Development director -- Boise ID
Career Opportunity in Beautiful Boise, Idaho!
Live, work, and play in Idaho’s Treasure Valley. Known as the “City of Trees,” Boise is Idaho’s capital city—both a cultural center and a playground for those who love the outdoors. A vibrant downtown area affords fine dining, theatre, music, and college and semi-professional sports. The Greenbelt follows the beautiful Boise River corridor for more than 30 miles, and the Boise foothills are home to miles of hiking and biking trails.
About the You we are looking for:
You are a polished development professional with extensive sales and fundraising experience. You understand how to navigate the who’s who of the donor world to find the right alignment of interests and passion for giving. You can build rapport with anyone, anytime, anywhere, and know how to maintain relationships in a way that makes others feel valued and informed, but not overwhelmed by aggressive pressure.
You work collaboratively with the Executive Director, Board of Directors, and Leadership Team to create and implement fundraising strategies that will increase the agency’s support from major donors, including individuals, corporations, foundations, and other sources.

You can translate that to anyone with an interest in our work, and are looking to be part of a team-oriented organization where you can be proud of the work and services you represent.
You find prospective donors, draw them into the mission and work of Catholic Charities, share the stories of those we serve, and promote our vision of ending poverty. While you have plenty of support from the team, you need to be internally motivated to meet fundraising goals. This is an individual contributor position with the potential to help shape and grow a larger development department in the future.
