The Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK), a leading nonprofit domestic violence agency devoted to preventing domestic violence in Asian families and communities for over 15 years, seeks nominations and applications for a dynamic new Director of Development to manage and grow all aspects of ATASK's philanthropic support and networks of supporters. This search is being conducted by Nonprofit Professionals Advisory Group.

Reporting to the President, the Director of Development has overall responsibility for ATASK's individual, corporate, and foundation fundraising activities. In partnership with the President and the Board, s/he will devise a comprehensive fundraising strategy to support the agency's short and long-term strategic objectives, and develop and implement an 
annual development and communications plan that includes prospect identification, cultivation, solicitation and stewardship of existing and potential individual and institutional donors. This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneurial and strategic development professional with strong managerial and fundraising skills to capitalize on ATASK's sound financial base and strong reputation, and to guide the agency through its next stage of development.  

About ATASK:
Founded in 1992 to address the inadequate resources available to Asian survivors of domestic violence, ATASK has managed New England's only multilingual emergency shelter, advocacy services, outreach efforts and educational programs for families and their children. With three service locations within Greater Boston and Lowell and a budget of over $1.8 million, ATASK has become a leader in educating and mobilizing social service organizations and the broader public on domestic violence issues specific to Asian communities, and has become a model organization in Massachusetts, throughout the United States and across the globe. 

Challenges and Opportunities for the Director of Development:
Building on a strong foundation, the new Director of Development will achieve ongoing growth in current commitments of support as well as to cultivate relationships with new prospects. One key area of focus will be to build a major gifts program by researching prospects, visiting donors, and increasing the giving levels of existing donors who have financial capacity. S/he will work as a member of the Senior Management Team, supervise a development staff of two, and provide support to the Board Development Committee. S/he will continue to strengthen relationships with and strategically draw upon the talent and resources of the Board of Directors to guide ATASK's long-term financial health. 
The Director of Development will also serve as an ambassador of the agency acting as a key liaison between ATASK and the community. S/he will oversee marketing and public relations efforts and coordinate promotional materials to raise ATASK's profile and brand position as the leader in providing support services to survivors of domestic violence in the Asian community.
