Job Description

Holland Hall is a prestigious Episcopal school established in 1922, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It serves approximately 1,000 students ranging from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a coeducational environment. Known for its commitment to academic excellence and a holistic approach to education, Holland Hall fosters a rigorous liberal arts college preparatory curriculum designed to promote critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning. The school emphasizes providing a supportive and student-centered atmosphere where individual growth is encouraged alongside a strong moral foundation and dedication to social responsibility. Holland Hall proudly welcomes students from diverse racial, cultural, and religious backgrounds, cultivating an inclusive community where every student has the opportunity to succeed and develop fully as a person.

The Development Coordinator position at Holland Hall plays a vital role within the Advancement department, which is tasked with building a culture of philanthropy, engaging constituents, and securing financial support necessary for the ongoing success of the school. This full-time role reports directly to the Director of Donor Relations and Annual Giving and is focused on the execution of the annual operating plan for annual giving campaigns and advancement communications. The position involves a blend of strategic planning, donor engagement, communications, event support, and administrative duties. A key part of the coordinator’s responsibility includes identifying and cultivating prospective donors, managing donor retention and acquisition efforts, and supporting various fundraising events including the annual Giving Day and online auction. The role also supports volunteer coordination, donor stewardship activities, data management and tracking progress towards fundraising goals within the advancement CRM system.

This position requires a dynamic, organized, and proactive individual who can manage multiple projects simultaneously while working collaboratively with colleagues across departments. The Development Coordinator will leverage creativity and best practices in fundraising communications and donor engagement tactics including direct mail, email, social media, and video messaging. The candidate will also work closely with parents, alumni, students, and other community members to deepen connections with Holland Hall’s mission and values. Strong communication skills, including excellent written and oral abilities, are essential, along with proficiency in technology tools such as Google Suite, Microsoft Office, and ideally, experience with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge or a similar CRM. The role demands flexibility to work occasional evenings and weekends to support special events and fundraisers.

Joining Holland Hall as Development Coordinator offers an opportunity to contribute to a historic and esteemed educational institution with a mission that extends well beyond academics into the realms of moral and social development. Candidates will find an environment that values collaboration, innovation, and dedication to community advancement. This position is integral in helping to sustain Holland Hall’s legacy of excellence and its continued ability to provide transformative educational experiences to its students.
