CURE International is a Christian non-profit organization operating a global network of eight pediatric hospitals in Africa and the Philippines. Our mission is rooted in Luke 9:2 - ‘to heal the sick and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ We seek out the most vulnerable and underserved to provide sponsored surgical care to children living with treatable disabilities. Our hospitals and programs depend on a team of dedicated, talented professionals. We need YOU to consider joining our team as we continue to grow our mission!

We are seeking candidates for an opportunity to be a Senior Major Gifts Officer which acts as a professional representative of CURE to develop proposals and reports that secure funds for the organization by thoughtfully managing a group of assigned and qualified donor relationships (caseload).
Through building intentional caring relationships and plans, the Senior Major Gifts Officer has the responsibility for assuring as many donors as possible are retained as continuing donors and are consistently invited to join CURE in additional giving and involvement. The Officer will also focus on the identification of new partners in an assigned, but non-limiting, region of the United States.
This is a remote position and is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Preference will be given to applicants located in the Western United States and in the Southeastern United States regions.

2. Create a plan to care and increase relationship with each supporter to serve as a foundational plan for each person in the caseload. Faithfully and on a timely basis, execute plans by inviting individuals to financially support CURE within your caseload as we faithfully fund live-changing surgeries for those in need.
