What are your main responsibilities within your role?
As director, I am responsible for overseeing a team of three that I lead in securing $20 million in philanthropic resources from corporate foundation and government partners.
On a day-to-day basis, this means I am setting the strategy for the team. I am a leading partner in relationship management, and I also coordinate with other departments across the organization. This ensures we understand organizational priorities and connect external resources to fund the work.
