Covenant House Vancouver

Covenant House Vancouver is an essential institution in Vancouver, supporting street youth and other people in need through a variety of life-sustaining and harm-reducing programs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.  CHV supports young people, aged 16–24, who are experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, youth who are experiencing human trafficking, and youth in need.  Its mission is to champion every young person’s right to health and well-being and provide a continuum of programs and services to support youth on their journey to dream of a brighter future.

Covenant House Vancouver is predominantly funded by an amazing group of passionate supporters – over 50,000 in number last year – who believe in its vision and work, and in fact, they provide the large majority of CHV’s budget.

CHV has grown significantly in recent years, including a major campaign that allowed for significant new buildings and upgrades, and has allowed for significant growth in impact in its programs. This recent growth, combined with its significant capacity to deepen community support, has led  Covenant House to create and recruit a Director, Donor Engagement and Operations to integrate, enable, and support best practices across its entire philanthropic program. This new leadership role will be a key player on the philanthropic leadership group as one of three Directors that report to the Chief Philanthropy Officer.

The Director will ensure strategic and thoughtful case and priority project development, work closely with fundraisers and strategies for major donors, and ensure back-of-house operations related to stewardship, recognition, and donor services are thoughtfully curated, effective, and efficient.  The Director will join an incredible team of 40 fundraising staff who raise $20 million every year.

This is a compelling opportunity for a generalist fundraiser with a passion for systems to:

• Join an organization with an incredible reputation doing impactful front-line work;
• Be a leader of one of Vancouver‘s most inspired and mission-driven philanthropic teams that truly values the whole person;
• Bring their fundraising expertise to hone and elevate an already high-functioning team;
• Convene and organize key support functions programs in support of philanthropy.
