Chief Development Officer

The Opportunity

West End House stands at one of the most exciting moments in its 120-year history. The organization is preparing to launch Future Ready 125, a $50 million comprehensive campaign timed to its 125th anniversary in 2031 — a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform facilities, strengthen programs, and build long-term financial resilience. With a transformational lead gift already secured, a proven track record from its prior $23.5 million Expect More campaign, and a deeply engaged board and CEO committed to this vision, the conditions for campaign success are unusually strong. For a seasoned fundraising leader who wants to do the most meaningful work of their career, this is that opportunity.

West End House seeks a dynamic, strategic fundraising leader who is passionate about youth development and eager to leverage their experience to expand and strengthen the organization’s donor base and revenue portfolio. Reporting to the CEO, the Chief Development Officer (“CDO”) will lead efforts to build and sustain a robust pipeline of philanthropic support while fostering a culture of philanthropy across the organization.
