Job description

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

The Development Team leads the Working Families Party’s fundraising strategy to sustain its core operating costs, pursue new campaign fundraising opportunities, and engage wealthy people who are committed to working class governing power in the life of the party. There are two Development Managers on the team, each with different fundraising, project management, and administrative responsibilities. The Development Managers are members of the Development Team and report to the Deputy Development Director. This grants focused Development Manager’s responsibilities will include managing a portfolio of funder renewals, grants management and writing, and other administrative work.
