Posted by Associated Alumni of Central High School on April 21, 2026

The Associated Alumni of Central High School of Philadelphia (AACHS) seeks an accomplished and dynamic Director of Development to lead its fundraising efforts, including annual giving and a transformational capital campaign. This role is ideal for a professional who thrives at the intersection of major gift fundraising, alumni engagement, and campaign execution.

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART:

• A legacy institution: Lead a new, hybrid role shaped by 180 years of alumni leadership and commitment.
• Deeply engaged alumni community: Work alongside a passionate alumni deeply invested in the school’s future.
• A campaign already in motion: Drive the final phase of a $60M+ transformational, private – public campaign for one of the premier public schools in the US.

The Director of Development is a newly created senior leadership role and the primary driver of AACHS’ fundraising strategy and revenue-generating activities. This role leads the major gifts program, donor pipeline, and capital campaign, working with and reporting to the Executive Director, with guidance from the AACHS Executive Committee, and support from the Board. To strengthen a culture of philanthropy and advance the AACHS vision and mission, the role will also partner closely across alumni engagement, marketing/communications, and information management initiatives to drive philanthropic revenue and campaign success.

Applications will be accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis through May 14, 2026.
