Kanuga Conferences, Inc.

Overview: Founded in 1928, Kanuga is one of the largest camp and conference center complexes serving the Episcopal Church and the global Anglican Communion. An independent non-profit corporation, Kanuga has five principal entities: a year-round conference center, two separate summer camps, a residential environmental science school and an endowment corporation. Kanuga annually serves more than 25,000 guests, concentrated in the southeastern U.S. but extending worldwide. The community served by Kanuga is demographically diverse and spans the full spectrum of theological points of view in the Episcopal Church.

Kanuga has attained the size and scope needed to sustain itself, relying on charitable giving to do so. To meet that need, the Institutional Advancement Division is a fast-paced, high-volume and critical entity within Kanuga’s organizational structure. Funds raised by the division support Kanuga’s $7-8 million operating budget and on-going capital improvements, such as those outlined in Kanuga’s long-range plans. The President serves as the CEO for the five entities listed above, is actively engaged in development and is a critical player in securing major gifts.

As it embarks on a major capital campaign, Kanuga seeks to significantly strengthen its development staffing and capabilities. To lead those efforts and accelerate engagement of the historically generous Kanuga community, we are searching for a creative, highly entrepreneurial and team-oriented leader to serve as its Development Director, managing the growth of four key development activities (described in Principal Responsibilities Section).

Kanuga's Mission: To provide for God's people in this broken world a glimpse of the Kingdom through hearing the Gospel, experiencing Christian community and being empowered for strength, growth and service in both our individual communities and in the rest of God's creation.
