Annual Giving Officer
Job Title: Annual Giving Officer

Application Deadline: June 1, 2026
Heritage Park, so much more than a museum. You’ll work where history comes alive.
One moment, you’re standing beside the magnificent S.S. Moyie paddle wheeler watching as families sail back in time. Then, you’ll hear the whistle of a steam locomotive echo through the Park while children race toward the train platform with excitement. On any given day, you might find yourself surrounded by draft horses, midway laughter, prairie streets, historic shops, fresh baking, live interpretation, and families making memories together across generations. Memories that last a lifetime.
And behind every unforgettable experience is something incredibly important:
People who care enough to give and that’s where YOU come in.
