This is a remote position. About Project Slingshot Project Slingshot is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to ending factory farming. We do this by exposing the lies, cruelty, and power of Big Ag through disruptive campaigns that cut through the noise, capture public attention, and build unstoppable momentum for change. Our work ranges from daily social content and celebrity partnerships to documentaries, PR activations, websites, fundraising materials and OOH advertising campaigns. The Role As Development Manager you will build and run the fundraising engine that powers our campaigns. Bold, disruptive campaigning needs fuel - and you will make sure Slingshot has it, by running excellent fundraising operations, crafting compelling grant applications and building genuine relationships with the individuals who fund our work. You will lead on fundraising logistics and systems - including our donations platform - so that giving is easy, data is clean and nothing falls through the cracks. You will draft grant applications that tell our story with clarity and force, and you will deliver the communications that turn one-time supporters into long-term partners in the fight to end factory farming. You will work in close partnership with our Co-Founders, who lead major donor relationships and set our overall fundraising direction. Your job is to turn that direction into a working pipeline, a reliable system and a steady flow of income.
