    The Opportunity

    The Day Care Council of New York (DCCNY) is seeking an inaugural Director of Institutional Giving who will lead its corporate and foundation fund development efforts and have primary responsibility for strengthening the internal infrastructure needed to support and grow the organization’s budget through foundation and corporate donors. The ideal candidate will be an experienced development professional who enjoys collaborating with senior staff, can self-manage, flawlessly write fundraising materials, easily toggle between setting big-picture strategy and fulfilling detail-oriented operational fundraising needs, and has the experience and gravitas to lead staff and board fundraising conversations around corporate and foundation giving. Under the strategic direction of the Director of Institutional Giving, DCCNY aims to cultivate and strengthen its relationships with funders, while also expanding and diversifying its donor base and pipeline to include additional foundation and corporate support. DCCNY has an annual operating budget of approximately $15M for FY25, and the current revenue model is comprised of government grants (97%), membership dues (2%), and grants and contributions (1%). There is tremendous revenue growth potential from previously unexplored foundation and corporate donors, and the Director of Institutional Giving will oversee this growth and will not lead government grant efforts. This full-time, New York City-based hybrid position will report to the Executive Director.

    More About DCCNY

    Now in its 77th year, the Day Care Council of New York (DCCNY) is a membership, advocacy, and service organization for NYC’s early childhood education providers and for families seeking quality early childhood education and care services. Founded in 1948 to fight for the survival of publicly funded child care centers when federal funds were eliminated at the end of World War II, today, DCCNY continues to play several important roles in NYC’s early childhood education system. With a mission to seek support for and assist in the development of quality early childhood education and family and group family care services, which are designed to promote the sound growth and development of children and their families, DCCNY is recognized as a leader in NYC’s advocacy community. DCCNY collaborates with member agencies on labor relations, public policy, and training needs.

    As a leading research and advocacy organization, DCCNY pushed for NYC’s continued expansion of early childhood education, including the launch of Universal Pre-K programs, salary parity for community-based early childhood educators, and the retention of several initiatives introduced through emergency orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in support of families’ ability to access affordable quality child care. DCCNY continues to push for public support of high-quality, affordable child care for low-income families in NYC and serves as a resource to center-based providers and their governing boards of directors, and family and group family child care providers.
