Sylvester Manor is now at a defining moment in its evolution, as it undertakes the restoration of the historic Manor House—the beloved home of the island’s founding family and the most significant, intact artifact of the “collection.” Following a series of major capital improvements, this next effort is the largest and most transformative in the organization’s history.
We are looking for an Individual Giving Officer who will help shape and sustain the next phase of Sylvester Manor’s history and advance all aspects of fundraising, from major gifts and annual support to capital campaigns and donor engagement strategy.
The Individual Giving Officer will serve as a strategic and hands-on fundraising professional, responsible for strengthening Sylvester Manor’s philanthropic foundation and expanding its base of individual support. Building on the organization’s ongoing development assessment and forthcoming readiness study for the Manor House project, this person will help translate insight into action—developing long-term strategies for donor cultivation, stewardship, and engagement.
