Your Impact 

At Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, partnerships power our mission—and this role sits at the heart of that effort. The Director of Corporate and Family Philanthropy (DCFP) plays a pivotal role in securing over $3 million annually in philanthropic investments that support affordable homeownership development and preservation across the region.

You will lead both the stewardship of an existing portfolio and the strategic expansion of a new base of corporate and family philanthropic partners. This includes cultivating deep, lasting relationships with a diverse array of stakeholders—corporations, family foundations, community philanthropists—and connecting them meaningfully to Habitat’s mission and measurable impact.

External partnerships are essential to our success, and you will be responsible for designing and implementing a fundraising strategy that reflects that importance—one that is innovative, inclusive, iterative, and results-driven.

Internal partnerships are equally critical. As a member of the Fund Development team, you will collaborate across departments, ensure alignment with organizational goals, and lead with accountability to drive cross-functional success.

Reporting to the Vice President of Philanthropy (VPP), you bring a growth mindset and a resourceful, forward-thinking approach to building high-impact partnerships. You’ll shape and expand this program in alignment with our FY26 – FY28 Strategic Plan and our bold $100M comprehensive campaign—already 80% funded. Contributions from corporations and family philanthropists are essential to closing this final stretch and doubling the number of families we serve by 2028.
