Campaign Director

Coast Mental Health Foundation mobilizes philanthropy to transform how mental health care is delivered in our communities. The Foundation raises funds to support innovative recovery programs, expand housing, and advance major capital initiatives at Coast Mental Health, the largest provider of community-based mental health services in British Columbia and one of Canada’s leading mental health non-profit organizations.

Coast Mental Health Foundation is seeking a skilled and relational fundraising leader to serve as Campaign Director, responsible for executing a significant multi-year comprehensive campaign in support of Coast Mental Health’s mission.

This is a compelling opportunity for a strategic and hands-on fundraiser to lead the implementation of a campaign plan supporting the redevelopment of Coast’s site at 293 East 11th Avenue and related programmatic priorities. Working closely with the Foundation Executive Director, Coast Mental Health CEO, Board leadership, and Campaign Cabinet, the Campaign Director will guide the campaign through the quiet phase, secure leadership-level gifts, and position the organization for a successful public phase.

The successful candidate will be both a strategist and practitioner, advancing prospect strategies, supporting volunteer solicitors, coordinating campaign leadership, and personally cultivating and soliciting major gifts. The role offers the opportunity to strengthen Coast Mental Health Foundation’s long-term fundraising capacity while helping bring forward a once-in-a-generation project designed to improve housing stability, mental health outcomes, and community well-being across Metro Vancouver.

This is a rare and compelling opportunity for a fundraising expert to:

  • Lead the largest comprehensive campaign in the organization’s history, shaping a landmark fundraising effort for one of British Columbia’s most vital mental health organizations. Harness the growing public momentum around mental health, helping to elevate the conversation and inspire meaningful community support.
  • Take full ownership of a transformational campaign, with the autonomy and leadership to design, build, and drive its success.
