The JCC East Bay will mark a historic milestone in its 47-year history by opening its three-acre East Bay Jewish Community Campus and uniting many Jewish organizations in one central location. The Campus offers an innovative model for collaboration and engagement across intellectual, cultural, spiritual and social life, with opening celebrations scheduled for early 2027. Located in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood and anchored by expanded JCC East Bay facilities, the ~128,000 sq. ft. site will be home to a network of up to 20 Jewish nonprofit organizations and will bring together early childhood education, arts and culture, wellness, learning, and community in one vibrant location rooted in Jewish values.

The JCC East Bay is approximately halfway through its $125M Capital Campaign. The property was purchased by a real estate developer and philanthropist who began redeveloping in 2019, and is within close walking distance to the Rockridge BART station. The neighborhood is home to a broad range of small businesses, restaurants, cafes and shops, with a strong residential presence.

The Chief Development Officer will orchestrate all JCC and Campus donor solicitations and stewardship, enabling the JCC to play a central role in advancing the Jewish community in the East Bay. Reporting to and working in concert with JCC East Bay’s Chief Executive Officer, the CDO will complete the Capital Campaign and will also optimize earned revenue from ticketed events, contributed revenue from individual and foundation donors, business and other sponsorships, and in-kind contributions that are routed to Capital, Endowment and Annual fundraising.
