Trustees and work closely with all Board members on development

New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR) has recently articulated this
vision: Through trustworthy journalism, NHPR enriches lives and
helps build stronger communities, in New Hampshire and beyond. NHPR
fosters civil discourse by producing objective, in-depth reporting,
and engaging content and by creating opportunities for diverse
people to be heard on issues of civic concern.
Originally known as Granite State Public Radio, NHPR began
broadcasting in August 1981 in the Concord-Manchester area. At that
time, the station had 500 members. Today, that membership support
has grown to nearly 24,000 people. What began as a single radio
station has grown to a statewide multimedia network with 14
broadcast transmission sites that provide New Hampshire’s only
statewide radio news service, a robust digital and social media
presence, an industry-leading podcast studio that ranks in the top
2% nationally based on downloads, and New Hampshire’s only
Spanish-language news service. Each week 146,000 listeners choose
NHPR as their primary source of in-depth and intelligent news
coverage, and hundreds of thousands access NHPR.org, follow NHPR on
social media, subscribe to NHPR newsletters sites or listen to NHPR
podcasts. NHPR is also the exclusive outlet for NPR News in New
Hampshire and broadcasts national weekly programs such as The
Moth Radio Hour, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, and This
American Life. It also provides listeners with access to
international programming from BBC World Service and the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation.
NHPR’s mission commits it to telling the stories of a changing
state. That requires the organization and its journalism to
reflect—and embrace—the increasingly diverse perspectives of people
across New Hampshire. It also requires it to model inclusion in its
sources, in the voices it lifts, in its reporting, and in the
conversations that it conducts; in the makeup of its staff, Board
of Trustees, and Community Advisory Board; and in the ways it
spends money and conducts its business. Equity and inclusion must
be guiding values in how the people of NHPR conduct themselves and
their operations.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience is required for this position as is at least seven years
of relevant development experience in a mature non-profit
environment. Familiarity with the New Hampshire philanthropic
community is a plus. All applications must be accompanied by a
cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
mission of New Hampshire Public Radio as well as the
responsibilities and qualifications stated in the
prospectus.
