Director, Philanthropy

THE OPPORTUNITY

At the Art Gallery of Ontario, we are seeking a Director, Philanthropy to lead strategy development and implementation of fundraising programs designed to drive growth, build a strong donor pipeline, deepen donor relationships, and provide donors with excellent stewardship.

This is a very exciting time for us. We have a very ambitious plan to become recognized as a global leader in the art world. This is a time that calls for people with bold vision, courage, and an innovative spirit. For this reason, we are seeking a person who can lead with commitment and passion, and who can motivate and engage employees, volunteers and donors in our AGO 2028 vision.

Reporting to the Chief Development Officer (CDO), the Director will lead the Philanthropy team that is responsible for generating revenue for annual operations and long-term priorities, including our upcoming campaign. The Director, Philanthropy will consult and collaborate with the CDO, our executive management and leadership volunteers to ensure success in achieving overall financial and non-financial objectives. Also responsible for a personal portfolio of prospects, the Director will partner with our CDO and other senior leaders to formulate and implement customized strategies for acquiring, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding donors.

We want to attract, nurture and retain a world-class team, and we are looking for someone who can support this goal through practical, inspired leadership. The Director will develop a high-performance Philanthropy team, and will effectively guide and coach this team, providing strategic direction and leadership on the design and delivery of annual campaigns, major gifts, foundation and government grants, and planned giving.

As a member of our Development leadership team, the new Director will play a key role in the planning and execution of tactics for the Development Division as a whole. This is an exciting and unique opportunity for a talented fundraiser and people leader to join a team that is passionate about promoting community, creativity and culture in the city of Toronto and beyond.

 

ABOUT THE ART GALLERY OF ONTARIO

We care deeply about our mission of Art, Audience, and Learning. At the AGO, we believe in the transformative power of art.

We recently completed a 10 year visioning exercise AGO 2028 that will see us lead global conversations from Toronto through extraordinary collections, exhibitions and programs, and by reflecting the people who live here. Our path forward is guided by an operational plan with four major strategic drivers – Content & Program, Diversity & Inclusion, Brand & Audience, and Admission - and an ambitious fundraising campaign in support of four grand initiatives.

We change as our city changes. Toronto is one of the world’s most diverse, vibrant and healthy cities, with a distinctive energy that comes from a mix of many different cultures. Toronto stands out as an aspirational example of inclusivity. Looking ahead to the next 10 years, we will harness the energy of Toronto to become among the great global museums, generating and presenting vital collections and exhibitions with significant contemporary relevance.

In the future, we will launch ambitious initiatives that will position the AGO as:

  • A leader in presenting Canadian exhibitions and programs to the world
  • A partner of choice to leading global museums that will enable us to bring the highest quality exhibitions and programs to the AGO
  • The beneficiary of outstanding collections of art
  • A leader in contributing to the global conversation about important issues of our time

We’ve come a long way since we were founded in 1900. In 2018, we welcomed over one million visitors, the highest annual attendance since our re-opening in 2008. When we announced a bold revamp of our admission model in Spring 2019, the public response was immediate. In the six months since launching our Annual Pass, which is free for visitors aged 25 and under and $35 for those 26 and up, more than 100,000 people have signed up. This has been a significant achievement in making art more accessible to everyone. Annual passholders have doubled our community that already includes approximately 100,000 AGO Members across 55,000 member households – a number that has been maintained over the past five fiscal years. In total, our reachable audience of patrons, members and passholders is now over 250,000, which is larger than that of the MOMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

One of the largest art museums in North America, our collection of over 98,000 works ranges from cutting-edge contemporary art to European masterpieces; from the vast collection by the Group of Seven to works by established and emerging Indigenous Canadian artists; with a photography collection that tracks the impact of the medium; and with focused collections in Gothic boxwood miniatures and Western and Central African art.

With our collection, the gallery focuses on five main areas:

  • Indigenous & Canadian art
  • European art
  • Prints and drawings
  • Photography
  • Modern and contemporary art

We are also a place of education and research for the community and for professionals. We offer courses for families adults, youth, and children, as well as a wide variety of family programs, summer camps, and school programs. The E.P. Taylor Library & Archives is a leading Canadian centre for research in art, with over 300,000 volumes, artist files, and art-related archives and special collections. In addition, the Marvin Gelber Print and Drawing Study Centre is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the study of prints, drawings and photographs, and houses over 70,000 works which date from the 13th century to the present day.

 

PHILANTHROPY AT THE AGO

As a beacon of cultural significance and creative exhibition, we have been supported throughout the years by a generous community of members, patrons and art enthusiasts from across the country. Philanthropic contributions have most recently helped us acquire 246 new works of art, bringing its total collection to just over 98,000 works.

We are grateful for generous contributions from AGO members, donors and private-sector partners. In addition, we are funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, the City of Toronto, and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Our Development programs include major gifts, bequests, annual giving and special events, as well as gifts of art and other in-kind donations. Our priorities are also supported through a number of endowment funds, which collectively total nearly $100M. Private sector revenues, including memberships, individual and corporate giving, sponsorships, and fundraising events, represent approximately 30% of total operating revenues.

Currently we raise about $10M per year in philanthropic support for operations, and an additional $5+M in designated funding. This will rise exponentially during our upcoming campaign, which will be the most ambitious in AGO history. Our goal is to raise $500M in capital, endowment, expendible gifts and works of art in support of our 10-year strategic vision.
