Manhattan Institute for Policy Research
New York, NY, United States
Manhattan Institute for Policy Research (MI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, right-of-center public policy think tank based in midtown Manhattan, with a small satellite office in Washington, D.C. For more than 40 years, MI's scholars have been committed to developing and disseminating policy ideas that foster greater economic choice and individual responsibility in America.
Their work is rooted in conservative and classical liberal fundamentals. To finance their scholarship, MI relies on gifts from generous supporters. MI's Development team raises monetary support to underwrite our scholars' work.
To fill a new position on this growing team, we seek a candidate who will be responsible for raising support for MI by managing and expanding a book of donors and helping to lead the Development office.
The successful candidate will be deeply interested and experienced in public policy at the federal, state, and/or local levels. Past fundraising experience is not required, but team-leadership experience, along with extreme attention to detail and exceptional organization skills are essential. Qualified candidates are those who also have proven experience in researching, analyzing, and writing about complex public-policy ideas, and who enjoy doing so with strategic goals in mind. The candidate should be proven in developing external relationships, understanding individuals and coalitions, and communicating with high-level business and thought leaders, as well as their own team.
This position requires a thinker and writer who is capable of articulating the value of MI scholars' projects and goals to audiences of sophisticated, policy-savvy supporters. We seek an individual who thrives in entrepreneurial, creative, and fast-paced environments, and who wants to help propel the success of MI's scholars over time by growing MI's network of donors (primarily but not exclusively in New York City and D.C.). At the same time, this team member will oversee the workflow of other Development staffers, working with the Director of Development to maximize the team's efficiency, organization, and productivity in terms of funds raised.
With respect to his or her individual fundraising portfolio, the Development Manager will be assigned to specific MI policy vertical(s), and will be solely responsible to work with donors and potential donors to further our scholars' work in each area.
The successful candidate may come from a variety of backgrounds—including Capitol Hill, a policy nonprofit, private industry, lobbying, academia, or otherwise. Above all, the candidate must demonstrate exceptional drive, unique ability to be self-directed and motivated by ambitious goals. All applicants must hold past experience in translating nuanced ideas to high-level parties in a persuasive manner. Excellent pitching/presentation and writing skills are required.
Occasional travel to Washington, D.C. and elsewhere is expected.
This position is based at MI's headquarters in midtown Manhattan. Interested candidates who presently do not reside in the region must be planning or willing to relocate to metropolitan New York City.
Applicants lacking prior work experience that speaks to the aforementioned requirements will not be considered.
A graduate degree (MA, MBA, JD, PhD) is strongly preferred.
Salary is commensurate with experience.
HOW TO APPLY
Applicants must articulate how their past experience has prepared them to do the job described above. This will be communicated through a cover letter that connects both your: 1) work experience; and 2) personal outlook to MI's mission. This letter must clearly lay out your interest in the position and how you would add value to MI's Development team. A stock cover letter will not be considered. E-mail your letter—including a salary requirement—with your resume, and a list of three professional references (names and contact info) in a single PDF to support@manhattan-institute.org, addressed to Matt Toyer, Director of Development.

In 2006 a coalition of business, labor, government, non-profit, and educational leaders in the Puget Sound region focused on strategies to help sustain the cultural sector and to increase public access to Puget Sound cultural organizations. In its report published in 2012, the coalition recommended that the State of Washington authorize the local creation of cultural access funds, statewide.
Following passage of State cultural access legislation in July 2015, Cultural Access Washington (CAWA) became incorporated as a 501(c)(4) organization, governed by a 24-member Board of Trustees with a mission to create a cultural access program in King County and support similar efforts in other localities across the state. The King County Council passed an ordinance to create Access for All with a public vote in August 2017. Proposition 1/Access for All fell short of approval by less than one percent in an off-year primary election.
Despite this legislative defeat, Cultural Access Washington remains a unique coalition of 50 cultural, science, and heritage institutions – the first time small and large institutions from these diverse sectors have joined together to advocate for equity, education, funding, access, and expansion of the shared value created in our communities.
CAWA Today
Today, CAWA stands at an inflection point. In a complex policy environment and in the context of rapid social change, our mission and vision have remained strong:
Mission:
To transform communities across Washington State through the inspiration of arts, science, and heritage experiences.
We envision vibrant communities where :
Our unique and shared histories bring people together, lift them up and empower them to succeed;
Everyone in our society has the ability to benefit from and be inspired by the cultural experiences available in our state;
Local communities serve as champions of their own cultural identities and legacies.
Our arts, science, and heritage organizations, from the smallest grassroots enterprises to the largest institutions, have sustainable resources to create wide and deep human impact through their work.
We seek a new voice to craft new strategies and lead us in building a plan to achieve these ambitious goals.
Profile Summary
CAWA’s Executive Director will unite our diverse cultural sector – nonprofit arts, science and heritage organizations large and small, their audiences, allies, and communities – in the cause for cultural access. CAWA seeks a visionary leader who is not only able to coordinate a wide range of activities; direct a team of researchers, consultants, fundraisers, and others; and manage the activities of our coalition; but also energize and inspire our constituents in a state-wide movement towards meaningful political action.
The position calls for a leader who can build consensus, empower advocates, and create and sustain new and existing relationships with cultural leaders, policymakers, and allied community organizations. We especially seek a leader who brings meaningful expertise in addressing issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and access, and experience working with ‘community based organizations’ (with budgets under $1.25 million).
Salary is commensurate with experience. CAWA pays 100% of the premiums for a generous benefits package.

5-7 years’ experience in advocacy and political processes
Demonstrated success in addressing equity, diversity, inclusion, and access in arts, science and/or heritage
Evidence of superior communication and interpersonal skills for building a range of relationships
Tasks and Responsibilities
Execute outreach and coalition-building strategies with multiple constituencies including the cultural sector, the business community, schools and educators, labor, local governments, and other community nonprofits.
Develop a strategic framework for movement-building and advocacy to guide development of specific legislative objectives, in collaboration with the CAWA Board of Trustees.
Lead CAWA in developing a plan to bring Access for All back for a second public vote among King County voters.
Lead the ongoing effort to assess interest in cultural access programs across the state and work with local communities and their county or city authorities to help plan a path to a local vote and assist in executing a local campaign.
Create and manage a process for selecting and contracting with consultants who provide expertise in research and polling, political campaigns, lobbying, coalition building, grass roots advocacy, social media, crowd funding, PR, communications and media relations.
Measure progress against goals in each area of concentration and recommend strategic adjustments as necessary.

Produce thoughtful, efficient and regular communication with Trustees, and CAWA Member organizations.
Speak on behalf of CAWA, its value, and benefits at all manner of public gatherings.
Meet with elected officials in collaboration with CAWA lobbyists as necessary to develop meaningful relationships and facilitate political strategies.
