Toronto Botanical Garden (TBG) is the leading destination in Toronto to experience sustainable horticulture, and to better understand our collective role as stewards of our ecosystem. With free admission and over 300,000 visitors a year, TBG welcomes everyone to learn to love plants. Beyond an inspiring plant oasis, TBG is a dynamic community hub and an engaging learning environment.
In partnership with the City of Toronto, TBG is embarking on an exciting landmark capital expansion. Today the Garden is a 4-acre botanical garden nestled in the City of Toronto’s Park System adjacent to Edwards Gardens and the Wilket Creek Ravine. As the Garden prepares to expand its managerial oversight across thirty-five acres (in a phased approach), the organization is scaling up to achieve sustained organizational performance as a relevant and inspiring living museum.
TBG connects people and plants, fostering sustainable communities and developing reciprocal relationships with nature through lifelong learning.
As TBG celebrates 70 years of impact, and as the Garden prepares for future capital and programmatic expansion, the Development team is continuing to evolve and strengthen its fundraising capacity, supporting continued growth in fundraising for the Garden’s operations and preparing the organization for future capital fundraising.
Within this dynamic context, TBG invites applications and nominations for the appointment of its next Director of Development, commencing by early summer 2026. Joining at a pivotal time, the Director will work alongside TBG’s passionate 20+ member team, dedicated to connecting the City of Toronto—and its many visitors—with the beauty and importance of nature.
How you will make an impact
This is a meaningful opportunity for a strategic, people-first leader to deepen and expand a culture of philanthropy across the organization, steward lasting donor relationships, and ensure the Garden’s long-term sustainability and growth.
Reporting to the CEO, Stephanie Jutila, and as a key member of the leadership team, the Director of Development (“Director”) plays an active and strategic role in advancing TBG’s philanthropic priorities. The Director leads and empowers a small but dedicated team and is accountable for the execution of a comprehensive fundraising and revenue strategy that includes annual giving, membership, corporate engagement and sponsorship, grants, special events, planned giving and the growth and stewardship of a major gifts pipeline.
In this role, the Director manages their own donor pipeline, while supporting the CEO to advance relationships and drive philanthropic revenue growth. The Director also provides strategic guidance and support to the Board and deepens engagement with the Development Committee, enabling them to meaningfully engage their networks and play an active and impactful role in advancing TBG’s fundraising priorities.
As an integral member of the leadership team, the Director supports and collaborates with colleagues across the Garden, including the Marketing and Audience Engagement, Horticulture, Learning, and Guest Experience teams, among others, to grow non-philanthropic revenue sources and integrate philanthropy into the broader visitor, programmatic, and community experience.

You communicate with clarity and influence, allowing you to advocate for the organization, provide meaningful support to fellow colleagues, board members and volunteers, and foster strong relationships with a diverse base of engaged donors, sponsors and partners.
You understand that growth requires both vision and systems; your comfort with donor databases (e.g. Raiser’s Edge) and operational processes will help TBG establish solid foundations for long-term success. You are visionary yet grounded, able to imagine what is possible while also building the practical steps needed to get there.
You have demonstrated commitment to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility, and are committed to TBG as a garden for all; a diverse community that recognizes the life-giving role of nature, working together for a more sustainable world.
