• Wilmington Alliance: Director, Economic Development & Inclusion

  • When
    June 25, 2021
  •  
    (EDT)
  • Location
    Wilmington, DE

  *The Wilmington Alliance is a Philanthropy Delaware member*  The Wilmington Alliance seeks an experienced economic development leader who is passionate about driving transformative community change and is committed to dismantling social inequality to serve as its inaugural Director of Economic Development & Inclusion. Utilizing a collective impact approach, the Director will serve as a convener, bringing together local, regional and national stakeholders to drive equitable economic mobility efforts, and help build a culture of inclusion for the city of Wilmington. This is an incredible opportunity to create positive social change in one of America’s oldest and most diverse cities.

  Founded in 2019 after the merger of two long-standing nonprofit organizations, the Wilmington Alliance seeks to build a more resilient and economically just Wilmington. Originally established with a focus on creative placemaking efforts, under the direction of CEO Renata B. Kowalczyk, the organization has expanded programmatically in order to address the challenges in economic mobility for BIPOC communities. Part laboratory, part convener, the Alliance seeks to be a common ground for community stakeholders to come together and solve some of Wilmington’s toughest problems. By building and nurturing networks of catalysts, pilot testing programs, and applying innovative approaches, the Alliance is changing Wilmington’s economic landscape for the better.

  
  

  CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES

  Like many American cities, Wilmington, Delaware, is an urban center on the rise. Wilmington is the Corporate Capital of America and a burgeoning center for technology and innovation. Home to half of the Fortune 500, the city is seeing explosive growth in the healthcare, fintech, and chemical engineering sectors in addition to having an already robust financial services base.

  A majority Black city, Wilmington is home to a beautifully diverse population, yet like many American cities it has a wealth divide that runs along racial lines and impacts some neighborhoods more than others. Unsurprisingly, the economic crisis brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic has only served to exacerbate matters for Wilmington’s BIPOC and low-income communities.

  The Wilmington Alliance and their partners know that without intervention, the city’s economic recovery will leave many of its residents behind. Leveraging a highly effective collective impact approach, the organization aims to close the wealth gap by creating pathways to opportunity for all. The Alliance seeks to build resilience and upward mobility by supporting workforce development programs that create equitable pathways to employment; co-creating initiatives that offer equitable pathways to entrepreneurship; and uplifting efforts to support existing small businesses that are primarily owned by people of color. To date, through collaborative efforts with partner institutions, the Alliance has helped create initiatives like the Second Chance Employment Collaborative, which connects justice-involved Delawareans with careers in high-growth sectors; the Equitable Entrepreneurial System (E3), which primarily coaches and supports Wilmington’s aspiring entrepreneurs of color; and Wilmington Made, which serves to strengthen the locally owned business community.

  
  

  THE POSITION

  This is a pivotal moment in time for the Wilmington Alliance. With many challenges still to address, a strong foundation of support from all corners of the community, and a proven model, the organization is well-positioned to reach new heights of impact. The inaugural Director of Economic Development & Inclusion will focus on and expand the organization’s efforts around upward mobility and bring an equity lens to current and future economic development work in the region. They will take proactive steps to identify and remove the barriers to economic opportunity and advancement—particularly for people of color.

  The work of the Director of Economic Development & Inclusion will be approached in several important ways. Drawing on personal expertise as well as best practices and innovations from local, regional and national landscapes, the Director will support the Alliance’s Wilmington partners in developing and implementing economic inclusion policies and practices. The Director will also identify specific gaps in the Alliance’s economic development and inclusion programming and generate solutions by leveraging existing local, regional and/or national resources to meet identified programmatic and funding needs. On the communications side, the Director will contribute to strategies that make the case for the far-reaching benefits of an inclusive economy, as well as amplify the work of the Alliance and its partners and ensure timely and sufficient reporting to funders of economic development & inclusion efforts.

Internally, the Director will lead the work of the development team, supporting alignment and integration of fundraising strategy with the work of the program and events teams, leveraging data and technology to ensure NCFP supporters experience the responsive programming, community building, and impact that their contributions enable. Externally, the Director will build upon his/her/their deep understanding of the field of philanthropy to identify and cultivate opportunities for families and partner organizations to meaningfully engage with and support NCFP.

  NCFP seeks a proven fundraiser and partnership builder with a minimum 10 years of experience across a variety of fundraising strategies, including campaigns, and relevant knowledge of the field of philanthropy - particularly with family philanthropy, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional donors. The successful candidate will be an exceptional relationship builder, increasing rapport, trust, and investment across a diverse and growing community of passionate stakeholders. S/he/they will be a strong listener, communicator, and storyteller who can articulate and amplify the values, lived experiences, and lessons that demonstrate the potential and impact of the work.

  The salary for this position is $125,000 - $145,000 plus benefits, which include paid vacation; 10 holidays; new parent leave; 100% employee premium paid for medical/dental/vision insurance; retirement contribution; short and long-term disability and life insurance; and professional development.
