The Director will lead and grow Tyndale’s major donor strategy, with a focus on deepening relationships with current supporters and identifying high-potential prospects. This includes identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding supporters; developing tailored proposals, reports, and communications; and supporting Board and Committee members in relationship-building and solicitation.

As needed, the Director will support the Executive Director and relevant staff with government funding opportunities, church partnerships, corporate and community partnerships, and other institutional or community-based funding relationships.
