Queens Botanical Garden’s Development Team is responsible for raising funds for the Garden. As a key member of the Development Team, the Institutional Giving Coordinator will work to meet—and strive to exceed—annual fundraising goals by securing institutional support for education, horticulture, environmental, and cultural programs as well as technological, planning, and capital initiatives. The Coordinator will report to the Director of Development and work closely with the Development Manager, Executive Director, Deputy Director, Director of Programs, and other key staff members. The Coordinator will be a gifted writer with the ability to synthesize complex institutional goals into compelling narratives for current and prospective funders and will be at ease interacting with institutional donors. In a role that also requires coordination and communication with nearly all QBG departments, the ideal candidate will also exhibit a passion for the Garden’s multifaceted mission— especially our cultural programming, sustainability and environmental initiatives, and educational and youth development work—, a collegial spirit, and strong time management skills.
