The Director of Silicon Valley Philanthropy will be responsible for securing new streams of revenue from the emergent philanthropic landscape in Silicon Valley, contributing to the sustainability of KQED’s vibrant and essential public service. This new position will develop philanthropic support from a portfolio of ultra-high net worth individuals, family foundations, and entities such as family offices, LLCs, and philanthropic advisories, often complex in nature. The successful candidate will possess a deep understanding of the philanthropic culture within Silicon Valley and will build a new portfolio of giving by surfacing, cultivating, and inspiring new donors and funders. This position will work together with KQED’s major gifts and grants teams, sometimes in joint cultivation with existing relationship managers, as well as with KQED leadership (executive and volunteer), to identify compelling gift opportunities and create a pathway to major gifts in support of news and programming, education services, and next-generation media platforms. This role calls for unconventional thinking and approaches, resilience to obstacles, and creativity in reaching alignment and innovation, both internally and externally.
