Are you looking to drive change in animal welfare and food systems? Join us as our new US Senior Foundations Manager! 

We’re seeking a strategic and motivated individual to join our Global Fundraising Team. In this key role, you’ll lead foundation fundraising efforts in the US, cultivating and managing relationships with major foundations and building lasting philanthropic partnerships. 

About Us:  

Compassion in World Farming was founded in 1967 by a British farmer horrified by the development of intensive factory farming. Compassion has since become one of the leading farmed animal welfare advocates. In 2012, we established Compassion in World Farming, Inc. to focus on making positive change for farmed animals in the US, the epicentre of modern industrial agriculture.  

Our global approach involves campaigning, advocacy and engagement with policymakers at national, intergovernmental, and corporate levels, building a movement of individuals concerned about animal welfare and the health and sustainability of our food. We are driven by a passion for animal welfare and food system change, believing in a future where animals are treated with compassion and respect, and where sustainable farming practices prevail for a healthy planet.   

Our international headquarters are in Godalming (UK), with team members in 14 countries including the US, Italy, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Spain, Czechia, China, and a specialist policy office in Brussels. This role is part of the Global Fundraising Directorate of over 50 staff, consisting of Philanthropy, Individual Giving, Legacies, Digital, CRM and Brand teams, based internationally, primarily in the UK (HQ) and our six other fundraising markets in the USA and Europe.

Location: Remote in the US (Preference for the Northeast)

You will lead foundation fundraising efforts, cultivating and securing gifts of $10,000+ from foundations, while managing relationships and expanding the donor base. You'll create strategic proposals, reports, and touchpoints to engage and inform partners. Success will depend on effectively summarizing global programme information, maintaining accurate donor records, and tracking progress in Salesforce. Reporting to the US Director of Philanthropy, you'll work with a supportive team of three in the US, and a broader team of 12 in the UK and Europe. 

About You:

To succeed in this role, you'll need a strong track record in securing and managing six-figure foundation grants, creativity in crafting proposals, and proficiency in Salesforce or similar CRM. Strong analytical skills and attention to detail will help you manage complex information and produce high-quality communications. 

Thriving in this role will also depend on your ability to secure gifts from new, as yet unidentified prospects and maximizing the support of our Global Senior Prospect Research Manager.

Developed by Animal Law Focus – Beta Version Now Available Animal Law Focus is proud to launch the first interactive map of its kind in Chile, providing public access to the locations and profiles of farms, slaughterhouses and aquaculture facilities, across the country. This tool was created to promote transparency, legal accountability, and informed advocacy in the farm animal sector. The map includes: * All identified facilities involved in animal production, including broiler farms, egg-laying operations, dairy farms, fattening units, slaughterhouses, and aquaculture facilities. * A unique profile for each facility, detailing its official registration and any animal welfare infractions recorded over the last five years. * Direct access to publicly available data sourced from national enforcement agencies. 🔧 Currently in its beta version, this tool is a work in progress. It will be continuously updated and improved to ensure it becomes the most comprehensive and accessible enforcement database for animal agriculture in Chile. Our aim is to equip the public, advocates, journalists, researchers, and policymakers with the data they need to demand stronger protections for animals and push for systemic reform. This launch is part of a broader strategy to shine a light on practices that are often hidden from public view — and to ensure that existing animal protection laws are effectively enforced. 📢 We will soon publish our first national report analysing five years of enforcement data and proposing concrete legal reforms to strengthen animal welfare in Chile.

Humánny pokrok has launched its new flagship campaign called STOP rýchlokurčatám (“STOP the fast chickens”) focusing on broiler chickens in Slovakia. The goal was to establish chicken welfare as a relevant public issue in Slovakia, secure a mandate for action from the public, and prepare the grounds for future corporate outreach efforts and pressure campaigns. We’ve launched with publishing the first investigation footage from broiler chicken farms in Slovakia, which was presented in the news segment and investigation programme of the biggest TV station in the country, reaching over half a million viewers, and an additional 1.2 million later on social media. This was followed by a campaign including an agency produced video with a local celebrity that has reached over 2 million people (over one third of the population). On top of that, we’ve published two new reports: one covering the welfare issues of fast growing breeds of broiler chickens, the market data, opinion polls, and ECC commitments and requirements, and one covering the financial aspects of transitioning to ECC compliant production in Slovakia. The reports reached an additional 1 million people through media mentions. We’ve already met with a couple of retailers and are working on additional meetings as we speak. But so far, despite some early signs of possible progress, they are trying to deflect media inquiries and public statements. The Poultry union is, surprisingly, pointing to imported chickens as the main issue, essentially throwing the ball at the retailers as well. However, the investigated farmers are ramping up their legal threats to levels not seen before, probably encouraged by the political situation in the country and decline of the rule of law.  Three weeks after the launch, the campaign collected over 30,000 petition signatures (slightly more than 0.5% of population) calling for the end of fast growing chickens, which is slightly less than we were aiming for, but should be sufficient
