About Blue Forest
Blue Forest is a conservation finance non-profit whose mission is to accelerate the pace and scale of ecological restoration. Since 2018, Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. More recently, Blue Forest has also established Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), an investment management platform connecting investors to compelling, mission-aligned opportunities in broader asset classes beyond FRB projects, such as private equity and private credit investments.
Blue Forest is an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, foresters, finance and communications professionals. We are harnessing financial innovation and building partnerships with investors, non-profits, private companies, and the public sector to design sustainable solutions to systemic climate resilience challenges faced by vulnerable communities and ecosystems. As we grow and develop new financial solutions to pressing environmental problems, we are committed to promoting social equity and amplifying historically excluded voices in the burgeoning field of conservation finance.
Position Summary
Project Analysts and Associates at Blue Forest focus on the development of conservation finance projects while coordinating and contributing to other aspects of Blue Forest workstreams, including research and science efforts, communications, education and capacity building, and building and maintaining partnerships. This typically includes working on two to three projects simultaneously and, over time, developing a specialization (e.g., geographic, issue area, modeling, communications) that advances project development across the organization.
For this posting, we are looking to hire 2-3 Analyst and/or Associate roles:

Position responsibilities include supporting execution and day-to-day operations for individual projects, fostering and managing relationships with project partners, facilitating the advancement of working relationships between Blue Forest and beneficiary organizations, and partnering with Managers and Directors to connect day-to-day operations with a long-term strategy.
The project development aspect of the role involves being detail-oriented during day-to-day operations and execution while supporting Managers and Directors with strategy. Analysts and Associates play a key role in project development by developing written materials, working with Managers and Directors to give presentations, and developing relationships with partners. In addition, Analysts and Associates spend their time supporting or servicing as lead coordinator for special projects within other departments at Blue Forest.

Support direct reports in managing and developing a portfolio of about 120 current, lapsed and prospective donors, deepening relationships in person, over the phone, and in writing. Support each Director in sharpening their ability to talk about core racial justice and equity work, educate donors and other stakeholders on why this work is central to our mission, and challenge and persuade those who disagree.
Support and partner with organizational leaders to identify, cultivate, solicit and steward Principal donors.
Expand the portfolio of prospective donors to include more women, people of color and young people; broaden our current methods of identifying, cultivating and soliciting donors of color and build the skills and competencies of our team to meet this objective.
Work with staff to educate our current and prospective donors about the racial justice and equity work in which we are engaged, including drafting talking points and practicing for visits.

Major Gifts Director
About Austin Pets Alive! (APA!): APA! is one of Austin’s most dynamic and best-loved nonprofits. The organization rescues, treats, and adopts out some 10,000 dogs and cats at-risk in other shelters each year, providing the safety net for Austin’s most vulnerable shelter pets while also assisting other communities in saving homeless animals. While the organization is still distinguished by the scrappiness of its grassroots, community-based animal rescue work, APA! has a national reputation for excellence in lifesaving programs and is recognized as a thought leader in animal welfare. General Description: Seeking a skilled people-person with a passion for animal welfare to build engagement around APA!’s lifesaving cause and draw support from our highest-level individual donors. While always keeping in mind that meeting fundraising goals is imperative for APA!’s lifesaving mission, the focus for APA!’s Philanthropy team is on creating great, inspiring relationships with supporters. The Major Gifts Director will work under the supervision of the Deputy Chief of Philanthropy within a highly collaborative team of 11 staff members, each owning a specialized role. This is a leadership role, lending the opportunity to oversee an already growing major gifts program and take it to the next level. It additionally offers the opportunity to participate in managing a capital campaign as APA! heads into the challenge of raising funds to establish new facilities. The Director will be responsible for a portfolio of VIP donors and for meeting ambitious and growing funding goals for major gifts. The Director will also lead the overall program for high-level individual donors, by (1) managing donor prospecting, (2) maintaining a donor pipeline, and (3) helping to create a comprehensive stewardship plan for all APA! supporters, collaborating on this with the Deputy Chief of Philanthropy. Last, (4) the Major Gifts Director will oversee team members primarily responsible for the stewardship and cultivation of major and mid-level individual donors. In order to be an effective mentor to these staff members, the Director must have prior experience in philanthropy. This position requires a self-starter, comfortable with being out in front in improving major gifts fundraising at APA!, motivated to seek out solutions to obstacles in the drive towards meeting funding goals for an organization that has become a national player in its field. The Major Gifts Director must be an effective communicator with the ability to speak to different audiences, and must be firmly committed to our lifesaving cause. This is a full-time position. The Director will work primarily from home, with some time spent at Austin Pets Alive!’s Town Lake Animal Center facility. The role requires living in the Austin area. APA! values the effect that diversity of thought, experience, and identity has on our organization. Key Responsibilities: Portfolio Work
Actively manage a substantial portfolio of VIP donors and prospective donors

Major Gifts Director
About Austin Pets Alive! (APA!): APA! is one of Austin’s most dynamic and best-loved nonprofits. The organization rescues, treats, and adopts out some 10,000 dogs and cats at-risk in other shelters each year, providing the safety net for Austin’s most vulnerable shelter pets while also assisting other communities in saving homeless animals. While the organization is still distinguished by the scrappiness of its grassroots, community-based animal rescue work, APA! has a national reputation for excellence in lifesaving programs and is recognized as a thought leader in animal welfare. General Description: Seeking a skilled people-person with a passion for animal welfare to build engagement around APA!’s lifesaving cause and draw support from our highest-level individual donors. While always keeping in mind that meeting fundraising goals is imperative for APA!’s lifesaving mission, the focus for APA!’s Philanthropy team is on creating great, inspiring relationships with supporters. The Major Gifts Director will work under the supervision of the Deputy Chief of Philanthropy within a highly collaborative team of 11 staff members, each owning a specialized role. This is a leadership role, lending the opportunity to oversee an already growing major gifts program and take it to the next level. It additionally offers the opportunity to participate in managing a capital campaign as APA! heads into the challenge of raising funds to establish new facilities. The Director will be responsible for a portfolio of VIP donors and for meeting ambitious and growing funding goals for major gifts. The Director will also lead the overall program for high-level individual donors, by (1) managing donor prospecting, (2) maintaining a donor pipeline, and (3) helping to create a comprehensive stewardship plan for all APA! supporters, collaborating on this with the Deputy Chief of Philanthropy. Last, (4) the Major Gifts Director will oversee team members primarily responsible for the stewardship and cultivation of major and mid-level individual donors. In order to be an effective mentor to these staff members, the Director must have prior experience in philanthropy. This position requires a self-starter, comfortable with being out in front in improving major gifts fundraising at APA!, motivated to seek out solutions to obstacles in the drive towards meeting funding goals for an organization that has become a national player in its field. The Major Gifts Director must be an effective communicator with the ability to speak to different audiences, and must be firmly committed to our lifesaving cause. This is a full-time position.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Global Campaigns Coordinator, accountable for winning global cage-free commitments through corporate campaigns.
As the Global Campaigns Coordinator, your position plays an integral role in the execution of the tactics and strategies that make up the Open Wing Alliance’s global campaigns. As a campaigner, you will have a deep comprehension of our targets, our primary campaign strategies, and the tools we will use to win. You execute tactics across a variety of media, including email, social media, advertisements, and other digital spaces. The ideal candidate will e njoy regularly doing in-depth research that others may find tedious and that occasionally yields incredible finds; b e able to persevere for months through long campaigns without much indication that we’re having an impact (that is, until we win!); and b e comfortable upsetting and receiving angry responses from executives at the target company. You have solid organization and communication skills to mobilize OWA’s member organizations. You are tenacious and motivated to find the key pressure points that will bring us closer to a victory for animals. This position reports directly to the Head of Global Corporate Engagement.
This is a full-time, remote position. This position requires domestic and international travel for OWA summits and staff retreats; this is equivalent to approximately 2-4 week-long trips per year. We are only able to consider applicants who reside in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
We will be recording a webinar hosted by Ellie Donohue-Miller, Head of Global Corporate Engagement, and Jennie Hunter, Senior Global Campaigns Coordinator. You can submit any questions you would like answered regarding the role and The Humane League via this form . Please submit any questions by May 31. The webinar will be available to watch here on June 2.
This application will close on Monday, June 13, 2022 at 1:00pm ET.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct research and analysis to help inform what strategies and tactics we use throughout the campaign, what our campaign communications should look like (i.e. slogan, ad language), and the project plan that we follow during the campaign.
Gather and monitor contact information, data, and key details about companies and their executives, including corporate structure, history, leadership and non-leadership, media, affiliations, and any potential branch of the company that can be used in a campaign.
Prepare and execute campaign tactics within the overarching strategy, including (but not limited to) email and social media campaigns, phone-calls with corporate employees, petitions, and placing advertisements.
Work with and support relevant teams to write or otherwise devise campaigning materials including website content, video plans, petitions, advertisements, social media actions, and literature language.

Collaborate closely with other teams at The Humane League and within OWA to develop and execute various plans for the campaigns, align on goals, and debrief on the progress of our campaigns.

Coordinate and motivate OWA members across 80 organizations to take action. Lead with “why” to inspire others to get involved. Maintain morale during long and challenging campaigns.
Other duties as assigned.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Have approximately one year of experience in paid or unpaid work related to grassroots campaigning, campus organizing, or activism with an animal protection organization or another social movement.
Relentless - It is important to campaign fast, hard, and where it matters. The pressure must remain consistent and build momentum, preventing the company from ever getting ahead. You demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills for tackling barriers and persevering through challenging campaigns.
Organized - With all of the research, data, action alerts, and communications, it is crucial to remain organized and on top of all that is going on in the campaign. You can easily manage moving pieces from multiple projects on a daily basis.
Efficient - Take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less. You are self-motivated to set your own schedule and to-do lists, and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner. You are able to identify the high priority and high impact work. You have solid capabilities in the digital space, able to navigate the internet to research hard-to-find information, use various email and social media tools, and troubleshoot tech problems.
Innovative - Barriers will come up, and companies will get used to the tactics over time. Being innovative throughout the campaign will create an unpredictable and unmanageable environment for the target company. You possess creative and analytical thinking skills for developing campaign strategies and tactics.
Strategic - The right approaches will come as a result of understanding the target company and the current landscape. When each decision is a strategic one, the impact of all decisions can increase.
Collaborative - You are a team player, dedicated to The Humane League and Open Wing Alliance’s mission. You can motivate others to take action. You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

WHO WE ARE
The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food. THL fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and mission-driven problem solving, and we have earned recognition as Top Charity from Animal Charity Evaluators for all of their rating periods. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to a staff of 90+ talented individuals dispersed across the country and around the world.
The Open Wing Alliance (OWA) is a global coalition of organizations united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. OWA was initiated by The Humane League and has since grown into a global force, with 80 member organizations in 63 countries. In addition to launching coordinated global campaigns as a coalition, we share campaign strategies, tactics, and resources around the world to accomplish our shared goal.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Global Campaigns Coordinator, accountable for winning global cage-free commitments through corporate campaigns.
The ideal candidate will:
Enjoy regularly doing in-depth research that others may find tedious and that occasionally yields incredible finds;
Be able to persevere for months through long campaigns without much indication that we’re having an impact (that is, until we win!); and
Be comfortable upsetting and receiving angry responses from executives at the target company.
Qualities of a Campaigner:
Relentless - It is important to campaign fast, hard, and where it matters. The pressure must remain consistent and build momentum, preventing the company from ever getting ahead.
Organized - With all of the research, data, action alerts, and communications, it is crucial to remain organized and on top of all that is going on in the campaign.
Efficient - Take advantage of the tools and resources available and work to accomplish more with less.
Innovative - Barriers will come up, and companies will get used to the tactics over time. Being innovative throughout the campaign will create an unpredictable and unmanageable environment for the target company.
Strategic - The right approaches will come as a result of understanding the target company and the current landscape. When each decision is a strategic one, the impact of all decisions can increase .
Collaborative - Global campaigns necessitate working closely with other departments and mobilizing 80 OWA member organizations.
As the Global Campaigns Coordinator, your position plays an integral role in the execution of the tactics and strategies that make up the Open Wing Alliance’s global campaigns. As a campaigner, you will have a deep comprehension of our targets, our primary campaign strategies, and the tools we will use to win. You execute tactics across a variety of media, including email, social media, advertisements, and other digital spaces. You have solid organization and communication skills to mobilize OWA’s member organizations. You are tenacious and motivated to find the key pressure points that will bring us closer to a victory for animals. This position reports directly to the Global Corporate Engagement Senior Manager.
This is a full-time, remote position. This position requires domestic and international travel for OWA summits and staff retreats; this is equivalent to approximately 2-4 week-long trips per year. We are only able to consider applicants who reside in the United States and possess United States work authorization.
This application will close on Friday, April 15, 2022 at 4:30pm.
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
Conduct research and analysis to help inform what strategies and tactics we use throughout the campaign, what our campaign communications should look like (i.e. slogan, ad language), and the project plan that we follow during the campaign.
Gather and monitor contact information, data, and key details about companies and their executives, including corporate structure, history, leadership and non-leadership, media, affiliations, and any potential branch of the company that can be used in a campaign.
Prepare and execute campaign tactics within the overarching strategy, including (but not limited to) email and social media campaigns, phone-calls with corporate employees, petitions, and placing advertisements.
Work with and support relevant teams to write or otherwise devise campaigning materials including website content, video plans, petitions, advertisements, social media actions, and literature language.
Help plan and maintain the strategic direction and schedule of campaign tactics to deploy.
Collaborate closely with other teams at The Humane League and within OWA to develop and execute various plans for the campaigns, align on goals, and debrief on the progress of our campaigns.
Quickly adapt to changing campaign landscape in order to capitalize on any information you might learn about the target during the campaign.
Coordinate and motivate OWA members across 80 organizations to take action. Lead with “why” to inspire others to get involved. Maintain morale during long and challenging campaigns.
Other duties as assigned.

You are self-motivated to set your own schedule and to-do lists, and carry them out in a timely, efficient manner. You are able to identify the high priority and high impact work. You have solid capabilities in the digital space, able to navigate the internet to research hard-to-find information, use various email and social media tools, and troubleshoot tech problems.

This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are unmatched in our ability to ensure meaningful action on our key issues. We aim to bring people and communities together across racial, geographic, political, religious, economic and other differences toward collective goals instead of dividing us from one another.
