The Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR) is Reform Judaism’s rabbinic leadership organization. The CCAR strengthens the Jewish community by providing religious, spiritual, ethical, and intellectual leadership. CCAR and its members lead the Reform Movement on important spiritual, social, cultural and human rights issues, as it has done since 1889.
CCAR is also the center for lifelong rabbinic learning, professional development, and personal support for the 2,200 rabbis who serve more than 1.5 million Reform Jews throughout North America, Israel, and the world. Since its founding, the CCAR also has served as the primary publisher for the Reform Movement through CCAR Press and its secondary imprint Reform Judaism Publishing.
CCAR seeks an experienced Director of Advancement to partner with and support the Chief Executive in all areas of philanthropy. Overseeing the development department, the Director of Advancement ensures the growth and achievement of the organization’s $1M+ annual fundraising goal. This position reports to and collaborates closely with the Chief Executive, serving as a member of the senior team focused on guiding CCAR’s strategic fundraising efforts and operational objectives. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of relevant nonprofit fundraising and major gifts experience, preferably in a Jewish environment.
