The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies is a dynamic museum, art gallery, and archives that celebrates the lively history, stories, and people of the Rocky Mountains. Founded by Peter Whyte and Catharine Robb Whyte, it was envisioned as a gathering place to engage with the evolving history, peoples, cultures, environment, and ideas of mountain cultures. We provide memorable experiences that give individuals new ways to look at the world and to consider their place in this mountain landscape.
The Opportunity
In service of the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies’ mission, vision and strategic priorities, the Development Office generates revenue to meet or exceed annual and/or campaign targets, assists its private and public supporters with meeting their giving objectives in line with the Museum’s strategic priorities, and builds strong and lasting relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
The Development Director has specific responsibilities and accountabilities in the qualification, cultivation, solicitation, recognition, and stewardship of supporters/prospects with the goal of securing commitments (annual and multi-year) within a specific portfolio for identified fundraising priorities (annual and campaign). The Development Director manages relationships with donors, sponsors, and other supporters to maximize the Whyte Museum’s ability to raise funds on a sustainable basis.
