About The Position
The need for affordable housing has never been more urgent. For over four decades, Habitat for Humanity International (Habitat) has helped more than 60 million people achieve strength, stability, and independence through safe, decent, and affordable shelter. Yet more than 2.8 billion people lack safe, durable shelter they can afford. Significant change is necessary to address the gap in affordable housing and with a strong brand, solid financials, and partnerships across the globe, Habitat for Humanity International is uniquely suited to help drive this change. As Habitat reaches a pivotal moment, we're seeking a leader with the passion and vision to harness this potential and advance Habitat into its next phase of growth. With the support of a new three-year strategic plan, a brand refresh, new collaboration opportunities unlocked through a new operating model with our affiliates and a commitment to evolve our go-to-market strategy, the organization is poised to capture its share of the major donor philanthropic giving. As we near our 50th anniversary in 2026, we are laying the groundwork to leverage this moment to increase engagement, fundraising, and impact. The Vice President of Individual Giving (VP-Individual Giving) will play a key role in growing the resources required to fund the mission and increase impact, shaping the future of Habitat fundraising for Habitat's next 50 years of advancing our mission. Reporting to the Chief Development Officer, the VP-Individual Giving is responsible for growing principal, major, and planned gifts for Habitat. Driven by a passion to ensure everyone has a decent place to live, this individual is one-part strategic leader, one-part expert fundraiser, and one-part skilled relationship manager. The VP-Individual Giving's primary focus will be expanding and nurturing external relationships to grow and diversify major donor and planned giving support. Aligned with and comfortable leading in an inclusive Christian ministry, they will be a true servant leader exemplifying Habitat's core values of humility, courage, and accountability. Additionally, they will possess strong strategic thinking, relationship management, and highly influential, yet humbly persuasive communication skills. They will lead a professional fundraising team of approximately thirty staff and collaborate with key affiliates to raise $50 million-plus in annual philanthropic revenue through transformational large gifts.
