Director of Development
Overview:
The Binaytara Foundation (BTF) seeks a creative, entrepreneurial, and collaborative leader to serve as our Director of Development. We are looking for someone who shares our vision for improving access to cancer care in underserved communities. Our current focus is on Nepal where the BTF is working to bring much-needed cancer care to over 20 million people who currently travel 8-hour by bus for cancer care. The primary functions of this role are developing fundraising programs, creating new models for revenue generation, and building long term relationships with donors, sponsors, and partners.
In December 2018, BTF established a 25-bed cancer hospital in Nepal, in an area where cancer patients were forced to travel a minimum of eight hours by bus to obtain treatment. Our current focus is to expand this hospital into a 200-bed state-of-the-art center of excellence for oncology clinical care and research. When fully operational, this hospital will serve patients living in an area of over 20 million people from Nepal and the neighboring Indian state of Bihar.
As the BTF Director of Development, you will directly contribute to this mission, helping to save thousands of lives, now and for generations to come!
