About the Nonhuman Rights Project

The Nonhuman Rights Project is the only civil rights organization in the United States dedicated solely to securing rights for nonhuman animals. Our groundbreaking work challenges an archaic, unjust legal status quo that views and treats all nonhuman animals as “things” with no rights.

We work to achieve our message in three ways: (1) Litigation (changing the legal status quo and catalyzing a global conversation about how nonhuman animals are viewed and treated under the law); (2) Legislation and Advocacy (building grassroots support at the local, national, and global levels and working to pass the first nonhuman rights laws in the US); and (3) Education (raising awareness of the need and basis for nonhuman rights and providing resources to empower others to join the fight).

Position Description

The Development Manager is responsible for engaging with mid-tier donors and foundations giving $1,000-9,999 annually to the NhRP and bringing new supporters into that gift category through prospecting and communications. The role will conduct research, build relationships with donors, and work across the team to engage donors in the programmatic work of NhRP. The ideal candidate will bring an enthusiasm for connecting with donors regarding our mission to seek legal rights for nonhuman animals. We are seeking a team player with strong organization and communications skills in this multifaceted role.

This is a full time, remote, US-based position that reports to the Senior Advisor for Development. 

Compensation and Benefits

The salary for this position is $60,000 -$70,000, commensurate with the candidate’s skill and experience. The NhRP offers health insurance reimbursement, flexible paid time off, parental leave, 403b retirement plan with employer match, professional development stipends, and home office equipment subsidies.

How to Apply

Interested applicants should submit a resume and a cover letter describing why you are a good candidate for this position to jobs@nonhumanrights.org with Development Manager in the subject line. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until a candidate is hired, however candidates applying by July 31 will be prioritized.

Hi all! We’re happy to share that Super Festval, a supermarket brand part of Grupo Beal (former “Companhia Beal de Alimentos’), has officially published a commitment to exclusively source pork from group housing systems during gestation in Brazil by 2028, considering preferably preimplantation systems where sows are housed in stalls for no longer than 7 days. You can read the announcement in Portuguese on the company website here. Super Festval is a traditional family business with a local well-known brand and 39 stores in the state of Paraná, south of Brazil. The organizations Alianima, Fórum Animal, Humane World for Animals and Sinergia Animal engaged in corporate relationship with the company for 5 years of negotiations, combining strategies of friendly negotiation, technical support and public campaign warning to accelerate the commitment. The negotiations were positively influenced by the fact that Super Festval has a cage-free commitment fulfilled in 2024 (see their report to the Egglab audit). This is a successful case to strengthen animal welfare policies negotiations with retailers in Brazil. At the moment, it's important to increase the number of animal welfare policies implemented in Brazilian retail in order to promote progress in this sector that is traditionally less receptive to animal welfare policies. We will continue monitoring the implementation of Super Festval commitment, encouraging the company to report their evolution annually, asking to participate in Alianima’s Pig Watch report and extending its animal welfare policies to additional species, for example nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). For the animals,

Today marks a historic win for animal advocacy in Brazil, thanks to the combined efforts of Humane World for Animals, Te Protejo, , Fórum Animal and Change.org .  On July 9, 2025, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved the Senate substitute for PL 6602/13 (now PL 3062/22), banning federal animal testing for cosmetics, personal hygiene products, and perfumes. Why this is huge: •⁠  ⁠1.6 million+ signatures delivered a powerful public mandate. •⁠  ⁠A decade in the making—originally filed in 2013, it finally broke its long legislative stalemate. •⁠  ⁠Brazil moves closer to becoming the world’s 45th country to outlaw cosmetic animal testing, sparing millions of animals from suffering. Besides us, the project had the support of many activists and other organizations and institutions such as the Department of Animal Protection that was created within the Ministry of the Environment in Brazil. Next steps: The bill goes to presidential signature. After enactment and a 60-day vacatio legis, ANVISA and other agencies will have up to two years to implement alternative testing methods and enforce the law. This breakthrough proves what we can achieve when we unite. Let’s keep up the momentum—share this news, raise your voice, and push for a cruelty-free future!

Iceland Foods committed to eliminating eyestalk ablation and implementing pre-slaughter electric stunning across their own-label prawn range by the end of 2027. ICAW has been running a campaign against Iceland for several months inclusive of digital actions, in-person demonstrations (including 70 people gathering in London in May) and other pressure tactics. Only 3 retailers have yet to commit to higher prawn welfare in the UK: Aldi, LIDL and ASDA. Thank you to everyone involved for supporting our campaign!
