Vice President of Fundraising-Kids & Community Partners

Do you have the skills to close big deals and the drive to make a difference?

Kids & Community Partners is a nonprofit investment firm that creates and funds bold programs to help people break the cycle of generational poverty. We operate with the speed and discipline of a high-performing business—but our bottom line is impact, not profit. We’re looking for someone who can raise major money to help scale this work.

We’re not looking for just another fundraiser. We’re looking for a closer. Someone who wants to do meaningful work and help us scale something special.

Ask yourself:

Can you connect with people, earn their trust, and get them excited to back something meaningful?
Would your coworkers say you’re one of the most focused and driven people they know?
Are you in the top 5% of whatever you do?
Do you have a history of pushing through tough challenges to hit big goals?
Do you want your work to help people and create long-term impact?

If that sounds like you, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Responsibilities:

Raise millions in major gifts from high-net-worth individuals and foundations.
Partner with our leadership to fund some of the most innovative nonprofit work in the country.
Help scale proven programs like Ohio’s first private, non-religious school exclusively for under-resourced students.
Build strong relationships and confidently ask for—and close—transformational gifts.

The qualified candidate will be afforded the following opportunity:

A game-changing role in a nonprofit doing high-impact work.
Partnership in 36 months (estimated at $5-6M value over 20 years as a partner)
Fully paid health benefits and an industry-best 401(k)

What our investors say about us...

“Connor Group is the most dynamic firm we work with because every teammate shares a passion for being the absolute best in the industry. This collective vision drives the group to be among the most innovative and ambitious in the country. This comes from a truly unique belief in its people, who are empowered to take calculated risks and to make bold decisions. Few companies afford the opportunity to have an impact on an industry the way Connor Group does, and we are proud to count them among our most significant relationships.”

- JP Conklin President and Founder of Pensford and LoanBoss Charlotte, NC

“There are many people who think of real estate, particularly the apartment industry, as slow and old-fashioned. They have not likely looked at the multifamily industry today nor have they encountered Larry Connor and The Connor Group. Larry and his team have a passion and vision for the business and a well-earned reputation for execution – they are driven not only to achieve success but to make their mark on a changing landscape. It has been a great pleasure working with Larry and his team for the better part of the last 20 years and watching their tremendous growth and success. I suspect there is much more yet to come.”
