About the Organization
The Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) is seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial fundraising pro to join our institutional fundraising team. You’ll be helping us find new foundation and governmental/agency donors and enhance our relationships with current donors as we look to substantially grow our conservation work’s scale and impact.
The need has never been greater and this is the perfect opportunity for someone passionate about conservation and its connection to people to be part of team that’s truly making a difference.
Want to join a growing organization that’s building on a 29+ year track record of success? You’ll work closely with our teams in Colombia, Brazil, Suriname, and Costa Rica, as well as our senior leadership in the US, to develop and fund new conservation programs and enhance our successful ones. And you’ll be involved in developing strategies as well as getting them funded—we’re looking for someone who’s a thinker and collaborator as well as great at execution.

ACT was founded in 1996 to partner with indigenous and other local communities to protect tropical forest and strengthen traditional cultures. We have teams in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the Guianas and a small headquarters office in Falls Church, VA. We’re lean and most of our staff is in the field—where they should be.
Our conservation philosophy is people-based and ACT works to steadily increase the number of local communities in the Amazon region who are able to monitor, sustainably manage and protect their traditional forestlands and significantly increase the area of Amazonian rainforest with improved protection. Our program has three focus areas: sustainable land management and protection; secure and sustainable livelihoods for people; and strengthening community governance and culture. These focus areas drive our vision for the Amazon region and provide a clear, unified and long-term direction for how our organization operates.
