The Brigid Alliance

The Brigid Alliance seeks to add a Development Officer to its remote team to help the organization sustain significant growth, beckoned by an increasing need for travel support among abortion seekers in the US. 

About: 
The Brigid Alliance (501c3) is a nationwide practical support organization for people who must travel long distances for abortion care. Working across the United States, we arrange and fund confidential travel, lodging, childcare, and logistical assistance, closing the gap between the need for an abortion and the ability to access one. We partner with independent and nationally affiliated clinics, abortion funds, and local and regional practical support organizations. The Brigid Alliance envisions a world where everyone has access to abortion care, uninhibited by stigma, and free of systemic or geographic barriers.

Since launching in August of 2018, The Brigid Alliance has assisted more than 8,500 individuals and families from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and beyond. We are a crucial part of the reproductive health ecosystem, connecting the geographic and metaphorical dots between policy, providers, practice, and patients.

Role Overview:
The Development Officer will be part of a remote team that reports to the Senior Major Gifts Officer and works under the strategic direction of the Senior Director of External Relations, and is responsible for growing both audience and revenue from individual midlevel donors, defined as those contributing between $500 and $4,999 annually.  This role is integral to sustaining The Brigid Alliance's growing donor base at a time of increased demand for abortion travel support.
