About New Era Colorado Foundation & New Era Colorado Action 

New Era Colorado is an innovative nonprofit organization that works to reinvent politics for young people, mobilizing and empowering a new generation to participate in our democracy to make Colorado a better place for everyone. We have three core program areas: civic engagement, advocacy, and leadership development. We register and turn out thousands of young voters every year, work on issues like election access, economic justice, abortion rights and climate change at the state and local level, and train hundreds of young leaders to create change. Since our founding, we've registered more than 150,000 young voters, passed policies like online voter registration, and given out probably more than 60,000+ buttons that say "Vote, F*cker" on them (good, right?). And along the way, we got more than a million views on our Campaign for Local Power video, another million on our This Is Why We Vote video (which was featured on Upworthy), we got named "Campaign of the Year" by New Organizing Institute in 2013, and our volunteers and interns taught us how to make Where's Waldo costumes on the cheap for voter registration.

What we're looking for:

New Era Colorado Foundation and New Era Colorado Action Fund are seeking a full-time Development Director to lead and grow our annual fundraising and donor base. The Development Director will develop and implement our annual fundraising plan, manage foundation funding and donor relationships, and oversee the development department's operations, including managing New Era's Development Manager. This position is a member of New Era's senior leadership team. We are looking for a stronger writer and strategic thinker who is passionate about social justice and young people's ability to create change.

New Era's revenue development relies on a strong combination of grant-writing and foundation support, individual donors, a robust monthly membership program, business revenue, and small-dollar donations—raised through numerous events throughout the year, as well as a few mailers and online fundraising campaigns. Our ideal candidate is excited to dig in to raise the resources we need to keep fighting and growing our impact, and has some previous fundraising experience. This position requires a determination to hit goals, resourcefulness, and strong management of multiple projects with significant attention to detail.

To apply:

Please submit a resume and cover letter (as a single PDF) to the attention of Lizzy Stephan to developmentjob@NewEraColorado.org. In your cover letter, please describe why you want to do this job in particular at New Era, and how you found out about the position. This position will be open until filled and if the description is still up it is still open. No phone calls please.
