The Foundation for Economic Education (“FEE”) is seeking a Chief Development Officer whose leadership will enable our team to deliver ambitious and sustainable growth in revenues.
This is a unique career opportunity if you have a deep passion for the ideas of classical liberalism, have a record of leadership in fundraising for liberty-related causes, and thrive in a high-performance environment.
Since its founding in 1946, FEE has dedicated itself to making the fundamental economic, ethical, and legal principles of a free society both accessible and compelling to a general audience. Since 2008, we have put a particular emphasis on youth audiences, and we have become the premier connector of young people with the freedom philosophy.
With donation revenues currently in the $7 million range, FEE is well beyond the days when we conducted a few seminars in the summer and published a limited-circulation magazine. In 2023,
- Our student programs achieved 34,000 student engagements in US high schools,
- Our teacher training reached 3,200 teachers and has 4,700 subscribers to its online curriculum materials,
- Our written commentary team generated 8.9 million page views on FEE.org and published over 200 articles on other sites,
- Our video series achieved over 28 million views, and
- FEE en Español achieved over 41,000 student engagements in Latin America and 333,000 subscribers to its online content.
There is a strong management team overseeing these five program areas. More detailed information may be found at https://fee.org/about.
We intend to keep scaling up. To accelerate our growth, FEE has recently hired its 12th president, Diogo Costa, a successful transformer of both educational organizations and think tanks in Brazil, who also has advanced degrees in political economy from the US and the UK and four years of formative early experiences in US think tanks. Diogo is a dynamic relationship-builder, an inspiring leader, and a compelling speaker.
