About the role

Food & Water Watch seeks an experienced Director of Foundation Relations to lead the foundations program and expand fundraising to over $5 million annually. The role is primarily remote, with occasional office visits or travel as needed, reporting to the Managing Director of Philanthropy. The candidate will supervise a Senior Manager of Foundation Relations and a Senior Grant Writer, manage a portfolio of 100+ foundations, and collaborate across teams to craft compelling proposals and reports.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
