The Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance is excited to offer a full-time Development Director position.
The Development Director is VVMTA’s lead fundraiser, responsible for growing philanthropic revenue through relationship-based fundraising. This role builds and manages a portfolio of donors and potential donors, develops and executes an annual fundraising plan, leads donor-centered fundraising events, including the annual Trails Forever fundraiser, and expands membership and corporate support.
The Development Director reports to the Executive Director and works in partnership with the Board of Directors and staff to achieve goals. While this position does not lead communications, marketing, community events, or grants, it provides development focused support to these efforts, helping translate outreach and impact storytelling into fundraising opportunities, deeper donor relationships, and progress toward VVMTA financial goals.
The Development Director’s fundraising efforts directly enable VVMTA to serve our community through our mission, providing the philanthropic resources needed to advance our programs, trails, and stewardship projects. By growing and sustaining support from donors, members, and partners, this role strengthens VVMTA’s long term financial sustainability and capacity to deliver lasting impact across Eagle County.
