Description:

MHP is looking for an emerging leader in development work to grow with us. Candidate will develop and implement annual fundraising goals and strategy, motivate and facilitate continued engagement with existing donors, prospect and secure new donors and work closely with MHP’s Board of Directors to advance our mission.

About Us: Medical Home Plus (MHP) is a growing and thriving not for profit organization supporting families of children with special needs. MHP is the only entity that provides scholarship funds to assist these families in great need of educational support for their children in Virginia. Similar fee-for-service arrangements with professionals of this caliber can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket and are therefore unattainable for many middle-class families and beyond. By providing scholarship support, MHP is “leveling the playing field” for these children regardless of their family’s ability to pay or their child’s diagnosis and changing the trajectory of these children’s lives forevermore. The ability to provide such a critical and high-demand service resides with our ability to continually fundraise.

MHP is rapidly expanding our programs and the number of families we serve in Virginia. This is a new venture for MHP in hiring a full-time development position at the organization with the goal of increased fundraising to support our mission growth. We are looking for someone excited by this opportunity to help us grow!

MHP is an equal opportunity employer.
