About RAVEN:

RAVEN (Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs) is Canada’s only organization dedicated to advancing Indigenous rights and environmental protection through fundraising for access to justice.

Fundraising is in our DNA: everything we do has the simple, powerful goal of motivating people to donate, fundraise, and organize events in support of Nations which take to the courts to advance their rights and defend their territories.

When RAVEN was formed in 2009, it was because the board recognized the need to redress an inherent imbalance. Since our humble beginnings in a donated office based in Victoria, BC with just one staff person, we have organically grown to a capacity that can support many campaigns at one time, and we have enjoyed significant successes.

Position Overview:

Reporting to and in partnership with the Executive Director, the Development Director will spearhead development efforts as RAVEN continues to grow. An evolving position in the organization, the Director will have the opportunity to build the development function.

• Fundraising and Donor Development: Develop and execute RAVEN’s annual fundraising plan and execute RAVEN’s engagement strategy for a large, sustained base of annual and monthly individual donors
• Community Relations & Stewardship: Preserve connections with community stakeholders and maintain relationships with major donors, while proposing creative, innovative ways to engage and attract new donors and businesses
• Leadership: Role model the mission, vision, and values of the organization, works collaboratively, and upholds RAVEN’s mission and values.
• Financial Management: Lead and manage the overall development efforts to raise the annual operating budget

The successful candidate will have knowledge of colonization and Indigenous history including the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, UNDRIP and Indigenous legal issues. They will have 5 years experience in the development sector, working collaboratively with government funding organizations and donors, and a proven track record of achieving annual revenue targets.
