Ecojustice

As Canada’s largest environmental law charity, our mission is using the law to defend nature, combat the climate crisis, and fight for a healthy environment for all.

People who choose to join us recognize that this planet is our most treasured inheritance, and it is our imperative to be good stewards for the generations who follow us. We believe in protecting the environment while having enough time off to enjoy it. If you are courageous, collaborative, and dedicated to the fight for a healthier environment, you will find your people here.

To achieve this, Ecojustice:

• lawyers represent community groups, non-profits, Indigenous-led organizations and individual Canadians on the frontlines of the fight for environmental justice.
• pushes for better laws: Our experts testify in front of committees and make recommendations to strengthen environmental legislation.
• engages the public: Our work highlights environmental issues and changes the conversation, forcing our leaders to sit up and listen.

Ecojustice is independent of government influence and receives and seeks no government funding. This makes our fundraising efforts essential to achieving our goals and advancing Ecojustice’s mission.

The role of Director of Philanthropy is open for an experienced and passionate fundraiser and leader. It is the seniormost fundraising leader at Ecojustice nationally, reporting directly to the Executive Director and acting as a member of the national senior leadership team.

This is an exciting leadership opportunity for someone who:

• Is driven to effect change at the level of planetary survival.
• Wants to join an environmental organization that is impactful, credible, and authoritative.
• Finds meaning and purpose in environmental law.
• Is keen to play a leadership role in a large organization across the country.
• Embraces both the need for accountability and best practices, and a justice and EDI lens.
