Northeast Wilderness Trust’s (NEWT) mission is to conserve forever-wild landscapes for Nature and people. We safeguard over 82,000 wild acres across New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. NEWT is the only regional land trust focused exclusively on rewilding through forever-wild conservation. We believe in the immense value of wilderness, both for its intrinsic value and for its unique role to reverse the biodiversity crisis, mitigate climate change, and provide solace to the human spirit. Duties of the Development Director: The Development Director is responsible for managing the development program activities and staff at a time of great growth at the organization. NEWT is currently nearing the end of the quiet phase of a successful $18M Campaign for a Wild Future, which will significantly expand NEWT’s ability to protect land, rewild land, and champion wilderness. The Development Director, a new position aimed at fueling NEWT’s organizational growth, will be a pivotal member of the Advancement Team (includes Communications and Development Teams) and will work closely with the VP of Advancement to build NEWT’s fundraising capacity and resource our 2030 vision. You will be responsible for leading fundraising for our three major needs: funding operations, conserving land, and endowing our perpetual obligation to steward the lands in our care. You will mentor and inspire a philanthropy team of three that integrates fundraising into a year-long organization-wide calendar of fundraising appeals and events, all building upon our strong culture of philanthropy.
