Help Grow a Community of Supporters. Help Donors Fund their Wild!

What if your next fundraising success wasn't measured only in dollars raised—and in miles of trails improved, forests restored, children discovering nature for the first time, and families creating lifelong memories in the parks they love?

At Great Parks Forever
, philanthropy fuels the future of Hamilton County’s largest park system. As our Individual Giving Manager
, you'll play a leading role in inspiring generosity, cultivating lasting donor relationships, and helping transform ambitious conservation and community projects into reality.

This is an opportunity to build a best-in-class individual giving program that celebrates every donor's impact—from first-time supporters to lifelong champions. You'll lead meaningful stewardship experiences, develop innovative fundraising strategies, and help donors see how their generosity protects natural habitats, expands outdoor recreation, preserves local history, and creates healthier communities for generations to come.

We're looking for someone who is equal parts relationship builder, strategist, storyteller, and champion for the outdoors. Someone who believes philanthropy is about people first and who is excited to connect donors with a mission that truly matters.

Our next donor could restore a forest, connect a trail, inspire a child, or preserve a piece of history. Join Great Parks Forever and help turn generosity into lasting impact.
