The Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF) is not a traditional research foundation. We operate as a patient-centered drug discovery engine for NF, a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves affecting 1 in 2,000 individuals. We operate by accelerating the full continuum of scientific discovery, from basic research through translation to clinical trials and approved treatments — while empowering patients and building the financial infrastructure to support that journey.

We catalyze progress by uniting academia, industry, regulators, and patient advocates around shared goals.

The Director of Corporate Philanthropy and Partnerships (DCPP) is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive fundraising strategy to grow corporate and independent foundation support for CTF. The Director will cultivate and secure partnerships across the pharmaceutical, biotech, technology, data, healthcare, and other science-related industries, while also developing corporate and in-kind partnerships that provide budget relief for the CTF Conference and Summit.

The DCPP will also support CTF’s peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns.

The DCPP will lead efforts to identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward independent foundation partners, with a particular focus on (but not limited to) science- and healthcare-focused funders whose priorities align with CTF’s mission and strategic initiatives. This includes securing grants to advance CTF’s research, scientific, and healthcare programs.

Working closely with CTF staff, and volunteers, the Director will leverage relationships and networks to build a strong pipeline of prospective partners, deepen existing relationships, and grow long-term institutional support advancing our mission through funding opportunities. The Director will bring demonstrated experience in corporate and foundation fundraising, relationship development and stewardship, and effectively engaging volunteers and organizational leaders in the fundraising process.
