Fundraising Manger - Volunteer Position

Reimagine Agriculture is looking for a fundraising lead who can help us develop consistent funding for our organization. The position will involve building out both the individual and major reoccurring donor sections of our funding streams and working on grant requests and requests to foundations.

We founded Reimagine Agriculture to address pressing food system issues like food waste and animal agriculture. These issues are not given enough attention in Canada. The farming sector is often overlooked in critical and ongoing conversations surrounding waste and climate change. As agricultural waste and demand for meat, dairy, and eggs continue to grow worldwide, their contributions to the already dire effects of climate change will worsen. Reimagine Agriculture is committed to reducing the negative impacts of this industry and spur the critical change needed to transform these systems in Canada and worldwide. 

We accomplish these goals through knowledge mobilization, building alliances, and policy change. This takes the form of presentations to various age groups and organizations, national campaigns with democratic engagement, and engagement with related stakeholders. We focus on being effective, using evidence-based reasoning and meeting people where they are. 

As a young organization, we are still developing long term stable funding sources. We are hoping to work with someone who will help manage and guide our finances. Working in combination with board members and the executive director, this person will help us reach out to major donors, strategize on funding campaigns, help implement a donor timeline and work on letters to grants and foundations. We are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come but we need more support for continued development. 

We want to find a volunteer who has a strong understanding of agricultural issues and a passion to address them. Applicants should be open-minded and thoughtful. It is absolutely not necessary to be vegetarian or vegan for the position (and may even be an asset as that is the primary population we work with).
