Gestionnaire, philanthropie et collecte de fonds

À propos de Ottawa Chamberfest

Pilier de longue date de la communauté musicale d'Ottawa, avec une portée nationale et internationale, la Société de musique de chambre d'Ottawa (OCMS) entame sa 32ieme année d'activité en 2025/26. Fondée en 1994, l'OCMS est un organisme de bienfaisance enregistré auprès de l'Agence du revenu du Canada. Notre organisation caritative présente une programmation tout au long de l'année, y compris un festival de musique estival annuel, invitant des artistes et des publics locaux, nationaux et internationaux dans de magnifiques espaces acoustiques.

Sous la direction artistique de la violoniste Carissa Klopoushak, notre programmation annuelle couvre un large éventail de musique de chambre, de la musique traditionnelle à la musique contemporaine, pour un public tout aussi large et dynamique.  Nous nous engageons à atteindre l'excellence artistique, à proposer une programmation novatrice, à favoriser l'engagement communautaire et l'inclusion, et ce grâce à nos trois piliers de programmation : notre série de concerts automne-hiver; notre festival annuel d'été; et une gamme complète de programmes en Engagement communautaire et éducation (ECE). Les programmes ECE rendent la musique accessible à divers publics grâce à des événements tels que des concerts adaptés aux besoins spéciaux et aux communautés neurodiverses, des concerts pour la famille comme la série Amenez les enfants , des concerts gratuits dans les quartiers tels que Chamber Pints et la Série dans la cité, et des programmes éducatifs pour les musiciens émergents tels que les Etoiles montantes et Chamber Chats. Ce pilier se concentre également sur la création de communautés, en personne et en ligne, allant chercher de nouveaux publics en introduisant la musique dans les écoles, les établissements de soins et les espaces publics de toute la ville d'Ottawa. Sur le plan organisationnel, nous alignons nos opérations afin de répondre à, et d'avoir un impact positif sur, cette période de changement qui sévit tant au niveau de la société que de l'écosystème artistique, avec un enthousiasme et une créativité débordante.

Ottawa Chamberfest œuvre à la construction d'un monde où les droits, la dignité et la valeur de chaque être humain sont respectés et célébrés ; nous accordons une grande importance à l'équité et à la diversité. L'organisation s'efforce de créer un climat respectueux, sûr et inclusif, où chacun se sent bienvenue et valorisé, et où tous sont encouragés à apporter leur contribution.

Manager, Philanthropy and Fundraising

About Ottawa Chamberfest

A long-established pillar of Ottawa’s music community with national and international reach, the Ottawa Chamber Music Society (OCMS) is embarking on its 32nd year of operation in 2025/26. Founded in 1994, OCMS is a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency. Our charitable organization presents year-round programming—including an annual summer music festival—inviting local, national, and international artists and audiences into beautiful acoustic spaces.

Under the artistic direction of violinist Carissa Klopoushak, our year-long programming encompasses a broad spectrum of traditional-to-contemporary chamber music for equally broad and dynamic audiences.  We are committed to artistic excellence, innovative programming, community engagement, and inclusion through our three pillars of programming: our fall-winter Concert Series, our annual Summer Festival, and a full suite of Community Engagement and Education programming, which makes music accessible to diverse audiences through events like adaptive concerts for disability and neurodiverse communities, family-friendly concerts like the Bring the Kids! series, free neighbourhood concerts such as Chamber Pints and the City Series, and educational programs for emerging musicians like the Rising Stars showcase and Chamber Chats. This pillar also focuses on in-person and online community building, reaching new audiences by bringing music to schools, care facilities, and public spaces throughout Ottawa.) Organizationally, we are aligning our operations to meet and positively impact this time of both societal and arts ecosystem change with wide-eyed enthusiasm and creativity.

Ottawa Chamberfest works to build a world where the rights, dignity, and worth of every human being is respected and celebrated; we value equity and diversity. The organization strives to create a climate that is respectful, safe, and inclusive – where all feel welcome and valued, and where all are supported to make their contribution.

About the Role
The Manager, Philanthropy and Fundraising is a key position that bridges our organization’s work to audiences and the greater community!

This role designs and leads a comprehensive donor and fundraising plan with short-term and long-term targets that strategically activate individuals, foundations, corporations, and community partners. The fundraising plan incorporates current assets while developing new properties.

Internally, this role reports to the Executive Director with a strong thread to the Artistic Director.

Managing Director

Shakespeare in the Ruins is seeking a vibrant, energetic theatre administrator to join us as Managing Director. In this senior leadership role, you’ll partner closely with our Artistic Director to oversee every facet of production, from budgeting, fundraising, and site logistics to volunteer coordination and audience engagement, tapping into the full spectrum of theatre management. You’ll steward SIR’s unique promenade-style performance ecology, championing immersive productions, cultivating community partnerships, and shaping our operational vision. This collaborative opportunity is an important next step in your arts-administration career, where your energy and expertise will help define Winnipeg’s summer theatre experience.

About Shakespeare in the Ruins
Located on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg—consistently ranked among Canada’s most affordable major cities—Shakespeare in the Ruins (SIR) is Manitoba’s only professional theatre company dedicated to producing and revitalizing the works of William Shakespeare and the classical canon. Every spring, we present our signature promenade-style performances under the open prairie sky at the Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park - “The Ruins.” Since our founding in 1993 by some of Winnipeg’s brightest theatre artists, we’ve championed the creation, development, and presentation of Shakespeare-adjacent new work, environmental and site-specific staging, and nurtured the next generation of theatre professionals. Our mission is to connect timeless texts with today’s audiences through inventive staging and community partnerships. Learn more about our history at https://shakespeareintheruins.com/about/history/

To support out-of-town candidates, we offer a modest relocation bonus, so you can make the move to our vibrant, accessible, and affordable arts community.

Our Values
At SIR, we approach Shakespeare and the classical canon with expansion and inclusion, challenging assumptions about what classical theatre can be in the 21st century. We place Shakespeare in conversation with works from the Spanish Golden Age, Latinx and Queer playwrights, and other under-represented cultures whose dramatic traditions stretch back before Shakespeare’s time. We believe our greatest assets are collaboration, creativity, and courage—both onstage and off. We prize cooperation, transparency, and the equitable sharing of our collective gifts. Our casting reflects Manitoba’s rich diversity, and we’re committed to inclusion, decolonization, and access in everything we do.
