CROW hires Development Director
The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) has hired Jennifer Roberts as development director. In this role, Roberts will be responsible for budgeting, coordinating and analyzing fundraising efforts, including individual and corporate donations and endowments. She will also be responsible for preparing annual marketing plans, budgets and proposals for grants and major fundraising events.
Roberts will also oversee the new Healing Winds Visitor Education Center gift shop, and manage CROW’s annual calendar of events.
“We are extremely excited to welcome Jennifer to the CROW family,” said Dr. Paul Douglass, CROW board chairman. “With her background and expertise, I am confident Jennifer will help support CROW’s mission and help us reach our short- and long-term business goals.”
Roberts has a bachelor’s degree in public relations from the University of Florida and most recently served as director of major gifts for Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota.
Located on Sanibel Island, Fla., the Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) was established in 1968 and is one of the nation’s leading wildlife rehabilitation hospitals for native and migratory wildlife. CROW, a nonprofit wildlife hospital, provides medical care for more than 4,000 injured, sick and orphaned wildlife patients every year, with the goal of returning them to their natural habitat. In 2009, CROW opened its new Healing Winds Visitor Education Center, an interactive facility that allows guests to learn first-hand about the organization’s mission. CROW is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that relies exclusively on philanthropic support from individuals, corporations and foundations and we hope you will consider supporting CROW through membership, volunteer efforts, wish list and other gifts.
