Job Description

Senior Vice President, Development

News Literacy Project
Remote/Virtual (Northeast or West Coast preferred)

About News Literacy Project
The News Literacy Project (NLP), a nonpartisan education nonprofit, is building a national movement to advance the practice of news literacy throughout American society, creating better informed, more engaged, and more empowered individuals — and ultimately a stronger democracy. NLP is the leading provider of news literacy education to students primarily through our signature e-learning platform, Checkology® (https://get.checkology.org), and to the public through our website, RumorGuard™ (https://www.rumorguard.org).

Our vision: News literacy is an integral part of American life, and people of all ages and backgrounds know how to identify credible news and other information and understand the indispensable role a free press has in a democracy, empowering them to play a more equal and active role in the civic life of the country.

About the Opportunity
As the chief development expert and advisor, the SVP will be tasked with continuing NLP’s growth trajectory. Now a $8.5M organization, the development has grown to include two new Major Gifts Officers. As we capitalize on the growing need to combat misinformation, we are seeking a seasoned leader who is excited by an opportunity to build a team, scale our portfolio, and work with high-profile and high-net-worth individuals. This is a largely virtual role with travel required throughout the year, and candidates based in DC can work from the NLP office if they prefer.
