Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC) fosters excellence and accelerates innovation at Jewish camps across North America by developing adaptive talent, deepening immersive learning experiences, and catalyzing field growth. Founded in 1998, FJC elevates Jewish camp on the cultural and philanthropic agenda, creating opportunities to engage even more young people in Jewish camp through groundbreaking programs such as “One Happy Camper” and FJC’s Specialty Camps Incubator. FJC advocates for over 300 day and overnight camps that provide nearly 180,000 campers and counselors with a meaningful, personal, and lifelong connection to Judaism each summer. FJC is the only public 501(c)(3) charitable organization solely focused on Jewish camp.
As FJC celebrates its 25th year, the organization seeks its first Vice President, Advancement to develop, refine, and implement a comprehensive fundraising and communication strategy to fuel its mission and expand its impact. Reporting to the CEO, this key member of FJC’s Senior Leadership Team will work closely with the Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, and key funding partners and stakeholders. A successful candidate will be a seasoned fundraising executive who is analytical, strategic, and hands-on. This remote position requires the ability to travel on a regular basis.
FJC values diversity and equal opportunity. FJC is committed to building a team representative of a variety of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and skills. FJC strongly encourages people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, foreign-born residents, and veterans to apply. FJC knows that the more inclusive they are, the better their work- and our world- will be.
