Every day at Pike Place Market, a senior shares a hot meal with friends, a child starts preschool steps from the produce stalls, a neighbor receives care at the health clinic or essentials from the food bank, and a farmer who has sold here for decades keeps the family land in production. The Pike Place Market Foundation (PPMF) helps make that possible, funding the services and providing connections that help the people who live, work, and create in the Market live fuller, more stable lives in the heart of the city.

The Foundation is at a pivotal moment. PPMF just closed its strongest year of impact to date, including significant grants to support Market farmers following the 2025 floods. As it defines its next chapter, a new Executive Director brings deep philanthropic connections and a strategic, data-driven mindset; the Board has capacity and appetite for growth; and the dedicated Development team is ready to build.

As Director of Development, you’ll shape PPMF’s fundraising strategy, build and lead a high-performing team, and carry your own major donor relationships, growing the sustained partnerships that keep these services strong.

If you bring fundraising experience and a strategic mind, and you want your work to make a visible difference in one of Seattle’s most vibrant, beloved communities, read on and apply for this role on Clover Search Works: Director of Development
