Director of Development - Maydm Inc.

Description

The Opportunity

Maydm is in the middle of a deliberate shift — from a grant-dependent nonprofit to one with a diversified revenue engine built on corporate partnership, earned income, and membership. We’re building a revenue model from a new foundation, launching an evolved corporate partnership program and standing up a new membership committee.

We’re creating this role to lead that work: the Director of Development is the CEO’s second-in-command on revenue, owning grants, corporate partnership, membership, and events as one connected model — not four separate efforts.

You will not inherit a development department running on autopilot. You’ll help build the engine while it’s already moving.

Maydm is a Madison, WI-based nonprofit building a talent pipeline in science, technology, engineering, and math for girls and youth in grades 6–12. Through workshops, immersive summer programs, paid internships, and a credentialed AI pathway, we connect students directly to employers and real workforce opportunities — creating access to STEM learning and career experience that too many students never get, so students can change the face of STEM.
