Description

Normalcy. Dignity. Hope.  –  Christ’s Haven For Children is a nonprofit organization centered around these core values. We are located in Keller/North Fort Worth and provide a trauma-informed, family model of care for displaced children, teens, and young adults. As a voluntary placement organization, we are an option outside of traditional foster care, often when a caregiver has exhausted all efforts to care for a child. Whether a child is with us for six months or sixteen years, we utilize that time loving them as our own and instilling normalcy, dignity, and hope into their lives. As a faith-based organization, we envision that their time with us will help lead them toward a future of hope and healing. 

We are looking for a full-time Development Manager to join our team. This position will report to the VP of Development supporting the organization’s fundraising initiatives to raise $3,000,000 annually.
