Development Director – American Institute for Economic Research – Virtual Office

by

The American Institute for Economic Research was founded in 1933 as America’s first independent research institution dedicated to sound money, free-market economics, prosperity, and peace. The intellectual and donor legacy at AIER is immense. Its reputational capital is impeccable. It is now in an exciting growth phase, and is poised to be even bigger, with high reach in media and a fast-growing staff in our beautiful Great Barrington, Massachusetts, home. The Development Director can work from a virtual office anywhere in the country or may work from our Great Barrington headquarters. Great Barrington rests in the heart of the Northeastern corridor, just over 2 hours from both New York City and Boston, just over an hour to Hartford, and under an hour to Albany.

AIER is seeking an experienced fundraising professional to help take the organization to its next level of growth. AIER’s long history, excellent reputation and large database of donor prospects offer an extraordinary opportunity for donor cultivation. The ideal candidate for this role will be a solid manager who is self-motivated, organized, and professional.

Currently AIER has no on-staff development director or team. We have outsourced our fundraising letters that have been very successful even though we’ve only embarked on this effort in 2018. There is a limited staff to assist the new development director, but the goal is to build an in-house development team. This really is a new beginning with nothing but upside.

President – Foundation for Economic Education – Atlanta, GA

by

The trustees of the Foundation for Economic Education (“FEE”) are seeking a President to succeed Lawrence W. Reed.  The search is being undertaken at the request of Mr. Reed, who will become President Emeritus upon the appointment of the successful candidate.  The target date for the transition is late 2018/early 2019. 

In Mr. Reed’s ten-year tenure—the longest since that of FEE’s founder Leonard E. Read—FEE has experienced dramatic growth and has become one of the most dynamic and productive organizations in the free-market non-profit community. 

Since our founding in 1946, FEE has devoted its efforts exclusively to the dissemination of the principles of classical liberalism.   Since 2008, we have focused in particular on being the entry point for young people into the freedom philosophy and into the larger freedom-loving community.  FEE’s ambition is to be the global leader in making the principles of a free society familiar, credible, and compelling to the rising generation.

To that end, FEE has gathered a team of professionals with expertise in the core disciplines of education, editorial, publishing, media, technology, and marketing.  They are supported by experienced development, finance, and management teams, who have enabled us to triple our revenues and manage the commensurate growth in staff and activity levels over the past ten years.

Wait, You’re a Nonprofit?

Talent Market is a nonprofit. We’ll wait here while that sinks in. We know it’s a crazy concept, but it’s been working like a charm since 2009.

Talent Market’s mission is to promote liberty by providing talent for critical roles within the free-market nonprofit sector.

We provide free consulting and recruiting services to free-market think tanks, policy organizations, research centers, and capacity building institutions dedicated to advancing the principles of limited government and free enterprise. (We do not work in politics, nor do we work with organizations that address social issues.) Talent Market believes that the road to prosperity is paved with freedom and that the success of our movement hinges on the talent that will take us there.
