Local market philanthropy senior directors, directors and managers remain the primary relationship managers for donors in their markets. The creation of a Military Services director is intended to support, not replace, local fundraising efforts.

• Local donors remain in the portfolios of local philanthropy team.
• The Military Services Director serves as a strategic partner and subjectmatter expert.
• Local philanthropy teams are encouraged to pursue militaryaligned funding opportunities in their markets.
• The Military Services Director can join cultivation meetings when national expertise or program depth would strengthen the opportunity.

A key principle of this role is that major donors cultivated by local market philanthropy teams will not be removed from their portfolios and reassigned to the Military Services Director. The goal is to empower local teams to pursue militaryrelated philanthropy without concern that relationships will be transferred. The Military Services Director functions as a collaborator and strategic resource to help deepen opportunities where military services programming is relevant.
