The Opportunity
The Meadows Institute is seeking a seasoned, strategic, and mission-driven fundraising executive to serve as its Senior Vice President of Philanthropy. This is a pivotal leadership role during an exciting period of growth and momentum. Reporting to the Chief Impact Officer, the Senior Vice President will lead a high-performing development team and partner with executive leadership to shape the strategic direction of the Institute’s philanthropic initiatives.
A central focus of this role will be building the infrastructure needed to support long-term, diversified philanthropic growth. The Senior Vice President will grow a major gifts program by diversifying funding streams and directly steward a portfolio of high-net-worth donors and institutional partners.
Ideal candidates will bring a proven track record in securing six- and seven-figure gifts, leading development teams, and aligning fundraising strategies with mission-driven goals. A deep commitment to mental health care access, public health, or health equity is essential, along with familiarity with the philanthropic landscape in Texas.
This remote-friendly role requires occasional travel and offers a competitive salary of up to $200,000. While the position is remote, candidates with fundraising experience and established connections in Texas are strongly preferred.
