The USTA Foundation Incorporated (USTAF), a 501(c)3 organization, is the charitable arm of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) headquartered in White Plains, NY. The mission of the USTAF is to bring tennis and education together to change lives. The USTAF fosters conditions that enable America’s youth to lead physically and emotionally healthy lives and be productive citizens in their communities.  USTAF helps serve up dreams for under-resourced youth, individuals with disabilities, wounded and injured service members, and veterans and their families. The USTAF’s focus is to develop the sustainability and effectiveness of a national network of over 500 National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) chapters. The NJTL network provides free or low-cost tennis and education programming to more than 225,000 under-resourced youth across the country.

USTAF is diversifying its fundraising techniques to raise a sustainable $5.0 million by 2017 so that it can increase the number of children participating in chapters by 50,000. Success of this goal will require the collaborative effort of the NJTL network, accountability from the USTAF and USTA staff and a commitment by the Board of Directors to secure new relationships and financial support.

To meet this goal, the USTAF is seeking an experienced, energetic, and entrepreneurial Director of Development (DoD). The DoD will be responsible for refining and successfully executing a coordinated and comprehensive fundraising strategy for the USTA Foundation. Reporting to the Executive Director, the DoD will be responsible for achieving the foundation’s revenue goals. The successful candidate will cultivate key relationships, execute special events, and implement development activities across the country.

The ideal candidate will have responsibility for the incremental and strategic growth of principal gifts.  S/he will bring strong leadership acumen, professional fundraising leadership experience, and a demonstrated track record of creating a culture of philanthropy.
