The Rabbi Arthur Schneier Park East Day School, a Nursery-Grade 8 school, is synonymous with excellence. Although serious and successful fundraising has been conducted at the School over the course of many years, it has been carried out informally. We are now about to establish a formal fundraising structure complete with the critical elements of a sound development program. At the same time, we must launch a capital campaign to support an exciting physical and curricular expansion.
We seek an experienced and seasoned fundraising professional with a “roll up your sleeves and can-do attitude,” to help us accomplish these objectives. The successful candidate will have a passion for The School’s mission, the ambition, dedication, proven capability and creativity needed to build a successful fundraising capacity from the ground up, be able to develop strategic plans, and be able to identify new sources of funding. A bachelor’s degree with a minimum of five years of progressive development experience is required; significant experience within the New York City Jewish fundraising community is preferred and prior experience at a Jewish Day School is a definite plus. Excellent written and oral communication skills, and a mastery of donor management software (Raiser’s Edge/e-tapestry) are essential.
