Campaign Coordinator

Congregation Kol Tikvah is a reform Jewish synagogue based in Parkland, Florida.  Our dynamic 300 family synagogue has serviced Northwest Broward County for more than 30 years, and spans the complete spectrum of Jewish beliefs.  Our congregation has grown to become a multigenerational kehillah kedoshah, with a diverse membership unitive in their love of Judaism.

Congregation Kol Tikvah is embarking on a capital campaign with a dual focus – to simultaneously raise between $1.8 and $3.5 million in capital gifts, while also fully launching a comprehensive legacy program.  We are seeking a skilled professional to help coordinate and oversee these efforts.

This professional will serve as the administrative hub for both critical activities, ensuring effective communication, meeting benchmarks and timeline objectives, facilitating administrative tasks including pre-solicitation research and follow up, and reporting on progress to the Executive Committee, Board of Trustees and Executive professional Leadership team.   While this professional will not be tasked with making direct solicitations, having deep knowledge on how to leverage and combine these solicitations in an effective manner will be critical to the success of both this role and our campaigns. 

This is a short term, contracted role with an initial time frame of 6 months, with a potential to extend up to another 8 months should the need arise on a monthly basis.   The initial contract will be paid a total of $40,000-$50,000.
