Vice President, Philanthropy & Partnerships

We are seeking a new leader for our Philanthropy and Partnerships team in Canada, someone who can lead a talented fundraising team to inspire Canadian supporters to engage and invest in some of our exciting visions for the future: unleashing the hope, initiative and creativity of vulnerable young people to help transform their lives; providing families the tools to overcome extreme poverty in the world’s most fragile places;

giving women and girls the opportunities to flourish and reach their full potential. When you work at World Vision, your passions and talents come together to meet the greatest needs in the world today. As we follow Jesus, we go to ends of the earth and into the margins. Where few go and the road is less traveled. This servant leader will work with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure alignment with the enterprise organization strategy, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and the World Vision partnership aspiration.

The Vice President, Philanthropy and Partnerships will generate value and raise funds for World Vision’s international programs through leadership of all philanthropic engagement and relationships with high-net-worth individuals, corporations, foundations, and legacy givers as well as develop meaningful partnerships with Canadian churches.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will participate in strategic planning for the organization and create a growth plan for the Philanthropy and Partnerships team that inspires and provides a way for Canadians to shift the typical charitable value exchange from simply good will to effective impact in the world. We aspire for World Vision Canada to be the top partner of choice for high-net-worth givers and other specialized partners.

World Vision is a global community of millions, working together for one purpose: to change the lives of vulnerable children.

World Vision is the largest child-focused private charity in the world. Our 34,000+ staff members working in nearly 100 countries have united with our incredible supporters to impact the lives of over 200 million vulnerable children by tackling the root causes of poverty.

Through World Vision every 60 seconds

…a family gets water

…a hungry child is fed

…a family receives the tools to overcome poverty.

We welcome anyone with the will to make a positive change for children and who shares our vision.

World Vision’s work began in the 1950s, with one man who committed to help one child in one country with just $5. That man was Bob Pierce — a preacher and war correspondent who witnessed tragedy and poverty as he helped missionaries across Asia. He began work in China and Korea dedicated to the care of orphans, and personally raised financial support that came almost exclusively from churches and the Christian community in the United States.

Today, 70 years later, World Vision has grown into a global organization with a sweeping scope: helping approximately 35 million children and their families, through over 37,000 global staff and projects in nearly 100 countries.
