This is a pivotal leadership opportunity to shape the voice, visibility, and market position of a dynamic, multi-campus institution serving nearly 28,000 students annually.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a build, scale, and lead role.
The SAFE Alliance (SAFE) is one of the largest nonprofit organizations in Central Texas, operating at the intersection of crisis response, prevention, housing stability, and long-term healing. With an annual operating budget of approximately $30M and philanthropy as a critical revenue driver, SAFE is poised for its next phase of growth.
The Chief Development Officer will partner directly with the CEO, Board of Directors, and Executive Leadership Team to build a high-performing, accountable development function that can sustain and expand SAFE's impact across the region.
This leader will be responsible for both delivering near-term revenue results and building the long-term systems and strategy required to scale philanthropy.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why This Role, Why Now
SAFE has strong community credibility, mission urgency, and programmatic scale. The organization is already operating at meaningful size and impact-but the development function has not yet reached the level of discipline, infrastructure, and performance required to sustain the next phase of growth.
This role exists to close that gap.
The next phase of SAFE's trajectory requires more than incremental improvement. It requires building a development function that is both high performing in the near term and structurally sound for long-term scale. That means delivering revenue today while putting in place the systems, processes, and expectations that make growth repeatable.
This role is designed to:
Build a disciplined, data-informed, and scalable fundraising engine from a partially developed foundation
Expand major and principal gift capacity while strengthening donor strategy and execution
Establish the systems, tools, and processes required for consistent performance and accountability
Activate the CEO and Board more fully in fundraising through shared ownership of relationships
Align development, marketing, communications, and external engagement into a cohesive external strategy
Prepare the organization for ongoing capital needs and future campaign opportunities
This is a defining leadership role at a pivotal moment-requiring a leader who can build, execute, and partner at a high level simultaneously.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Growth Mandate & Revenue Accountability
This role carries clear responsibility for both fundraising performance and long-term revenue growth.
The Chief Development Officer is expected to deliver measurable results in the near term while building the systems, strategy, and relationships required for sustained growth over time.

Build and manage a major and principal gift portfolio targeting gifts of $25,000 to $250,000+
