[MCN] Friends of the Clearwater is hiring Membership and Development Director

[Jeff Juel]

    *Membership and Development Director*


*Friends of the Clearwater seeks* a part-time Membership and Development 
Director at 20-hours per week. The first
preference would be located in Moscow Idaho. However, given the 
pandemic, there is the possibility the job could
be located elsewhere. There is the potential for this position to become 
full-time depending upon the availability of
funding. Friends of the Clearwater is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho.

*About Friends of the Clearwater. *Friends of the Clearwater, a 
recognized non-profit organization since 1987,
defends the Idaho Clearwater Bioregion’s wildlands and biodiversity 
through a Forest Watch program, litigation,
grassroots public involvement, outreach, and education. The Wild 
Clearwater Country, the Clearwater Basin, is the
northern half of central Idaho’s “Big Wild.” The Big Wild also contains 
many unprotected roadless areas and wild
rivers, and provides crucial habitat for numerous rare plant and animal 
species. Friends of the Clearwater strives to
protect these areas, restore degraded habitats, preserve viable 
populations of native species, recognize national and
international wildlife corridors, and bring an end to industrialization 
on public lands. While based in Idaho, the
Clearwater Basin’s headwaters are close to southwestern Montana, and 
this region is popular among Montanans.

*Job Responsibilities. *This person will research, identify, and 
approach potential donors, ranging from foundations
to individuals, as well as organize occasional fundraising/outreach 
events in Moscow or the greater region. Daily
tasks will include the following:
• Research potential foundations for funding solicitation
• Recruit new members from the greater Moscow or Missoula areas
• Develop and write grant proposals
• Spearhead or help organize and execute fundraising/outreach events, 
time permitting

*Work Conditions.* This position has primarily flexible hours with 
occasional night and weekends as nonprofit
fundraising campaigns and events sporadically require.
Qualifications.
• Demonstrated experience with foundation research and grant writing
• Excellent speaking, writing, and interpersonal skills
• Demonstrated experience in organizing fundraising events
• Ability to speak on behalf of the organization when required
• Ability to wield social media and familiarity with common computer 
programs, such as Word or Excel
• Experience executing fundraising campaigns a plus
• Love of the Clearwater or our natural world
• A healthy sense of outrage balanced by a good sense of 
humor—indispensable in this day and age
*
**Compensation. *We offer a starting salary at a level equal to all 
other staff members, plus a generous leave policy
and supportive coworkers. Friends of the Clearwater supports diversity, 
equality, inclusion, and is an equal
opportunity employer. No aspect of employment with Friends of the 
Clearwater is influenced in any manner by race,
color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, national origin, 
disability, marital or parental status, or any other bases
prohibited by law.

*How to apply.* E-mail a cover letter, resume, a three-page writing 
sample, and three references to Gary
Macfarlane, Ecosystem Defense Director, gary at friendsoftheclearwater.org. 
We will start reviewing applications
ASAP with a hope to hire by the end of 2020. The position is open until 
filled.
