Philanthropy and Donor Engagement Director

The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City

Job Description

The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City (HSGKC) is seeking a passionate, relationship-driven fundraising professional to join our growing team. As the Director of Philanthropy & Donor Engagement, you will play a pivotal role in sustaining and expanding our life-changing mission: to save and improve the lives of dogs and cats throughout the Greater Kansas City community by providing preventative veterinary care and spay/neuter services, education and adoptions. This position is dedicated to cultivating, stewarding, and expanding a portfolio of individual donors who make major and transformational gifts, ensuring the long-term financial health of our rapidly growing organization.

At HSGKC, fundraising isn’t about transactions — it’s about building deep, meaningful partnerships that bring people and pets together. At HSGKC, we believe that the way we work is just as important as the work itself. We are proud to have one of the lowest staff turnover rates in Kansas City’s animal welfare community — a testament to the fact that people love being here. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and mission-driven, and we thrive in a culture that balances professionalism with fun.

We’ve built a safe, inclusive workplace where every voice is heard, where laughter is common, and where the hard work of animal welfare is paired with joy and celebration. When you join HSGKC, you’re not just joining a team — you’re joining a family that believes in lifting each other up so we can lift our community up, too. By joining our team, you’ll have the opportunity to directly shape the future of an innovative, equity-driven, nationally recognized organization while making an immediate impact on animals and families across the Greater Kansas City area.
