About the Position

​

PFLAG National is the first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, their families, and allies. PFLAG National has 250,000+ members and supporters and nearly 400 chapters in the United States. This vast grassroots network is cultivated, resourced, and serviced by the PFLAG National staff, Board of Directors, and Regional Directors Council. 

The Corporate Philanthropy Manager works with the Development Department and other staff to meet PFLAG National’s fundraising goals. This position is an integral part of the team responsible for securing corporate support through national partnerships, corporate foundation grants, event sponsorships, and other co-branding opportunities. 

PFLAG National currently has over 50 global and national corporate partners and a pipeline of potential partners through its Straight for Equality™ in the Workplace learning program. PFLAG National also partnered with over 25 companies during Pride Month this year and will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2023. 

We are looking for someone with great experience, tenacity, and a vision for how to grow this already successful corporate philanthropy program. As of now, PFLAG National raises over $1.2 million per year from our corporate partners — and we see the potential to grow this support source substantially over the coming years. We want you to help us do that!
