Amherst, Massachusetts
Fall 2011
The Yiddish Book Center seeks a Director of Endowment and Planned Giving to join a dynamic cultural organization and to play a lead role in its fundraising program. The Center is a 31 year-old nonprofit dedicated to celebrating modern Jewish and Yiddish culture by rescuing endangered Yiddish books and opening them to new generations through education and visitor programs. Housed in an architecturally distinctive building adjacent to the campus of Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, the Center offers an intellectually stimulating, reflective, and creative environment where you can greatly enrich your life and your career.
The Director of Endowment and Planned Giving will partner with the President, Executive Director, and Director of Development to develop and execute a plan to significantly increase the Center’s endowment. The Center has identified great untapped potential deferred giving potential among its current donor pool and has created this new role to lead the strategy and implementation of a formal planned giving program. The Director will be responsible for identifying, cultivating, soliciting and stewarding 5- and 6- figure gifts in support of expanding the endowment. A strong appreciation for and commitment to the Center’s mission, values and goals and a minimum of seven years’ planned giving experience are required.
