The Director of Philanthropy is responsible for all philanthropic programs which support the people and mission of the Boundless family of companies. Boundless is Ohio’s largest not-for-profit provider of services for individuals with special needs providing services for children, youth and adults where they live, work and play.

Reporting to and working in close collaboration with the Vice President (VP), Advancement, the Director of Philanthropy will design and execute a comprehensive development strategy for the Boundless family of companies.

Boundless is on an unprecedented growth trajectory, serving approximately 2,000 people in the Central Ohio region in 2016 to serving more than 4,000 people throughout the state of Ohio in 2020.
