Tenacity Boston, MA Tenacity´s mission is to improve the scholastic, character, and physical development of urban youth through a combination of academic support and tennis instruction/competition with a focus on life skills. Founded in 1999, Tenacity´s programs offer a Pathway to Excellence and now serve 5500 youth annually. Across the United States, 34% of children in 5th through 8th grade are not enrolled in any type of after-school programming. Yet, researchers have repeatedly shown that children in after-school programming do better than those who are home alone, watching unmonitored television, playing violent video games, or making poor nutritional choices. Over time, these children experience increased incidences of accidents, injuries, lower social competence, lower GPAs, lower achievement test scores, and a greater likelihood of participation in delinquent or other high risk activities such as experimentation with alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and sex. Tenacity has addressed this issue by partnering with the City of Boston and other local institutions to bring literacy, life skills and tennis to those who would not otherwise have the opportunity, thereby developing skills in youth which enable them to achieve success in the classroom, on the court, and in life. Tenacity is considered among Boston city officials as one of the most impressive local youth development programs. Reporting to President & Founder, Ned Eames, Tenacity´s new Vice President of Advancement will lead and expand its fund development program. The VP will work closely with the President & Founder and the Board of Directors to strategically plan and implement a comprehensive fund development program with the goal of doubling philanthropic resources over the next five years. The VP will manage a team of three individuals and periodically outside consultants. This is a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial fundraiser with a passion for Tenacity´s mission to take Advancement operations to the next level and to serve in a highly visible role with major donors, board members and both internal and external stakeholders. The successful candidate will be a high-performance driven leader with a proven track record in both major gift fundraising and project/team management. The VP of Advancement must be a multi-tasker with a strong foundation in best practice advancement systems and operations and committed to achieving measurable results. A strong presence, persuasive voice and professional manner will complement Tenacity´s senior management team.
