Schedule: Four-day work week | Hybrid

The Alliance of Idaho is looking for an experienced, creative, relationship-centered Director of Development to help us build the fundraising program that will sustain our next chapter of growth.

About The Alliance

The Alliance of Idaho is a nonprofit immigration legal services organization serving families in Blaine County and communities throughout rural Idaho. We help people navigate an immigration system that can be complicated, stressful, and constantly changing.

Our office is busy, collaborative, and deeply committed to our clients. In immigration law, details matter. Paperwork can save lives. An appointment scheduled on time, a document placed in the right file, or a message quickly delivered to an attorney can make an enormous difference.

We currently raise approximately $750,000 annually, and we are looking for someone who can help us build toward $1.5 million in sustainable annual fundraising.

What You’ll Do

At its heart, this is a relationship-building job. You’ll work closely with our Executive Director, staff, Board, donors, and community to:

  • Build and lead The Alliance’s overall fundraising strategy

  • Develop meaningful relationships with current and prospective donors

  • Grow our major gifts and individual giving programs

  • Lead foundation and grant fundraising'

  • Create gatherings and other opportunities that bring people closer to our work

  • Strengthen the systems we use to track, acknowledge, and steward donors

  • Help our Executive Director and Board become even more effective fundraisers

  • Work with our communications team to tell compelling stories about The Alliance’s work and impact

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has significant nonprofit fundraising experience

  • Has successfully cultivated major donors and grown contributed revenue

  • Loves building genuine relationships with people

  • Is a strong writer, communicator, and storyteller

  • Can think strategically and make things happen

  • Is organized and comfortable building systems

  • Enjoys working collaboratively rather than operating in a silo

  • Believes deeply in dignity, justice, belonging, and the rights of immigrant families

What It’s Like to Work Here

The work we do is serious. Our workplace doesn’t have to be.
We are a collaborative, creative team that works hard, laughs a lot, shares ideas freely, and steps in for one another. We believe people can do difficult and meaningful work without making the workplace itself difficult.

We also believe rest matters. Our staff works a four-day week, Monday–Thursday, because taking care of the people doing the work is part of taking care of the work itself.

This is a hybrid position based in Hailey, Idaho. The Director of Development should plan to work from The Alliance office approximately two days each week and meet regularly in person with donors and community partners. If you are excited about helping a growing organization build the relationships and resources it needs to serve immigrant families across rural Idaho, we’d love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please send a resume and brief cover letter to our Executive Director Becky Lopez at becky@allianceofidaho.org telling us a little about yourself, your fundraising experience, and why you’re interested in joining The Alliance of Idaho. We know that great candidates don’t always meet every qualification listed in a job posting. If this work speaks to you and you believe you could help The Alliance grow, we encourage you to apply.

Deadline: October 1, 2026
