Job description

Director Of Individual Giving

When disaster strikes, World Central Kitchen moves. Within hours, our teams are on the ground, cooking, serving, and bringing relief to communities in crisis. That kind of rapid, relentless response doesn't happen without people who believe in the power of a meal, and donors who are ready to act the moment we call.

That's where you come in.

As Director of Individual Giving, you will lead one of WCK's most critical funding streams, one that represents over half of our annual revenue. You will build and deepen relationships with the major donors, family foundations, and individual supporters whose generosity makes our global mission possible. You will lead a talented, passionate team. And you will help ensure that when the next disaster hits, WCK has the resources to respond fast.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage the status quo. It's for someone who wants to build something, grow something, and do it in service of one of the most impactful humanitarian organizations in the world.

Lead With Vision And Relationships

  • Own a high-value portfolio of major donors and family foundations, driving growth through authentic cultivation, bold solicitation, and meaningful stewardship.
  • Build a robust, ever-evolving pipeline of prospective and recurring donors, thinking long-term about sustainable revenue even as you respond to real-time needs.
  • Represent WCK at events, conferences, and speaking engagements as a senior ambassador who brings our mission to life in every room.

Drive Revenue Strategy

  • Develop and execute ambitious annual and multi-year revenue plans across major, mid-level, and recurring giving, and lead the launch of WCK's planned giving program.
  • Partner with Development leadership to ensure Individual Giving is fully aligned with organizational priorities and ready to surge when disaster response demands it.
  • Use data, insights, and a strategic eye to continuously refine your approach and seize new opportunities.

Build And Inspire A High-Performing Team

  • Lead the Individual Giving team with clarity, energy, and accountability, setting priorities, OKRs, and a culture of shared ownership.
  • Coach and develop your team members, investing in their growth as much as the program's.
  • Foster a collaborative, mission-first environment where people do their best work.

Collaborate Across WCK

  • Serve as the primary voice for individual and major giving in cross-functional strategy discussions, campaigns, and organizational planning.
  • Partner with Marketing and Communications to craft donor communications that are compelling, consistent, and true to WCK's voice.
