Summary

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) transforms communities by equipping social impact leaders – nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise – with the skills, networks, confidence, and resources they need to effectively lead, advance social change, and make their organizations more effective, innovative, and sustainable.

INP trains thousands of leaders annually through the Core Certificate Program, RISE Program, Leadership Learning Series, Black Leadership Institute, alumni programming, and community convenings.

INP has experienced tremendous, transformative growth in the demand for its leadership programs over the last five years. From an annual operating budget of $2.9 million serving 230 leaders and 1,400 alumni in 2020, INP has matured into a dynamic, growing organization with 28 full-time staff and 58 part-time faculty members, with an annual operating budget of $7.3 million. INP now trains over 500 leaders annually and boasts a national alumni network of over 4,500 leaders.

INP is seeking an experienced and innovative Chief Advancement Officer (CAO) to lead the strategic expansion of INP’s comprehensive advancement program to enable them to increase their impact nationally and realize their aspirations for the future.

Reporting to the President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the CAO will be a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, partnering with the President & CEO, Board of Directors, and a skilled advancement and marketing/communications team to achieve key goals. This is an exciting and important time for the organization and an incredible opportunity for the right person to join INP at a critical inflection point in the social impact sector.

This is a hybrid role, with a special consideration for candidates from the eastern seaboard area. The role will require moderate domestic travel and in-person meetings with the Executive Leadership Team, prospects, donors, and funders.
