Amplify is a mission-driven girls’ music & arts organization and sleepaway camp in Ojai, CA. We empower girls through creativity, mentorship, performance, and belonging.

We are seeking a Fractional Major Gifts & Partnerships Officer who is excited to build a revenue engine from the ground up. This role is ideal for a self-starter who loves designing systems, creating clarity, nurturing relationships, and converting aligned partners and donors into long-term supporters.

  • Build a qualified pipeline of prospective donors and partners

  • Own monthly KPIs (lead generation, qualification, meetings, proposals, conversions)

  • Create stewardship systems(touchpoints, reporting, acknowledgment, cultivation)

  • Manage relationship journeys from first contact → long-term supporter

  • Coordinate with the Executive Director on messaging, proposals, and pitches

  • Track ROI and optimize efforts to focus on highest-impact opportunities

  • Identify mission-aligned corporate, foundation, and individual prospects

  • Design a partnership menu(sponsorship tiers, program partnerships, named opportunities, etc.)


You Might Be a Great Fit If You…

  • Have experience building major gifts or partnership pipelines from the ground up

  • Are metrics-driven and love clear KPIs + dashboards

  • Are comfortable generating and qualifying your own leads

  • Are an exceptional communicator and relationship builder

  • Can create structure and follow-through in a small, fast-moving organization

  • Love the idea of helping a girl-centered arts nonprofit scale its impact


What Success Looks Like

  • A growing, active pipeline of qualified leads each month

  • Consistent donor and partnership meetings

  • Clear stewardship and retention processes in place

  • New multi-year donors and partnerships secured

  • A sustainable revenue stream that strengthens Amplify’s mission and future
