Director of Strategic Philanthropy, Northeast Region
American Friends of Magen David Adom - New York, NY
American Friends of Magen David Adom is seeking a Director of Strategic Philanthropy, Northeast Region who will serve as the senior fundraising leader for a region encompassing the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. This leader will set the strategic vision for the region, drive fundraising efforts, and oversee regional operations to ensure continued growth and success. This leader will foster greater alignment and collaboration across the organization, strengthen the national brand, and help build a pipeline for board engagement and representation. The role will partner closely with an active and highly committed lay leadership structure, including the Leadership Council, whose members serve as influential ambassadors, philanthropists, and door-openers throughout the region.
This position is eligible for a hybrid work schedule with two to three work-from-home days.
American Friends of Magen David Adom (AFMDA) is a partner in the vital work Magen David Adom (MDA) does every day for Israel’s 9.2 million population by funding a wide variety of emergency vehicles, a new national blood center, critically needed medical supplies, and rigorous EMT training. AFMDA is one of the fastest-growing Jewish nonprofit organizations in the US. As Israel’s official representative to the International Red Cross, Magen David Adom’s role precludes it from accepting governmental support for its general operations. Because of this arrangement, MDA relies on support from donors, including those from the United States, to keep its dispatch systems, training, and equipment the best in the world.
"What makes this role truly special is not only the mission, but the culture and the opportunity. It is a place where talented, driven, and mission-oriented professionals can grow, lead, and make a measurable difference—while being part of an organization that is both globally respected and deeply human in its work.
I invite you to join us in this work—helping to keep Israel safe, secure, and healthy, and ensuring that when a call for help comes in, the answer is always yes. Every day in this role is an opportunity to create real impact and be part of something that saves lives in the most direct way possible." — Samuel Kong, Chief Development Officer
