Director of Development and Advancement – Posted April 2, 2026.

We are looking for more than a fundraiser. We are looking for a relationship builder, a community connector, and a strategic thinker who genuinely loves people and who understands that philanthropy, at its best, is an act of community love.

The Director of Development & Advancement will be a visionary leader who brings both strategic depth and a deeply relational approach to growing Connecticut Community Foundation’s philanthropic reach and impact. This is a role for someone who is energized by the intersection of community, generosity, and purpose and who has the experience and passion to help donors translate their values into lasting impact.

Reporting directly to the President and CEO and serving as a member of the Executive Leadership Team, the Director of Development & Advancement will lead a talented development team and work in close partnership with the Board of Trustees to build, strengthen, and sustain the philanthropic relationships that make our community’s future possible.
