Director of Development

St. George's Scholar Institute - Louisville, Kentucky For more than 60 years, St. George's Scholar Institute (SGSI) has stood as a steady presence in West Louisville - opening doors, strengthening academic pathways, and preparing young people to walk confidently toward college and career. We believe strong communities are built the old-fashioned way: through relationships, accountability, and opportunity. We are seeking a part-time Director of Development to help carry that mission forward.

It is about sitting at tables, making introductions, following through, and telling the story well. If you are organized, relationship-driven, and motivated by real impact, this position offers the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of SGSI's growth. Position Summary The Director of Development leads and executes SGSI's fundraising strategy, with a focus on individual donors, corporate partners, and community supporters. This position works closely with the Executive Director, Board of Directors, and Grant Writer to strengthen annual giving, expand donor engagement, and increase long-term sustainability.
