Development Coordinator

About FACT:

Food Animal Concerns Trust, or FACT, has been the leading organization promoting a humane and healthy animal agriculture system since 1982. FACT believes in transforming our food system so that all food-producing animals will be raised in a humane and healthy manner, and everyone will have access to safe and humanely produced food. We envision that this humane system of raising animals for food will replace the current system that relies on factory farms where animals are raised in confinement and in very inhumane conditions.

FACT accomplishes this vision by supporting humane, pasture-based farmers, promoting policies that make foods from animals safe and healthy to eat, and helping consumers make informed food choices.

FACT is hiring a part-time Development Coordinator to support the expansion of our fundraising efforts. This role will focus on growing our individual giving program, with an emphasis on cultivating and stewarding major donors, while also supporting foundation research and grant writing efforts.

This role will work closely with the Development Manager, Communications Manager, and Executive Director to strengthen our fundraising efforts and further our impact toward a humane and healthy food system.

Our fundraising staff is expanding, and it is expected that this position will grow to full-time in 2027.
