The CDO guides new relationship cultivation and nurtures an existing donor portfolio and stewards both new and returning government, foundation, and other funding sources, including events. The CDO also sets the strategic direction for WWCC’s fundraising and communications.
The CDO works closely with the Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer and is responsible for ensuring all annual fundraising and communications goals are met. In addition, the CDO collaborates with other members of the management team, especially in finance and programs, to ensure open dialogue and effective reporting.
