Alabama Arise works hard to break down policy barriers to opportunity for people living in or near poverty. We recognize the role that structural racism plays in creating and sustaining these barriers, and we have an organizational commitment to promote racial equity in all that we do. Using policy analysis, advocacy and organizing, Arise provides a structure in which Alabamians can engage in public debates to promote the common good. As Arise adds staff members and increases our work to build a better state, our development needs are growing, too. That’s why we’re hiring a full-time development director to strengthen our movement for dignity, equity and justice for all Alabamians. The development director will sustain, manage and grow our grants portfolio and will oversee and grow our individual and group membership program. This job is ideal for someone who wants to come to work every day thinking about building a statewide infrastructure to support social justice, grassroots leadership and the power of everyday people to make Alabama better.

Our longtime development director Brenda Boman has decided to move into a more part-time position. She will continue to manage individual and group memberships as a member of the development team. P.P.S. – The Alabama Equal Voice Network (AEVN) is hiring, too!
