• Own all aspects of the philanthropic cycle for an institutional portfolio: identification, qualification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.
• Develop and execute tailored cultivation and solicitation strategies for each institutional relationship, including program officer meetings, briefing materials, site visits, and proposal strategy sessions with executive leadership.

• Obsessively track all prospect activity, cultivation progress, portfolio movement, and next steps in the CRM so it is accurate, current, and a reliable source of truth for the development team and organizational leadership.
