About the role
Senior Major Gifts Officer
Reports to: Director, Global Business Development
Location: Remote (East Coast)
Help Transform Community Health for 25 Million People
Living Goods is at an inflection point.
For more than 15 years, we have partnered with governments across Africa to strengthen community health systems and ensure that families can access quality healthcare where they live. Our work has helped demonstrate that when community health workers are equipped with the right tools, training, supervision, and data, governments can deliver lifesaving care at scale.
Today, the global health landscape is changing. Traditional funding models are shifting, governments are demanding greater impact and efficiency, and new technologies, including artificial intelligence, are creating unprecedented opportunities to improve frontline healthcare delivery.
Living Goods is meeting this moment with a bold new strategy.
By 2030, we aim to support governments in enabling 50,000 community health workers to reach 25 million people across our core countries, contributing to a measurable reduction in maternal and child mortality. Achieving this vision will require transformational partnerships with philanthropists and family foundations who believe that lasting change happens when governments are equipped to deliver for their people.
That's where you come in.
The Opportunity:
This is not a traditional major gifts role.
We are seeking an entrepreneurial and relationship-driven fundraising leader who wants to help build and scale a major gifts program capable of generating more than $5 million annually in philanthropic support.
You will partner closely with the Director of Global Business Development, executive leadership, and program leaders to identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward philanthropists and family foundations capable of making six- and seven-figure investments in Living Goods' mission.
This role offers a rare opportunity to help shape strategy, influence organizational growth, and build meaningful partnerships with some of the most sophisticated philanthropists in the United States.
The ideal candidate is energized by building something ambitious, enjoys creating opportunities where none previously existed, and thrives in an environment that values initiative, creativity, collaboration, and results.
