Reporting to the CEO, the inaugural Director, Major Gifts and Campaign will design and implement strategies, systems, and engagement frameworks that deepen connections and grow financial support from alumni and partners, and supporters across Canada. Specifically, the Director will lead the campaign’s fundraising efforts by managing major donor prospects, engaging volunteers, and guiding planning and goal setting; delivering a best practice major gifts program to support donor retention and growth. 
Earlier this year, KCI conducted a campaign planning study and has been engaged to provide pre-campaign counsel and prospect research support.  The Director will have the opportunity to work alongside KCI turning strategic vision into clear plans to drive meaningful support in an emerging fundraising environment.
While the RMCAA office is in Kingston, Ontario, we welcome applications from across Canada as this position can be performed remotely with domestic travel for donor related activities as well as meetings and events on campus in Kingston.

ABOUT THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGES OF CANADA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

The Royal Military Colleges of Canada Alumni Association (RMCAA) is a registered charity committed to the ongoing advancement and enhancement of the Canadian Military Colleges (CMCs). The Association supports individuals who have attended any program (undergraduate, post-graduate or continuing studies) at a Canadian Military College, whether it is the Royal Military College of Canada, Collège militaire royale de Saint-Jean, or Royal Roads Military College (and its predecessors).
Our alumni are spread across the country and around the world, but our connection to the CMCs and to each other remains strong. With more than 73 active classes spanning entry years from 1952 to 2025, and branches in major cities across Canada fostering close ties among alumni, we believe in the power of this network to enhance the personal and professional lives of our members, whether they are current students, serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces or veterans, while also strengthening the CMCs.
Supporting the CMCs four pillars (academics, bilingualism, military leadership and physical fitness), our mission is driven by the belief that the CMCs are more than just educational institutions; they are a foundational part of the profession of arms in Canada, the forge for Canada’s future leaders in military and industry, who will go on to make significant contributions to our nation in many fields.

OUR MISSION

To bring together our alumni and other members for their mutual benefit, support, mentorship and camaraderie; advance education by establishing and maintaining scholarships, bursaries and prizes; support and promote training and leadership programs by providing funding for programs and initiatives for the benefit of the Canadian Military Colleges to grow and develop Canada’s future leaders; establish, preserve, protect and commemorate monuments and significant heritage sites at the Canadian Military Colleges; enhance, preserve and promote the experience, history, traditions and culture of the Canadian Military Colleges; and to promote and advocate for the foregoing.

OUR HISTORY

The Royal Military College opened its doors to the first eighteen cadets in June 1876. A mere four years after the first class graduated, the first steps were taken to form the Ex Cadet Club.
This effort, initiated by two members of the first class at the College, #6 S.J.A. Denison (first Club Secretary) and #7 L.H. Irving (first Club President), resulted in the inauguration of the “Royal Military College Club” on March 15th, 1884. This event was highlighted by the Club’s inaugural Annual General Meeting and Club Dinner in Toronto.
In 1966, the Royal Military College Foundation was formed with the aim to provide philanthropic financial assistance to the Colleges. In 2021, The RMC Club and the RMC Foundation merged to form the Royal Military Colleges of Canada Alumni Association Inc.
Since 1876, more than 30,000 alumni have attended the CMCs. CMC alumni are leaders in the Canadian Armed Forces and woven into the fabric of Canada as leaders in business, science and technology, education, and politics. In supporting the CMCs, we are helping to build Canada’s future

WHAT WE DO

At the core of our work are two objectives: bringing together the alumni of the Canadian Military Colleges for mutual support, and a steadfast commitment to advancing education and leadership development at the CMCs to support Canada’s future leaders.
We achieve these objectives by bringing together alumni, whether undergraduate, graduate or continuing studies, and other members for their mutual benefit, support, mentorship and camaraderie through our support of branches, classes and other groups of alumni. We advance education by establishing and maintaining scholarships, bursaries and prizes while also supporting and promoting training and leadership programs to provide funding for initiatives that will help benefit the CMCs to grow and develop Canada’s future leaders.
We establish and preserve commemorating monuments and significant heritage sites at the CMCs, enhancing, preserving, and promoting the Colleges’ unique experiences, histories, traditions, and cultures. Our efforts ensure that current and future generations of Officer and Naval Cadets and post-graduate or continuing studies students benefit from the same values – Truth, Duty, Valour – that have shaped so many of Canada’s leaders.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Royal Military Colleges of Canada Museum – A Place of Reflection and Celebration
After years of thoughtful consultation with our alumni and key stakeholders, we are now poised to begin designing and building a new home for the Royal Military Colleges (RMC) Museum in Kingston, Ontario, a dynamic building and site worthy of RMC’s legacy and that of its sister Canadian Military Colleges (CMCs) and their contribution to shaping this country’s history.
For more than a century, the museum has collected an extraordinary collection of art, objects, and archives that celebrate the story of Point Frederick, the College, and the generations of people who have lived, learned, taught, and served here and at the other CMCs. This remarkable collection showcases far more than our history, it reflects the enduring spirit, values, and achievements that connect the RMC and its sister Canadian military colleges’ alumni for almost 150 years and across several generations.
Previously housed in the historic Martello Tower at Fort Frederick, the Museum’s collection was recently moved to ensure its long-term preservation. While it is now safely stored in a temporary location, it is largely inaccessible to the public or to researchers.   This moment offers an exciting opportunity to re-imagine how the collection can be displayed, shared, and celebrated with the public and the broader RMC community in more engaging and accessible ways.
In a time when pride in our national institutions and identity is more important than ever, the new museum will continue to stand as a powerful symbol of the heritage and leadership that have shaped Canada and the freedoms we enjoy today. By showcasing the stories of Canada’s nation-builders, heroes and protectors, the museum will serve as a custodian of some of the proudest moments in Canada’s history. The collection and visiting exhibitions will be curated in state of the art permanent and visiting exhibition spaces.

The new RMC Museum facility will:

  • ensure permanent and visiting valuable and irreplaceable archival documents, art and other artifacts of great historical significance to the military history and the broader history of Canada itself, will be safely and securely preserved and displayed
  • increase visibility for the CMCs and promote understanding of their role and influence in nation building
  • serve as a dynamic educational resource for students, alumni, youth, and the public
  • provide access to valuable primary resources for historical research
  • feature interactive exhibitions and multi-media storytelling
  • offer interactive elementary and high-school programming directly linked to the Ontario Curriculum
  • reach national audiences of all ages through virtual programming opportunities
  • enhance the colleges’ military training curriculum and inspire and instill pride in the Cadets and other undergraduate and graduate students by celebrating and honouring their predecessors
  • provide premier event space for the RMC Commandant, military staff and faculty, Cadets and other students, and suitable public gatherings
