The Lab School of Washington

The Lab School of Washington seeks a Director of Strategic Philanthropy who will grow the school’s philanthropic support through strategic engagement of leadership and major donors. The MGO will manage a portfolio of 60 –100 donors and prospects, capable of contributing $25,000 and above annually, and play a key role customizing and growing Lab’s major gifts, planned giving, and capital campaign efforts. They will also be responsible for soliciting some institutional grants. This is a highly relational role that blends frontline fundraising with strategy, analysis, and donor stewardship in support of Lab’s mission.

At The Lab School of Washington, students with language-based learning differences, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, feel at home. They are given the support and scaffolding to embrace how they learn and to use it to their advantage. The result? A student body that thrives. Their curriculum is intentionally different and is designed to support individual learners where they are, always with an eye of where they are headed. At Lab, they cultivate proficient learners across all subject areas by tailoring their instruction and by building the confidence of their students. After all, here at Lab they embrace differences as advantages, not deficits. Their innovative approach to education does more than impart knowledge: the focus on problem-solving allows students to blossom in other areas of their lives. Their project-based educational model focuses on developing strong habits of mind, executive functioning skills, and self-advocacy in order to develop confident, capable learners.
