Major Gifts Director

 The Holdsworth Center


With the success of its first cohorts and the opening of its campus on Lake Austin, the Holdsworth Center has been in a unique position to scale its existing programs while innovating along the way in response to a constantly changing landscape. Consequently, the Holdsworth Center seeks a Major Gifts Director who believes in the promise of public schools to deliver excellent and equitable results for students, and who believes their unique skills and inner purpose would be a great match for Holdsworth’s mission, culture and values. As a statewide organization, Holdsworth has gained traction in markets outside of Austin and requires a talented and dynamic fundraising professional to capture that momentum as Major Gifts Director. Leveraging a committed senior staff and board of directors, the successful executive will cultivate, solicit, and steward gifts of $25,000 and above to fund Holdsworth’s scaling programs. The role requires comfort in high-visibility
situations, the ability to adapt within an entrepreneurial environment, and a proven track record of raising funds from high-net-worth individuals.
