Tennessee Reporter – The Center Square – Virtual Office

March 23, 2021

About The Center Square
The media industry in the U.S. is shrinking, leaving fewer options for readers to digest the decisions made by their state and local government officials. The Center Square, the state-focused reporting division of the non-partisan, non-profit Franklin News Foundation, seeks to fill this journalistic void.

The Center Square covers government from a taxpayers’ perspective, not from government’s perspective. We hold government officials accountable for their actions and decisions, and inform our readers how those decisions affect them.

The Center Square is staffed by editors and reporters with extensive professional journalism experience. We engage readers with essential news, data and analysis – delivered with velocity, frequency and consistency.

This key role will be joining other state news operations as we expand our impact in the states.

About the Role
The Center Square is seeking a highly motivated, experienced reporter to lead our taxpayer-focused coverage of state government and statewide issues in Tennessee. We’re looking for someone who has both editing and government reporting experience, and a strong interest in and understanding of politics and public policy.

Development Outreach Manager – Independence Institute – Denver, CO

March 22, 2021

About the Organization
The mission of the Independence Institute is to empower individuals and to educate citizens, legislators, and opinion makers about public policies that enhance personal and economic freedom. Founded in 1985, the Independence Institute was the first free-market, state-focused think tank and proponent of reform and civil liberties in the Rocky Mountain West. The Institute has grown in expertise and reputation to lead the state in examining, developing, and forwarding free-market solutions to public policy issues.

But we are more than a think tank. We are an “action tank.” We put our ideas into action through groundbreaking litigation, coalition building, ballot initiatives, media and investigative reporting. We don’t just fight on paper. We fight for freedom on the streets, in the statehouse, in the media, on the ballot, and in the courts.

About the role
The Development Outreach Manager will identify, engage, and win over donor prospects, building Independence Institute’s funding and donor pool. You will be knowledgeable about our principles and focus areas, develop genuine and enduring relationships with existing and prospective donors, effectively communication the connection between our work and donor interests. 

Additionally, you will manage our grants and foundation program, including annual grant cycles and ensuring adherence to all application and reporting deadlines. Partnering across Independence Institute, you will identify relevant grant and foundation funding opportunities and support our policy centers in submission of grant proposals. To be successful in this role, you must be a hard-working, relationship-driven, and self-motivated individual who shares our free-market, pro-freedom perspective.
