Do you look forward to joining a team that values its employees and takes pride in their success? Would you enjoy working in a position where you can see firsthand how your work has contributed to the community? The Fort Edmonton Foundation’s Executive Director position provides the opportunity to build donor relations and to be recognized as an integral part of the team in the City of Edmonton’s Premier Cultural Heritage and Tourism Attraction.
The Fort Edmonton Foundation celebrates Edmonton’s vivid, diverse history. We achieve this through building community philanthropic support for capital projects and other initiatives within Fort Edmonton Park.
The Executive Director is responsible for the overall management and leadership of the Foundation according to the strategic direction set out by the Board of Directors. The successful candidate will work closely with FEMCo (Fort Edmonton Management Company), which operates on behalf of the City of Edmonton, which owns the buildings, artifacts, and land associated with the attraction. FEMCo manages the day-to-day operations of the Park while the Fort Edmonton Foundation raises funds to support the Park’s capital development.
The successful candidate will help establish specific goals and develop long-term philanthropic relationships with high-capacity prospects and donors. The Executive Director will solicit individual donations in face-to-face meetings and telephone correspondence and coordinate strategic moves to help the Foundation reach its overall financial goals. The Executive Director will work independently and collaboratively with the Fort Edmonton Foundation Board of Directors, Federal/Provincial and Municipal government bodies, FEMCo, and Fort Edmonton Foundation colleagues and volunteers.
