Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS) is seeking a new Director of Development to create and implement a strategic approach to our revenue development program. The new Director of Development joins NBS at a moment of transition as the organization seeks to strengthen its fundraising function, diversify its donor base through strategic initiatives in the community, significantly increase its level of private sector support from 10% of annual revenues, and consider the possibility of a 60th anniversary campaign. The Director will oversee and execute all annual, major gift, planned giving and event initiatives for Canada’s National Ballet School, Canada’s National Ballet School Foundation, and the Friends of Canada’s National Ballet School. Reporting to the Chief of External Affairs, the Director of Development will provide leadership and direction to the revenue development team of eight fundraising professionals. As a member of the Senior Management team, the Director will promote NBS within the community to ensure a broad base of funding resources.

ABOUT CANADA’S NATIONAL BALLET SCHOOL

Established in 1959 by Betty Oliphant and Celia Franca, Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS) is one of the world’s foremost training institutions for aspiring young dancers and teachers. Under the current leadership of Artistic Director and CEO, Mavis Staines, NBS attracts students from across the country and around the world. NBS is the only ballet academy in North America to provide elite dance training, academic instruction, and residential care on the same campus. The School’s progressive curriculum, with its emphasis on the physical and emotional well-being of the student has put NBS at the forefront of dance training internationally. Talent is the sole criterion for acceptance into NBS’ Professional Ballet Program.

NBS also offers a professional Teacher Training Program, Musician Mentorship Program, and community classes for both children and adults. The Associates Program offers classes after school and on weekends for students between the ages of 5 and 17, while the School's popular Adult Ballet Program offers classes in the evenings and on weekends to adults of all fitness levels and dance experience.

Canada’s National Ballet School is at the forefront of professional ballet schools in delivering a wide and diverse range of community programs that improve health and quality of life for people of all ages and abilities.

Through its Sharing Dance Program, NBS promotes broad public participation in dance, providing dance activities to public school children, adults and the elderly, including those living with Parkinson’s disease or dementia. The excellence of the Professional Ballet Program is reflected in all of our programs. As an international leader in ballet training, we share our knowledge and expertise to make dance accessible to as many people as possible.

As we approach our 60th anniversary in 2019 - 2020, three strategic priorities guide our actions: 

  • Achieving excellence in professional dance training and contributing to a vibrant future for the art of dance; 
  • Demonstrating dance’s relevance through community engagement; and 
  • Strengthening our funding model to support our mission and vision.

Whether training elite, Olympic-calibre ballet dancers, or promoting the benefits of dance to people of all ages and abilities in the wider community, Canada’s National Ballet School demonstrates the relevance of dance and improves quality of life. NBS has an annual operating budget of $20 million. The NBS Foundation has assets of $52 million.

ABOUT THE OFFICE OF STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Through the Office of Strategic Partnerships, NBS cultivates deep loyalty from donors and explores additional funding sources as programs expand to new areas. With generous financial support from our donors, we raised over $2.3 million in 2015 and enabled NBS to ensure that our training continues to provide the best platform for leading dance artists to prepare for a highly successful professional career and to uphold a fundamental commitment to providing public access and engagement.

Under the leadership of John Dalrymple, Chief of External Affairs and through the work of a dedicated staff team of 19, the Office of Strategic Partnerships is committed to helping individuals, corporations and government agencies find meaningful and mutually beneficial opportunities to become involved with NBS. The Office fully integrates its development function with programming staff evolving and deploying key strategic initiatives in the community.

Canada’s National Ballet School also gratefully acknowledges the support of the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage (Canada Arts Training Fund, Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, and the Canada Cultural Investment Fund); Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport (Culture Development Fund); Ontario Arts Council and the City of Toronto (Arts and Culture Division).

PROFILE OF THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

Self-assured and confident, the Director of Development will promote NBS’ mission and vision with excitement, passion and fresh energy. The new incumbent will demonstrate an “out the door” call-culture perspective by initiating donor and prospect engagement rooted in sound strategic planning.

Utilizing best practice fundraising strategies, the ideal candidate will maximize opportunities within our traditional development revenue streams and will employ a metrics based approach to ensure operational efficiencies.

The successful candidate will be an inspirational mentor, supporting their team to grow fundraising expertise, while encouraging excellence and continuous improvement. The new incumbent will convey strength and stability, along with authority. Partnering with the School’s leadership to confidently navigate forward, the ideal candidate will possess a high degree of emotional intelligence to manage up, down and across.

The Director of Development will be tolerant of ambiguity and adaptive to our unique artistic environment. Resilient and tough when needed, the successful candidate will be achievement oriented and driven to succeed.
