This role is ideal for a development professional who is a frontline fundraiser and skilled at engaging new and existing donors, building trust with families and community partners, and stewarding relationships. Based in Libertyville, Illinois, Lambs Farm is a vibrant, mission‑driven community dedicated to helping people with developmental disabilities lead productive, happy, and meaningful lives. Founded in 1961, Lambs Farm began as a small pet shop on Chicago’s State Street that hired individuals with developmental disabilities to care for the animals and run the business. The success of that shop and the overwhelming interest from prospective employees led to the creation of our 72‑acre campus in Libertyville, Illinois, where Lambs Farm continues to grow today. Lambs Farm supports participants’ personal growth through comprehensive residential and employment services.  The Opportunity **Success in this role requires a balance of high-level planning and hands-on execution.
