Here's a summary of responsibilities:
The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) is a nonprofit organization and is one of the only National Olympic & Paralympic Committees in the world that does not receive government funding for its Olympic & Paralympic programs, instead relying on the generosity of a committed community of donors and sponsors. Increasing philanthropic support for U.S. athletes is one of the USOPC’s highest strategic priorities and hence, the organization has established the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation (USOPF) as the fundraising organization for the USOPC and is investing significant resources in its Development division.
The Manager is responsible for generating significant support for Team USA, through facilitating the major gift program in Southern California with emphasis on the Los Angeles and Orange County regions. The Manager will be responsible for identifying, cultivating, and soliciting major gift prospects (individuals) and participating in donor stewardship activities in the Southern California region. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Philanthropic Giving, the Manager will manage a portfolio of approximately 150 prospects, in Southern California, capable of making a gift of $250,000+. Some prospects may have demonstrated interest in the Olympic and Paralympic Movements and have an established giving history to the USOPF; the majority of the portfolio will need to be discovered and/or developed by the Manager.
Here’s how you’ll have an impact:
In consultation with the Sr. Director, Philanthropic Giving, establish an annual operating plan for the assigned portfolio, with measurable performance objectives, that aligns with the USOPC’s fundraising goals and priorities. Participate in assessing progress toward regional objectives and adjust plan, as necessary. Annual goals will start at a minimum $1M raised and increase over time.
Successfully manage a major gift portfolio of approximately 150 prospects and an auxiliary portfolio of 200 prospects to meet philanthropic goals for the region.
In consultation with the Strategic Advancement team, identify major gift prospects capable of supporting the USOPF with significant charitable gifts (min. $100,000+). Cultivate identified prospects via in-person visits (min. 120 annually), telephone and email communication, and engagement opportunities such as special events.
Solicit prospects for significant charitable gifts (goals starting at $1M annually) to support the vision and mission of the USOPC and USOPF.
Engage in activities that focus on donor-centered philanthropy to maximize potential gifts over the long-term, eg. partnering with the stewardship and engagement teams to steward donors via a variety of communications and experiences, including attendance at the Games.
Ensure that all activities are entered in the fundraising database to guarantee the quality of communication and donor records.
Engage a network of volunteers to achieve regional and programmatic goals. Work with USOPF Board Members, Trustees and NextGen Council members to effectively assist efforts in identifying, cultivating, and soliciting major gift prospects.
In collaboration with the Strategic Advancement team, utilize the USOPF’s technology and research resources to identify, cultivate and solicit qualified prospects. Serve as a champion technology user alongside the Sr. Director.
Serve as a key fundraising contact for the region. Coordinate and implement special projects, events and perform other duties as assigned.
Demonstrate accountability and transparency that is consistent with USOPC expectations as a steward of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements.
Perform other duties as assigned.
