ACLU of Northern California
San Francisco, CA, USA
The Opportunity
The ACLU of Northern California (ACLU NorCal) seeks an experienced leader for the position of Deputy Director of Development. This is an exciting opportunity to direct frontline fundraising for the ACLU NorCal and ensure our program integrates thoughtful strategy, authentic engagement, and the right mix of innovation and best practices. You will make a difference by providing strategic direction, supporting staff to do their best work, and cultivating a healthy working culture. At this time in our history for both philanthropy and movements for equity, you will be essential to our work to further ground our development approach and practices in racial and social justice.
The Approach
Our work is guided by the principles of freedom, equality, and justice enumerated in the Constitution. However, we know that because of historic and systemic racism and other forms of oppression, these principles are not equitably applied to all. In an ideal world, everyone would have equal access to justice and equal protection under the law. Unfortunately, neither our world nor our country is ideal. Our work involves hard subject matter that can be emotionally draining for some people. Ideal candidates will understand that as a mission-driven organization, we strive to make the world a better place knowing that the road is long and hard. At the same time, we understand the importance of self-care, and do our best to reflect that in our practices and values.
The Position
You are a leader with at least ten years of experience in the non-profit or philanthropic sectors, with at least five years of management experience, including supervising staff in varying stages of their careers. You have experience establishing and strengthening strong, long-term partnerships with philanthropic stakeholders, primarily through the oversight and direction of major, leadership, and planned giving programs and staff. You support your staff’s success through your planning processes, goal-setting and related accountability measures, and management practices. You think creatively about new ways to engage donors more deeply in the ACLU’s work and our broader movements, and to demonstrate the impact of their giving. You have a strong commitment to the mission and goals of the ACLU NorCal, and you are excited to address the tensions that exist between philanthropy and our work for racial and social justice. You treat every person with whom you work with dignity and respect, and you actively work to foster an equitable and inclusive experience for donors, staff, and other partners in your work. You are open to learning new approaches, skills, and practices, even when this may push you outside your comfort zone. As Deputy Director, you will supervise five gift officers, report to the Director of Development, and act in place of the Director of Development in their absence.
About the Organization
The ACLU of Northern California is an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, a nationwide, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the defense and expansion of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU NorCal is comprised of two distinct corporations, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California (501c3) and the ACLU of Northern California (501c4). The incumbent is a joint employee of both corporations. For most of the last century, the ACLU NorCal has been at the heart of many of the most major – and sometimes controversial – struggles for civil liberties and civil rights in our state.
Our mission is to ensure that constitutional rights don’t just exist on paper but are protected in practice. As we move into a new era and face dangerous policies that threaten our civil rights and civil liberties, we remain dedicated to confronting these issues and defending the progress we have made. We must use our decades of experience in impact litigation, legislative advocacy, and fearless organizing to fight these un-American policies and protect our most cherished rights and freedoms. We are committed to fostering an anti-racist work culture and to anti-racist principles and learning. We are the resistance. Join us.
Duties & Responsibilities
Major, Leadership, and Planned Gifts (MLPG) Unit Oversight, Management, and Evaluation
Direct the frontline fundraising programs for the ACLU NorCal, which include major gifts, leadership gifts, and planned gifts. Ensure programs evolve to apply our learnings, reflect the right mix of innovation and best practices, and respond to emerging opportunities and approaches in philanthropy.
Provide strategic direction for the MLPG unit, ensuring staff have the support and resources necessary to perform their jobs effectively, promoting coordination among unit members and the unit as a whole. Cultivate a healthy working culture and cohesiveness among the unit. Ensure efficient and effective workflows between the MLPG unit and other units.
Supervise MLPG staff, including recruitment, hiring, performance management (including disciplinary matters), and retention.
Foster professional development in a collaborative, team-based environment, thinking through staff development, roles, and MLPG unit growth as needed to maximize the philanthropic potential of the region.
Through supervision of MLPG staff, ensure comprehensive relationship-development goals and plans are in place for each donor and prospective donor in major, leadership planned gifts portfolios. Support the execution of these plans to maximize donor engagement and investment. This may include participating in the cultivating, soliciting, negotiating, closing, and/or stewarding of leadership-level or planned gifts donors in other gift officers’ portfolios.
Coordinate Finance, Program, and Development to develop special giving opportunities for donors and prospects to maximize giving in alignment with donor’s philanthropic goals and the ACLU NorCal’s strategic priorities.
Coordinate with the Development Operations and Prospect Development units to ensure effective infrastructure, operations, and pipelines for the ACLU NorCal’s MLPG portfolios and related work, and to strengthen MLPG portfolio protocols, performance metrics, and evaluation practices.
Consult with Foundation Relations & Donor Engagement units on the development of timely and meaningful events; written proposals, reports, and other materials; and other opportunities to advance goals for individual donors and/or the MLPG portfolio as a whole.
Act as primary contact for appropriate ACLU national colleagues (directors of major, leadership, and planned gifts) to ensure alignment around expectations for coordination of programs and effective collaboration between programs and staff.
Development Department Leadership
Act as key partner to Director of Development on matters impacting the department and, as delegated by the Director of Development, hold responsibilities related to department integration and engagement, organizational culture of philanthropy, and intra- or inter-departmental issues when they arise.
Partner with Director of Development to build out and strengthen the ACLU NorCal’s philanthropic development practices to further advance of our values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging within the department, as well as to align our work with donors, funders, and community- based partners with our goals for racial and social justice.
Serve as acting Department Director in the Director of Development’s absence.

Experience developing strong relationships with a variety of organizational stakeholders;

Full Time
The Opportunity
The ACLU of Northern California (ACLU NorCal) seeks an experienced leader for the position of Deputy Director of Development. This is an exciting opportunity to direct frontline fundraising for the ACLU NorCal and ensure our program integrates thoughtful strategy, authentic engagement, and the right mix of innovation and best practices. You will make a difference by providing strategic direction, supporting staff to do their best work, and cultivating a healthy working culture. At this time in our history for both philanthropy and movements for equity, you will be essential to our work to further ground our development approach and practices in racial and social justice.
The Approach
Our work is guided by the principles of freedom, equality, and justice enumerated in the Constitution. However, we know that because of historic and systemic racism and other forms of oppression, these principles are not equitably applied to all. In an ideal world, everyone would have equal access to justice and equal protection under the law. Unfortunately, neither our world nor our country is ideal. Our work involves hard subject matter that can be emotionally draining for some people. Ideal candidates will understand that as a mission-driven organization, we strive to make the world a better place knowing that the road is long and hard. At the same time, we understand the importance of self-care, and do our best to reflect that in our practices and values.
The Position
You are a leader with at least ten years of experience in the non-profit or philanthropic sectors, with at least five years of management experience, including supervising staff in varying stages of their careers. You have experience establishing and strengthening strong, long-term partnerships with philanthropic stakeholders, primarily through the oversight and direction of major, leadership, and planned giving programs and staff. You support your staff’s success through your planning processes, goal-setting and related accountability measures, and management practices. You think creatively about new ways to engage donors more deeply in the ACLU’s work and our broader movements, and to demonstrate the impact of their giving. You have a strong commitment to the mission and goals of the ACLU NorCal, and you are excited to address the tensions that exist between philanthropy and our work for racial and social justice. You treat every person with whom you work with dignity and respect, and you actively work to foster an equitable and inclusive experience for donors, staff, and other partners in your work. You are open to learning new approaches, skills, and practices, even when this may push you outside your comfort zone. As Deputy Director, you will supervise five gift officers, report to the Director of Development, and act in place of the Director of Development in their absence.
About the Organization
The ACLU of Northern California is an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, a nationwide, non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the defense and expansion of civil liberties and civil rights. The ACLU NorCal is comprised of two distinct corporations, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California (501c3) and the ACLU of Northern California (501c4). The incumbent is a joint employee of both corporations. For most of the last century, the ACLU NorCal has been at the heart of many of the most major – and sometimes controversial – struggles for civil liberties and civil rights in our state.
Our mission is to ensure that constitutional rights don’t just exist on paper but are protected in practice. As we move into a new era and face dangerous policies that threaten our civil rights and civil liberties, we remain dedicated to confronting these issues and defending the progress we have made. We must use our decades of experience in impact litigation, legislative advocacy, and fearless organizing to fight these un-American policies and protect our most cherished rights and freedoms. We are committed to fostering an anti-racist work culture and to anti-racist principles and learning. We are the resistance. Join us.

Support the execution of these plans to maximize donor engagement and investment. This may include participating in the cultivating, soliciting, negotiating, closing, and/or stewarding of leadership-level or planned gifts donors in other gift officers’ portfolios.
Coordinate Finance, Program, and Development to develop special giving opportunities for donors and prospects to maximize giving in alignment with donor’s philanthropic goals and the ACLU NorCal’s strategic priorities.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW
Roca’s mission is to be a relentless force in disrupting incarceration and poverty by partnering with young adults, the police, and systems at the center of urban violence to create safety, address trauma, and find hope.
We relentlessly find and work with the people who drive the most violence, in the places they are, and work with them over time to support them in changing behaviors that perpetuate urban violence in order to help them find the peace they need to thrive.
Who We Serve: 16-to-24 year olds who are the primary victims and/or drivers of urban violence. These young people:
are involved in criminal justice system ;
have no high-school degree/GED and/or have low literacy skills;
have no formal/sustained employment history ;
are involved with guns, gangs, and drugs ;
have failed out or dropped out of programs, schools, and jobs ; and,
may be young parents.
These young people have experienced extensive trauma. Their fear does not turn off. Mistreatment and neglect have shaped their worldview and they are hyper-vigilant about threats. This level of trauma makes it extremely difficult for Roca’s young people to engage, without significant intervention, in helpful services that other youth may be able to access with ease.
Roca’s Intervention Model, grounded in CBT, has generated impressive results with the young people most likely to drive crime and violence. Roca and many partners in the field [1] believe our program model has national relevance for our most traumatized young people who are not ready, willing, or able to be served in existing educational, life skills or workforce development programs for youth.
Consistent with this research, Roca’s approach is rooted in understanding brain development, neuroplasticity, and the impact of trauma on the brain; built on the foundational theories of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Stages of Change and Systems Change; and guided by the following beliefs:
Violence is the result of unmet basic needs, unaddressed trauma, and lack of connection and understanding. We must impact violence to impact poverty;
When we understand the impact of trauma on brain development and how it affects thinking, feeling, and doing, we can create and improve the ways in which we work to heal trauma and build skills that help people move toward change;
People only change when they are ready, but people don’t just “get ready” when they are stuck in survival mode and are unsafe;
Behaviors have consequences and we are all accountable for our behaviors. When we can learn to slow down and act from intention, we often do better;
The majority of urban violence is driven by a small number of people in predictable places, and triggered by well understood behaviors (gangs, drugs, guns);
When young parents have the skills they need to regulate themselves they are better prepared to successfully parent their children;
Systems change cannot happen unless people change within those systems; and,
Reducing urban violence is a fundamental measure of racial and economic justice.
Knowing this, Roca does not wait for young people or systems to come to us. We relentlessly outreach and build relationships with young people to create safety and stability; use cognitive behavioral theory and peacemaking circles to address trauma; help young adults build the skills they need to change their behaviors; partner with systems so we can all get better at supporting these young people; and, provide opportunities to practice skills, relapse, and repeat. We do this in order to help young people address their trauma, stay out of prison, and get and keep jobs - and we work with systems partners to impact policy and practice changes that help the highest risk young people improve their lives.
Governed by a 12-member Board of Directors, Roca has steadily increased its annual revenue to $17.1M ($14.1M in Massachusetts and $3M in Maryland) through several philanthropic and government-funded sources, including: federal and state contracts, pay-for-success contracting, private family foundations, corporations and individual donors.
