POSITION SUMMARY

The Director of Partner Relations assures the development of relationships and resources that fund the mission of Adult & Teen Challenge USA.

Personal solicitation. Conduct face-to-face visits, present funding proposals, and make direct asks for major and multi-year commitments, then steward each gift through reporting and ongoing contact.

Corporate and marketplace giving. Open and grow funding relationships with corporations, Christian-owned businesses, and marketplace leaders, securing sponsorships, cause partnerships, matching gift and employee giving programs, and in‑kind support.

Church partnerships. Deepen relationships with existing church partners and cultivate new ones nationally, across denominations and non‑denominational congregations, without limitation to a defined territory.

Vision casting. Speak in churches, at conferences, and in business and civic gatherings, challenging people to join Adult & Teen Challenge's movement of putting hope within reach for every person struggling with addiction.

Long‑term investment. Share ATCUSA's vision and strategic projects in ways that move partners from one‑time giving toward sustained, multi‑year investment.

Cultivation events. Work with other department leaders to plan and host events that advance relationships, including golf events, partner dinners, center tours, and marketplace gatherings.
