Description:
Deep South Today is a nonprofit network of local newsrooms that includes The Current, The Garrison Project, Mississippi Today and Verite News.
Founded in 2016, Mississippi Today is now one of the largest newsrooms in the state, and in 2023 it won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting. Verite News launched in 2022 in New Orleans, where it covers inequities facing communities of color. The Current is a nonprofit news organization founded in 2018 serving Lafayette and southern Louisiana.
With its regional scale and scope, Deep South Today is rebuilding and re-energizing local journalism in communities where it had previously eroded, and ensuring its long-term growth and sustainability.
To sustain that mission, Deep South Today is seeking an experienced Senior Director of Development and Partnerships for the newsroom it will establish in Arkansas. The Senior Director of Development and Partnerships is responsible for planning, implementing, and managing all annual fundraising initiatives to support the mission and strategic goals of Deep South Today’s newsroom in Arkansas. This role oversees major and annual giving, planned giving, grants, sponsorships, donor relations, and fundraising-related event coordination. The Director plays a key leadership role in donor cultivation and stewardship, while also managing key relationships with foundations, corporations, and individual supporters. This position reports to the VP of Development and Partnerships and works collaboratively with the President and CEO to foster a strong culture of philanthropy across the organization.
