BACKGROUND
The Center for Reproductive Rights (the "Center"), a global human rights organization founded in 1992 with expertise in constitutional and international law, seeks a Director of Individual Giving to be based in its New York City headquarters. The Director of Individual Giving reports to the Director of Development and joins the fund development team of an innovative and cutting-edge organization committed to promoting the equality, reproductive health, and self-determination of women throughout the world. National-level courts, regional human rights courts, and United Nations bodies have increasingly recognized that a woman's right to reproductive autonomy and reproductive healthcare are basic human rights that must be protected. The Center for Reproductive Rights has played a key role in securing these legal and policy victories and works with attorneys and advocates in the U.S., Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. In addition to its headquarters, the Center has offices in Washington, D.C., Nairobi, Kenya, Bogotá, Colombia, Kathmandu, Nepal, and Geneva, Switzerland. The Center, with a current annual operating budget of approximately $15 million, has a 23-person board of directors and a diverse staff of over 100 professionals from Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Kenya, Korea, Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines, Sweden, Slovakia, the U.K., and the U.S.
The Director of Individual Giving will be joining the Center at an exciting time for the institution and at a critical time for the nation. In December 2011, the Center's Board adopted a new strategic plan for 2012-2017.

The Center has launched a number of bold new initiatives to go on the offense and change the discourse and policy landscape, while significantly expanding its capacity with new programing and ambitious fundraising goals.

The Director interacts with the Center's Executive and Management Teams, including the President and CEO, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer and the Vice President of Programs.
