SUMMARY
Open Window School is thrilled to announce a national search for a Director of Institutional Advancement and Strategy charged with building a strong and lasting culture of philanthropy to support the school now and in the future. This new leadership role will bring together the current Director of Development, Director of Parent Relations and Community Events, the Development Associate, and the Director of Communications to form a dynamic, community-oriented Advancement Department. Last year, Open Window began a $10M capital campaign that has three primary goals: Access, Excellence, and Opportunity Capital. To get this campaign off the ground, the school has leveraged the support of a leading external consulting firm to design and execute early strategy. Open Window has not undertaken a major philanthropic endeavor like this for over a decade. The Director of Institutional Advancement and Strategy will drive this campaign to a successful completion and lay the foundation for future giving. The school remains committed to a strong focus on community and connection and a set of vibrant annual giving events. The school seeks a strong leader who takes initiative, is community minded, has high EQ, and loves school. The Director of Institutional Advancement and Strategy will report to the Head of School and start in the summer of 2023.
