ABOUT THE CENTER

The Center for Biological Diversity, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, believes the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence of a vast diversity of wild animals, plants and people. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, activism and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that humans, other species and all communities need to survive and thrive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Membership Associate supports the Center's 90,000 members and 1,800,000 supporters by following best practices in nonprofit member stewardship, gift entry and donation processing. The Membership Associate interacts daily with members, donors, and activists to share information about the Center's work, and engage them to build community, increase their support and strengthen relationships. This position communicates and collaborates with other development, membership, leadership, finance, conservation and communications staff to fulfill their role in keeping Center members and supporters engaged and appreciated. There are seasonal periods of increased intensity in this role's work tied to spring, year-end and ad hoc fundraising campaigns.
