The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) believes our Earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
For more than 50 years, LCV has grown into a potent political force for protecting our planet and everyone who inhabits it. We work to elect climate and democracy champions, and hold elected officials accountable to deliver on the ambitious change the public wants and science demands. We have built a powerful national movement with 30 state affiliates, with highly effective and impactful grassroots and community organizing programs across the country. Core to all of this work is our commitment to advance racial justice and equity.
At LCV, we approach our work through our organizational values -- accountability, anti-racism, community, innovation, learning, and sustainability -- and we are seeking a leader who will help us maintain and expand our fundraising efforts with a deep commitment to these values.
The SVP of Development is a key leadership position that reports to the President, works closely with the Board of Directors and serves on the Executive Team. The SVP of Development will have the exciting opportunity to lead the largest department at LCV in raising over $100 Million+ annually through a combination of membership, major gifts, institutional giving, and special events fundraising.
The SVP is responsible for overseeing the strategic direction of our fundraising efforts, ensuring that we set ambitious yet achievable goals by providing leadership, vision, and evaluation of the Development department's performance, as well as managing relationships with some of our most important donors. The SVP will lead a skilled and growing team of over 40 development professionals in achieving the organization’s revenue goals, increasing income, and engaging more individuals and institutions in the work and values of LCV (501c4) and related entities, including LCV Education Fund (501c3), LCV Victory Fund (SuperPAC), LCV Action Fund (PAC), GiveGreen (Candidate fundraising), and the broader network of 30 state affiliates collectively called the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM).
The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record of overseeing sizable fundraising departments with varied and complex revenue streams, be a creative and thoughtful leader with demonstrated skills as a strong manager of people and systems, and have the ability to plan for and respond to growth. The SVP will need to have a deep commitment to protecting the environment and democracy and a dedication to centering racial justice and equity in all aspects of their work.
