FaithSearch Partners is pleased to partner with Chicago Hope Academy in their search for a Chief Advancement Officer. One can see clearly through meeting the students and staff members why this school, which opened in 2005, is appropriately named “Chicago Hope Academy.” The confidence, kindness, and diligence built into the students in this inner-city school is a testimony to the commitment of the Founders, the team members, and generous donors to provide hope in life for students who might not have it apart from this institution.
We encourage you to watch this short video for a glimpse of Chicago Hope Academy.
The Chief Advancement Officer will be responsible for leading a talented Advancement team and working alongside the other colleagues who positively impact the efforts of the Advancement team. This individual will build on current donor cultivation strategies and create new strategies for the long-term sustainability and continued excellence of the Academy.
