Director of Development

The Gloucester Adventure, Inc. (“Schooner Adventure” or “Adventure”) is a 501(c)(3) maritime historic preservation and educational organization. We are the stewards of the 1926 dory-fishing Schooner Adventure, a National Historic Landmark. Our mission focuses on preserving the vessel, and using her for educational and community experiences on the water and dockside.

In this small and growing organization, the Director of Development is responsible for planning and directing all of Schooner Adventure’s fundraising endeavors including the annual fund, membership program, major gifts, special events, planned giving, and implementing the donor management software to support the function. Reporting to and in partnership with the Executive Director, the Director of Development will spearhead development efforts as Schooner Adventure continues to transition and grow.
