Who We Are

For over 50 years, Distress Centre has served Calgary and Southern Alberta by providing 24-hour crisis support, information, and resources at no cost. Distress Centre does not define crisis. We do not judge. Anyone can call us day or night.

We are committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive workplace where employees are valued, experience a sense of belonging, and are confident being their most authentic selves. We welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and members of equity-deserving groups. We value all the ways that our community is diverse – in identity, experience and perspective.

What to Expect

The Major Gifts Officer reports to the Director, External Relations & Development and is responsible for growing philanthropic support for the Basic Needs Fund (BNF) Collaborative, a partnership between Distress Centre, CUPS, and Rise Calgary, as well as Distress Centre’s broader fundraising initiatives. In this role, you’ll be a key connector between funders, our collaborative partners, and Distress Centre, helping secure sustainable investment in work that meets people’s basic needs across our community.

You’ll manage a portfolio of major donors and prospects, lead grant development, and build lasting relationships with funders and our collaborative partners. You’ll also help show the real community impact of every investment through clear, transparent reporting.

Working closely with our CEO and leadership team, you’ll find new funding opportunities and partnerships that help the BNF Collaborative grow and thrive. If you love building relationships and turning generosity into meaningful change, we’d love to meet you.

Manage an active portfolio of donors and prospects
Create personalized stewardship, recognition, and updates that show donors the difference they make and inspire renewed and increased giving
Partner with the CEO on priority donor relationships and executive-level engagement

Grants & Institutional Funding

Research foundation, corporate, government, and other institutional funding opportunities
Write compelling proposals, cases for support, and budgets that reflect BNF Collaborative and Distress Centre priorities
Coordinate submissions and keep a healthy pipeline of funding prospects

Partnership, Reporting & Impact

Work closely with partners, our leadership team, and community stakeholders to align priorities and uncover new funding opportunities
Gather impact stories and data that bring our work to life for funders
Keep accurate records of gifts, grants, commitments, outcomes, and return on investment, and coordinate fundraising-related financial reconciliation
Prepare clear reports, presentations, and recommendations for leadership decision-making

What You Bring

A bachelor’s degree in fundraising or philanthropy, nonprofit management, or a related field; an equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered.
5+ years of major gift fundraising experience, including managing a donor portfolio through identification, qualification, solicitation, and stewardship.
Experience writing compelling grant proposals, cases for support, budgets, and reports for foundations, corporations, government, or other institutional funders
Experience designing stewardship and recognition activities that keep donors engaged and growing their support
Proven interpersonal and cultural competency skills to work effectively and respectfully with people from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences
Exceptional writing, storytelling, and presentation skills, with the ability to tailor your message to different audiences
Confidence working alongside senior leaders, community partners, donors, and funders to align priorities and build strategic partnerships
Strong organization and sound judgement, with a sharp eye for accuracy when handling fundraising data, financial details, and confidential information
