The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with The Fuller
Project in the search for its Chief Development Officer.
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Development
Officer will oversee The Fuller Project's expanding fundraising
program including building the individual giving program and
growing institutional giving. In partnership with the Chief
Executive Officer, the Chief Development Officer will nurture a
culture of philanthropy that supports the organizational and
newsroom priorities while leveraging the talent of staff and board.
The Chief Development Officer will apply a diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging lens to all internal and external
activities while expanding the organization's community of
supporters. The Fuller Project centrally values diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging and prioritizes DEI in all team-building
and work. These same values are also central in The Fuller
Project’s journalism. The Fuller Project is an equal
opportunity employer and values diversity of all forms in its
newsroom. The Fuller Project welcomes candidates of all gender
identities to apply. The successful candidate will have the option
to work remotely from anywhere in the United States; preference
will be given to candidates located in Washington D.C.
The Fuller Project is the global nonprofit newsroom dedicated to
groundbreaking journalism about women to raise awareness, expose
injustice, and spur accountability. Its vision is journalism that
fully represents all women, giving readers The Full Story,
and spurring gender equality. The Fuller Project was founded on the
belief that news coverage must represent the views of all
individuals. When it does, journalism can fulfill its promise of
helping to create a fully informed citizenry. Journalism has the
power to inform, to expose abuses of power and human rights, and to
inspire urgent action. Yet when the voices, stories, and
perspectives of women are disproportionately left out, the result
is reporting that reinforces bias.
Today, women are still underrepresented in news, especially those
facing race and identity bias. This has been true for centuries and
progress has been slow. As a result, the barriers and harms that
women face are often considered tangential – instead of central to
the security, economic, legal, environmental, and other issues
societies face each day. Through investigative and enterprise
reporting about women, and by fostering a committed community of
editors, The Fuller Project disrupts bias and redefines traditional
news. With deeply sourced newsgathering and vivid storytelling, The
Fuller Project works to provide a more nuanced understanding of
global, U.S., and local news by incorporating diverse perspectives.
It centers its investigative and enterprise journalism on women’s
lived experiences, especially those whose stories are most often
unheard in mainstream news, to reveal patterns of discrimination
and illuminate solutions.
The Fuller Project brings journalism about women to millions of
readers in the United States and around the world through legacy
and local media partnerships. These editorial partnerships foster a
community of journalists dedicated to inclusive coverage, drawing
on expertise about the interconnected issues that affect women,
gender-diverse people, and whole societies. The reporting aims to
give readers a new understanding and better equip them to challenge
harmful conventions that have historically limited rights. Since
2015, the reporting has helped end life-threatening practices, led
to large-scale releases of public data, and influenced the
introduction of new legislation. This rigorous journalism connects
the stories of women everywhere, fostering shared urgency, agency,
and action.
A bachelor’s degree is required for this position as is at least
seven years of professional experience in nonprofit organizations
with demonstrated success in a development function (managing and
forging relationships with multiple donor sources) preferably on a
national level. All applications must be accompanied by a cover
letter and résumé. Cover letters should reflect a commitment to a
fully representative press that spurs gender equity, consistent
with the mission of The Fuller Project.
