Full Job Description

Geneva Lake Conservancy is seeking a strategic, relationship-driven Development Director to lead and grow a comprehensive fundraising program at a pivotal moment for land and water conservation in Walworth County and beyond.

Since 1977, GLC has protected the glacial lakes, forests, wetlands, working farmlands, and scenic corridors of Walworth County and its surrounding area. Today, we protect 3,745 acres through conservation easements, land ownership, and partnerships, while engaging the community through public nature preserves and programs such as Conservation@Home and Keep It Blue.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraising leader to build lasting donor relationships, strengthen board and community engagement, and help scale annual contributed revenue from approximately $1 million toward $2–3 million over the next five years.

In this role, you will:

Lead a multi-year fundraising strategy aligned with GLC’s mission, growth goals, and conservation priorities.
Manage and grow a portfolio of major donors, including cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of five- and six-figure gifts.
Partner with the Executive Director and Board members on donor strategy, prospect development, and fundraising committee engagement.
Oversee grants, foundation and corporate partnerships, fundraising events, donor communications, and development operations.
Supervise and support one full-time development staff member while helping foster a positive, accountable, mission-driven team culture.

We’re looking for someone who brings:

5–7+ years of progressive nonprofit fundraising experience, with demonstrated success securing major gifts.
Strong relationship-building skills and comfort working with donors, board members, volunteers, staff, and community partners.
Experience developing fundraising plans, managing donor pipelines, writing grants, and using CRM systems to track progress and results.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, sound judgment, and a collaborative leadership style.
Interest in land conservation, environmental stewardship, community impact, or mission-driven nonprofit work.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Salary range: $85,000–$110,000, commensurate with experience.
Benefits include up to 3% employer retirement match, monthly healthcare stipend, cell phone stipend, paid time off, and professional development.

HOW TO APPLY
Interested candidates should submit a resume and cover letter describing their fundraising experience, leadership approach, and interest in Geneva Lake Conservancy’s mission. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority consideration given to materials received by August 14, 2026. Please send application materials to Executive Director, Ashley Hatley Caruso at [email protected].
