and connect the dots between LifeMoves strategies and the interests of donors, partners, and public stakeholders. The Vice President will have a strong business sensibility and a dealmaker’s ability to persuasively convey LifeMoves expertise, outcomes, capacity to scale, and how private funding generates transformative, visible outcomes. The Vice President will have the gravitas and grace to successfully interact with astute philanthropists, C-suite executives, and leaders in the public sector. The Vice President will identify and cultivate new relationships with high-net-worth individuals, corporations, and private foundations, as well as steward current principal/capital donors and partners.
