Summary
Amazon Watch is a California-based nonprofit organization working to protect the rainforest, advance the rights of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin, and demand corporate accountability to address the climate crisis. Amazon Watch works in partnership and solidarity with Indigenous Peoples across the Amazon as part of the international climate justice movement. Many of our allies across the rainforest are currently facing and resisting climate change-related catastrophes, the onslaught of extreme government regimes, and the expansion of fossil fuels, mining and other extractive industries.
Amazon Watch is seeking a seasoned Director of Philanthropy to lead the organization's fund development team and multi-year fundraising strategy to help fulfill the organization's mission. An ideal candidate will embrace, uphold and help advance decolonization in fundraising and philanthropy, ensuring that Indigenous views inform our donor relationship-building and day-to-day fundraising operations.
