Fountain House is pleased to welcome Jonathan Staunch as its new Senior Director, Major Gifts.

Jonathan joins Fountain House from Covenant House International where he served as Vice President, Key Relationships. While at Covenant House International, Jonathan led the major giving team responsible for raising over $7m annually. Additionally, Jonathan played a critical role in the organization’s successful $50m “Our Great Promise” capital campaign.  Prior to Covenant House International, Jonathan worked as Director of Development at Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, and as Senior Director, Major Giving at National Multiple Sclerosis Society before that.

In his new role, Jonathan will report to the Chief Development Officer, Kevin Taylor, and be responsible for managing and growing Fountain House’s individual giving program with a focus on securing new major gifts. Building on the momentum of Fountain House’s recent fundraising successes, he will work to develop a large-scale major gifts program to attract new donors, retain existing donors, and renew lapsed donors, and will actively work to introduce new donors with major gift capacity to the important work of Fountain House. Jonathan is excited to bring his appreciation of mental health awareness and public health to Fountain House.
