Teams at Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health

Lead the Foundation’s principal gifts program, securing and growing $10M–$25M philanthropic investments from high-capacity donors. Manage a portfolio of major prospects, develop sophisticated cultivation and stewardship strategies, build the principal gifts pipeline, and partner with executives, physicians, researchers, volunteers, and board members. Lead and develop fundraising staff, oversee proposals and donor strategies, forecast revenue, establish operating processes, and advance long-term fundraising growth aligned with child and maternal health priorities.

Processes and records incoming gifts, prepares receipts and acknowledgments, updates donor records, performs data-quality audits, supports reconciliation, responds to gift-processing inquiries, and assists with CRM cleanup, testing, documentation, and conversion activities. The role requires accurate complex data entry, confidentiality, strong communication, intermediate Excel skills, and effective workload management during high-volume fundraising periods.

Create multimedia fundraising communications for high-value donors—design proposals, slide decks, videos, photography, and custom websites. Manage projects, collaborate with gift officers and stakeholders, work with vendors, maintain digital assets, and ensure polished, donor-focused materials.
