Foundation Relations Officer - Arlington, United States - Trout Unlimited
Description
Job Type
Full-time
Description
Healthy fish rely on healthy water. We all do. Today, 1.5 million miles of trout and salmon waters in America are degraded. These are not only home waters to iconic native and wild fish, but they are also the very rivers and streams that supply the water we drink, irrigation for our lands, and endless opportunities to get outside and connect with nature. For anglers, they are prized places.
Trout Unlimited is uniquely positioned to create common ground among diverse interests. Trout Unlimited overcomes obstacles with grassroots credibility, professional skill, non-partisanship, and scientific expertise. We are a local, on-the-ground force and a national player building meaningful relationships with decision-makers, land and resource stewards, community members and other stakeholders.
Job Title: Foundation Relations Officer
Join a successful and rapidly growing team of development professionals to develop and manage a portfolio of current and new foundation donors. Working collaboratively with program staff, responsibilities include coordinating and executing the identification, strategic cultivation, solicitation, stewardship, and other activities related to seeking foundation investment in Trout Unlimited's work to protect, care for, and restore rivers so our children can experience the joy of natural and wild trout and salmon. Two positions at this level are available. These positions will report to the Director of Foundation Relations, and the location is flexible.
Scope of Role and Duties
At TU, we value a diverse representation of staff, and we actively seek candidates for this position who come from communities that have been historically under-represented in conservation and those who have been most impacted by degraded rivers and streams. We are committed to building space for all people to participate in our work to care for trout and salmon and clean our shared waters. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome you to read more about TU's equity practice and values at
HOW TO APPLY
Please provide resume, cover letter, a writing sample that represents your strategic approach to soliciting or stewarding a foundation donor, and the names and contact information for three references to Trout Unlimited via our online job application system. We will begin reviewing applications on immediately. The positions are open until filled.
