Right now, our country faces real problems and challenges—but creating positive social change isn’t easy. It takes smarts, organization and hard work. Most of all, it takes people power.
Fund for the Public Interest is a national, non-profit organization that runs campaigns on some of our most pressing issues—such as reducing global warming pollution, or stopping the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms. We generate the people power it takes to build organizations for the long-term, win hard-fought campaigns, and make real change on some of the most important issues of our day.
The Fund is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, age, sex, handicap, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status
MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN
We all want to make a difference. But wanting change, or hoping for it, or even passionately arguing for it isn’t enough. If we want to see real progress, we need to do more.
When change does happen, the president or the governor usually gets the headline. Yet, the real action takes place behind the scenes, with hundreds or thousands or even millions of people across the country making their voices heard through petitions, emails, donations and meetings. That’s people power, and that’s what you’ll generate with the Fund.
BUILD AND LEAD A TEAM
Are you ready to be part of a team that’s leading the fight for change? As a Director, that’s what you’ll do. You’ll build a campaign office from the ground up. You’ll hire a staff of up to 40 people. You’ll recruit supporters, raise money, train activists and mobilize thousands of people to take action—for the environment, our democracy and other important causes. We’ll provide you with the training and the backup you need to manage a campaign, train your leadership team, and mobilize public support. If you are ready to build people power for great groups and make an impact on important issues, then you could be ready to be a Director with the Fund.
FIND OUT WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN
We’ve been running grassroots campaigns across the country since 1982. Over the last 30 years, we’ve worked on behalf of U.S. PIRG, Environment America, Sierra Club and other groups on a wide range of issues in all parts of the country. Our canvassers have gathered more than 20 million petition signatures, and we’ve raised more than $500 million to help these groups win their campaigns.
