ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a nonpartisan research and policy institute that advances federal and state policies to help build a nation where everyone — regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, ZIP code, immigration status, or disability status — has the resources they need to thrive and share in the nation’s prosperity.

CBPP combines rigorous research and analysis, strategic communications, and effective advocacy to shape debates, affect policy, and inform effective implementation both nationally and in states. It works closely with a broad set of national, state, and community organizations to design and advance policies that promote economic justice; improve health; broaden opportunity in areas like housing, health care, employment, and education; and lower structural barriers for people of color and others in communities that continue to face systemic barriers to opportunity. CBPP promotes policies that will build a more equitable nation and fair tax policies that can support these gains over the long term. CBPP also shows the harmful impacts of policies and proposals that would deepen poverty, widen disparities, and worsen health outcomes.

CBPP has a staff of more than 150, and an annual budget near $50 million, including over $10 million in regranting funds to its partner organizations.

ABOUT THE ROLE

CBPP seeks a full-time Deputy Chief Development Officer (Deputy CDO) to join its Development team, based in the Washington, DC office.

The Deputy CDO provides key leadership and management oversight of the strategic work of CBPP’s nine-person Development team. This senior position reports to the Chief Development Officer and partners closely with them to develop and implement the organization’s fundraising strategy. The Deputy CDO will oversee all new fundraising cultivation and solicitation, working with foundations, individuals, and other philanthropic entities.  The Deputy CDO will develop deep familiarity with CBPP donors and their giving histories and areas of interest, and will work collaboratively with the Chief Development Officer and other team members to create and execute a responsive donor engagement plan that includes a robust offering of opportunities for donors to connect with CBPP’s work and mission to build a nation where everyone has what they want and need to thrive.
