Chief Development Officer

Chief Development Officer

The Opportunity

The Museum is seeking an enterprising and mission-driven lead fundraising executive to further develop a robust culture of philanthropy in the Museum. The Chief Development Officer (CDO) will possess vision, passion, and strong leadership abilities, and will work closely with the Board, the Director and CEO, and the senior leadership team to further advance the Museum’s mission to foster greater understanding of Muslim civilizations, and to connect cultures through art.

Reporting directly to the Director and CEO, the CDO will provide strategic leadership and operational expertise for all fundraising-related activities for the Museum. Over the first five years of its operations, the Museum has built a strong base of 4000 Canadian and international supporters. This is a loyal base including patron level members who demonstrate their commitment to our mission through a high annual renewal rate of 80%.

The Museum currently raises approximately $9.0 million annually, and seeks a CDO who will work with a Development team of 10 - 15 to strategically raise the sights of this annual goal year over year. The CDO will also manage a new fundraising campaign aimed at building a $150M endowment by securing pledges over the next three years.

About The Aga Khan Museum

Art is a powerful tool for changing perceptions. It stimulates new ideas and experiences and inspires us to contemplate our identity, celebrate our history, plan for the future, and see the world through different eyes.

Through art we have the capacity to bring people together of all races, cultures, genders and religions to spark important dialogue, break down stereotypes and foster social inclusivity. According to a recent survey by Business for the Arts, engagement in the arts is helping to improve creativity, empathy, and understanding, and nurture healthier, more integrated communities.

By connecting cultures through the arts, the Aga Khan Museum is opening the eyes of tens of thousands of people each year to the positive truths about Islamic communities that today represent almost one-quarter of the world’s population, include a diversity of cultures, and boast a rich history of contributions to world heritage that have shaped and touched us all.

Few, if any, public institutions in the world are making this kind of outcome a priority today.

Opened in September 2014, the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, offers visitors a window into worlds unknown or unfamiliar: the artistic, intellectual, and scientific heritage of Muslim civilizations across the centuries from the Iberian Peninsula to China. Our mission is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the contribution that Muslim civilizations have made to world heritage, and to connect cultures through art.

Honouring the spirit of collaboration upon which the Museum is built, the Aga Khan Museum is deeply committed to both forging relationships with Canadian institutions and communities, and to preserving an international mandate. It maintains strong global ties with such institutions as the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar.

As a vibrant educational institution, the Museum encourages the full spectrum of public engagement with its exhibitions, live arts programming, and diverse Permanent Collection of more than 1,000 objects dating from the 8th to the 21st centuries.

The Aga Khan Museum is part of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). Founded and chaired by His Highness the Aga Khan, the AKDN is a private, international, non-denominational development organization that works to improve living conditions and opportunities for people in the developing world. His Highness is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, and has received honourary citizenship from Canada.

Development at the Aga Khan Museum

The Aga Khan Museum relies on the generosity of donors and members in Canada and around the globe to sustain its vision of building bridges between cultures through the arts. This support helps to promote the understanding and appreciation of the beauty of the arts of Muslim civilizations and knowledge of their contributions to world heritage.

Donations from individuals, corporations, government and foundation grants directly support the activities of the Aga Khan Museum, necessary to maintain our exceptional Permanent Collection and sustain its roster of exhibitions, education programs, performances, and events.

His Highness the Aga Khan invested generously to construct the Museum and provided the Permanent Collection and we continue to benefit from annual operating grants from the Aga Khan Foundation. While this solid base of support is critical for the Museum’s operations, the community plays an important role in supporting our ongoing efforts to build bridges and strengthen global community ties. Each year over 4,000 Museum supporters contribute approximately $9 million to support the Collection, exhibitions, performing arts and education programs.

Stretching beyond this support to realize our vision for the future will require new investment and additional donors who share our commitment to art and pluralism. We are excited to be moving forward with this vision.

Fundraising Campaign

The Aga Khan Museum has a bold agenda for growth and transformation over the next ten years. Building upon the success of its first five years, it aims to take its educational, research and programming initiatives to a whole new level. It plans to expand its educational footprint to schools both in Toronto and outside, and to use its international partnerships with world-class institutions to create ground-breaking exhibitions and original performances. It seeks to steward and grow its incredible donor base which has supported it enthusiastically from day one and provides more than half of its annual income. Most important, it seeks to deepen its impact on audiences and civil society, demonstrating the power of the arts to change perceptions and change minds.

In order to facilitate this growth, the Museum is embarking on a $250 million fundraising campaign over the period 2020-2029 that aims to bring it financial sustainability and room for growth. The campaign is composed of two key components: a $100 million target in expendable funds raised through annual and project-based fundraising, and a $150 million endowment campaign that aims to secure pledges within three years (2020-2022).

Both campaigns are well on their way and will begin in earnest in early 2020. The Board has approved the campaign, the endowment policy, recognition policy, naming assets and their valuation, and an investment management framework. A Campaign Case for Support and collateral communication materials are being finalized, clearly articulating the Museum’s mission, vision and impact.

To establish a base of support for the campaign, a Fundraising Campaign Cabinet has been established and is in the process of being recruited. The Cabinet Chair has been appointed by the Board and a further 25 members are being recruited to provide representation across Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and the Gulf, South Asia and Africa. To support the campaign, the development team is growing with new staff being hired now and into early 2020.

AACM focuses on preparing individuals for careers working with a wide variety of nonprofit arts and cultural organizations.

A record of professional or scholarly dissemination is a valuable asset; clear promise of excellence in research and/or creative practice is essential.

In addition to professional expertise in the arts and culture sector, teaching experience in a post-secondary environment, and strong interpersonal and communication skills, the successful candidate will have a commitment to innovative pedagogy, particularly in online learning.
