Job description

Great Springs Project (GSP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to create a greenway of contiguous protected lands between San Antonio and Austin over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. This green corridor will include an additional 50,000 acres of protected lands across four counties and be connected by a network of spring-to-spring trails, linking four of Texas' Great Springs: Barton Springs, San Marcos Springs, Comal Springs, and San Antonio Springs. Great Springs Project envisions unifying existing local efforts to address the most critical water, land, wildlife, and public health challenges facing the Central Texas region.

In a state where less than four percent of the land is public, through preserving open space and developing a spring-to-spring trail for the benefit of all trail users, GSP addresses social, health, and recreational equity.

Located in either San Antonio or Austin, the Associate Director of Development supports Major Gifts, Grants, Annual Fund Giving strategy, and Communications and Marketing efforts.
