Job Posting – Major Gifts Officer
Reporting to the VP Operations, the Major Gifts Officer plays a critical role in advancing Heritage College & Seminary’s mission by building, nurturing, and sustaining meaningful relationships with major donors and prospective supporters. This role is highly relational and outward-facing, requiring warmth, credibility, and a genuine passion for connecting people to the impact of Heritage’s work.
The Major Gifts Officer is responsible to grow revenue for Heritage from private gifts and grants. The successful candidate will do this by identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major gift prospects, matching donor interests with strategic institutional priorities. To do this effectively, the incumbent must be deeply engaged with what is happening across the school – academically, spiritually, and institutionally – and able to clearly articulate Heritage’s impact, vision, and funding needs to donors.
This position requires regular travel, strong collaboration across internal teams, proven success in major gift fundraising, and comfort balancing relationship-focused work with administrative and CRM responsibilities.
All duties are carried out in alignment with Heritage’s Mission, Vision, Values, and policies, and within a collaborative, team-oriented environment.
