The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with National
Medical Fellowships in the search for a Vice President of
Philanthropy.
Reporting to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice
President of Philanthropy will lead the organization’s engagement
and fundraising activities, creating a new development strategy
aligned with the organization’s strategic plan including its Seven
Strategic Pillars: Building an Endowment for a Sustainable Future;
Advancing Thought Leadership; Engaging in Impactful Policy
Partnerships; Diversifying Clinical Research; Launching a Robust
Mentorship Network; Expanding Focus to Include Behavioral Health;
and Developing a Strong and Comprehensive Student Pipeline. The
Vice President of Philanthropy will be a student of emerging
fundraising and engagement best practices and have deep experience
in data-driven, metrics-based major gift fundraising and the
application of industry best practices.
Seventy-five years ago, National Medical Fellowships began
providing scholarships to African American physicians and medical
students who otherwise would not have been able to afford a medical
education. As American society changed, NMF expanded its
commitment, giving grants on a national basis to other groups
underrepresented in medicine. It is through these scholarship
programs that NMF has been instrumental in increasing the number of
physicians and researchers underrepresented in medicine in the
United States. More recently, NMF has introduced fellowship
programs that help medical students address health disparities in
underserved communities, in the U.S. and globally. Through these
programs, NMF is achieving equity of opportunity in medicine and
equity of access to quality healthcare for all Americans. It is
reaching this goal by increasing the number of minority physicians
and changing the face of medicine to better reflect and serve this
diverse nation.
NMF is the only national organization solely dedicated to providing
scholarships and support to medical and health professions students
across all groups underrepresented in healthcare. Scholarships and
awards recognizing merit as well as financial need have always been
at the core of NMF. Service-learning programs provide opportunities
for students to work hands-on to enhance healthcare delivery in
underrepresented communities. These programs match students with
mentors and focus on areas of critical clinical and public health
need. During the worldwide vaccination effort, NMF launched their
Diversity in Research Programs portfolio which is
comprised of two major initiatives with the goal of increasing
underrepresented patient engagement and participation in clinical
research, ensuring the development of treatments effective in all
populations.
A bachelor’s degree is required for this position as is at least 10
years of progressive fundraising experience with a focus on major
gift solicitations and capital campaigns, preferably in a
healthcare environment, including board and leadership development
experience. All applications must be accompanied by a cover letter
and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the mission of
National Medical Fellowships as well as the responsibilities and
qualifications presented in the prospectus.
Medical Fellowships has a virtual remote working environment with
teammates based across the country. For this position, the
Metropolitan District of Columbia area is preferred. The Vice
President will spend approximately 25% of their time traveling to
large scale annual events and engaging in cultivation efforts,
relationship building, and partnership development.
NMF values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture—people of
color, women, individuals with disabilities, immigrants, and people
from other underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to
apply for positions with the team.
NMF does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national
origin, age, creed, religion, physical ability, gender, gender
identity or expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation, previous
incarceration, veteran status, union membership or activism, or any
other characteristic protected by local, state, or federal law.
