Corporate Accountability International - Senior Major Gifts Organizer (Boston)

For the last 30 years, Corporate Accountability International has successfully challenged corporations like GE, Nestlé, and Philip Morris to halt abusive practices that threaten public health, the environment and our democracy. Think Outside the Bottle, our leading campaign, is currently exposing the truth behind bottled water marketing and defending the basic human right to water in the face of increasing corporate control of the resource. Our ongoing and emerging campaigns also challenge the abuses of major tobacco, food and oil transnationals.

With a history of significant campaign victories, the organization is in a strong position to expand. Our development unit focuses on maximizing net revenue from individual donors, national, international and religious foundations, events, direct mail and online outreach.
