Major & Planned Gifts Officer
The Huntington
Boston, MA
Since opening its doors in 1982, The Huntington has been inspiring, entertaining and engaging audiences with theatrical productions that range from the classics to new works; supporting the next generation of theatre artists and emerging playwrights; providing arts education programs that promote life-long learning to a diverse community; and celebrating the essential power of the theatre to illuminate our common humanity. The storied Theatre stands in the heart of Boston at the gateway to the Avenue of the Arts, a historic cultural corridor through Boston that links Symphony Hall, the New England Conservatory, MassArt, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the nearby Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
Building on the successful revitalization of the historic theatre completed in 2022, The Huntington will be expanding its physical and cultural footprint through an ambitious East Wing project that will add 14,000 square feet of space, offering portals to engage with artmaking, community creation, culinary experiences, and education for all ages. The Huntington’s commitment to bold, artistic innovation will be grounded by a strategic financial plan that relies on increased earned, contributed, and endowment income. Continued robust philanthropy will be a cornerstone of the organization's sustainable future.
The Major and Planned Gifts Officer (MPGO) will join The Huntington at a landmark moment for the organization and will play a vital role in the evolution of the major and planned giving programs, as well as in Phase II of the Campaign for the New Huntington, an important initiative to expand the campus on Huntington Avenue and support growth of the endowment. With a robust group of loyal and generous donors, as well as a new list of potential prospects for the team to engage, the MPGO will develop deep and authentic relationships across The Huntington’s vibrant and enthusiastic community. The key focus of the MPGO position will be to collaborate with development colleagues to ensure continued growth and success in the organization’s annual fund effort.
The ideal MPGO candidate is a self-driven, goal oriented, front-line fundraiser responsible for cultivating and soliciting a robust portfolio of major donors. This role conducts prospect identification, cultivation, one-on-one solicitations, stewardship, and direct appeals to support annual operations, capital campaigns, endowment, legacy, and special programs. Reporting to the Director of Development and collaborating with the entire Development Team, this position will work closely with the Director and Chief Development Officer to strategize on individual major giving, bring best practices and industry knowledge to broaden and deepen individual philanthropy, and support the expansion of the planned giving program. Due to the interpersonal nature of this role and interaction with staff across the organization, the majority of this role will require in-person presence in the office and in the Boston community.
