The ideal candidate is a skilled writer with a knack for relationship-building, a passion for the natural world, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines with grace.

This is an opportunity to join a strong, mission-driven team with a 40-year track record of delivering results for the land alongside the people of the Colorado Plateau.

Steward all foundation relationships through regular communication and meaningful opportunities for engagement, including multiday field trips.
Research, cultivate, and secure new foundation partners, with a goal of increasing foundation support by 10% annually.
Manage a heavy volume of writing assignments on a variety of topics and with tight, externally driven deadlines.
Maintain accurate and detailed information in Salesforce related to each foundation partner, including proposals, reports, and all associated communications.
Desired qualifications
4+ years of experience with grant writing and foundation fundraising work.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrated success developing and producing proposals, reports, grant budgets, and other development materials.
Adeptness in cultivating and nurturing relationships with foundation partners that lead to increased engagement and long-term support.
Knowledge of best practices in foundation fundraising, with an understanding of emerging trends and opportunities in the field.
Background in conservation, with a preference for experience grounded on the Colorado Plateau. Familiarity with environmental justice advocacy is a plus.
Sensitivity and proficiency working in multicultural spaces — both in the workplace and in community.
Proficiency with relevant technology and applications, including Salesforce (or similar customer relationship management software), Google Workspace, Microsoft Office Suite, and Zoom.
Note that experience includes lived experience, traditional knowledge, volunteer experience, school or coursework, work experience, and other related qualifications, skills, and experience.
