Kids and Families Together
Development Consultant – Request for Qualifications
The Board of Directors and the CEO of Kids and Families Together seeks a Development Consultant to work with the
organization’s Board and senior leadership to develop a diversified fund development strategy for the organization
and support the organization through the initial months of its implementation.
Organizational Overview
Kids & Families Together is a not-for-profit center connecting birth, foster, kinship and adoptive families for family
preservation and individual health and wholeness. Our mission is to strengthen relationships and provide safe
supportive help and education that keeps family members emotionally connected to one another.
Kids & Families Together opened its doors in January 2000 and is primarily funded through contracts with the
Ventura County Human Service Agency and Ventura County Behavioral Health. Kids & Families Together’s 2015
budget is approximately $2,200,000.
Kids & Families Together’s specialized mental health and support services are trauma informed and family centered.
Most recently Kids & Families Together, in collaboration with Ventura County Human Services Agency, opened a
clinically oriented visitation center for parents who are in the process of reunifying with their children who were
removed by the child welfare agency.
Potential areas of growth are in the following areas:
 Recent state mandates require a substantial increase in the number of foster children that receive mental
health services. Kids & Families Together has been selected as a lead agency to provide these services.
 With the addition of an East County office we believe the San Fernando Valley will be an open market for
“fee for service” providing specialty mental health services (especially the adoption community).
Major Components of Fund Development Scope
Working closely with the Board of Directors and the CEO, the Development Consultant will take the lead in:
1. Assessing the organization’s current fund development strategy and funding streams
2. Creating, in conjunction with the Board and staff, a diverse, comprehensive 2-3 year fundraising plan and
calendar that includes measurable goals around a broad range of strategies: individual donor giving,
philanthropic grants, special events, annual appeals, etc.
3. Developing a “culture of fundraising” among staff and Board by identifying ways for everyone to participate in
this work and by providing appropriate training.
4. Clarifying the case statement for giving to Kids and Families Together
5. Provide assistance to Executive Director in developing job description, recruiting and onboarding a
Development Associate staff position
6. Providing ongoing coaching and support to the Kids and Families Together staff (especially the CEO and
Development Associate) and Board members who are taking the lead in implementing the organization’s
fund development strategy.
Timeframe: Start date to be negotiated, with an estimated start-date in Q4 2014. We anticipate an eight month
contract, with four months of intensive work followed by an additional four months of less intensive support as K&FT
begins to implement the plan.
Desired Qualifications:
 Highly developed interpersonal skills; superior communication skills (verbal and written), discretion,
professionalism, excellent judgment
 Self-motivated with the desire and ability to act independently
 Enthusiasm for and ability to engage others in working toward a shared purpose
 Ability to think systematically and creatively
 Passion for Kids and Families Together’s mission and vision
 Above average computer skills including Outlook, Word and Excel
 Energetic, outgoing and resilient
 At least five years of experience in the non-profit development field, preferably including major donor asks
If interested in this position, please submit the following:
 Resume and/or CV
 An overview of your past experience in fund development, and particularly in creating a diversified multi-year
fund development plan
 An overview of your approach to this role, including major activities and a timeline for each component of the
scope
 Your proposed cost structure
Please keep your responses to no more than 6 pages. Responses are due by Monday, October 6 at 12pm via email
to Sharon Cromartie at [email protected].
