Development Director

Remote/Hybrid
(East Coast/Mid-Atlantic Region)

REPRO Rising Virginia (RRVA) is pleased to seek applications and nominations for the position of Development Director. As Virginia’s only independent, state-based reproductive freedom advocacy organization, RRVA plays a pivotal role in protecting and advancing reproductive rights and fighting for increased access to reproductive healthcare throughout the Commonwealth. With a dedicated team and strong community partnerships, RRVA is at a critical moment of transformation and growth as it seeks to focus its impact and adapt to the evolving post-Roe landscape.

The Development Director is an essential strategic leader within RRVA and is responsible for driving fundraising initiatives that support the organization’s mission and programs. This role is instrumental in mobilizing resources to protect reproductive rights and healthcare access in Virginia, particularly in the post-Roe era, where advocacy and support are crucial. The Development Director will have at least 5 years of development experience, along with 2 or more years of supervisory experience managing staff or consultants, and they will engage with donors and foundation funders, telling RRVA’s story and galvanizing support for the organization’s critical and timely work.

With the balance of power in the Virginia legislature and access to reproductive freedom at stake in the 2025 election, the Development Director will play a crucial role in advancing RRVA's advocacy, organizing, political, and electoral efforts. This involves spearheading comprehensive fundraising strategies for RRVA’s 501(c)(4), 501(c)(3), and PAC programs. The Development Director will leverage membership drives, major donor cultivation, online campaigns, foundation grants, and special events to secure the resources needed to advance RRVA’s mission.

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Development Director will oversee all aspects of fundraising and donor communications, collaborating closely with the Development Associate, Executive Director, and grant-writing contractor. The Director will ensure that RRVA secures consistent and adequate funding to fulfill its mission of protecting and expanding reproductive freedom in Virginia. This role requires a dynamic leader with a passion for reproductive freedom, exceptional communication and management skills, and a proven track record in development and fundraising.
