The Nature Trust of BC

Director of Development and Communications

The Nature Trust of British Columbia (NTBC) is one of Canada’s leading non-profit land conservation organizations. For more than 50 years, NTBC has been purchasing, protecting, and restoring ecologically significant lands across British Columbia to permanently safeguard critical habitat for wildlife, fish, and plants.

NTBC and its partners have secured more than 180,000 acres (73,000 hectares) across over 500 conservation areas, a land base comparable in size to the City of Edmonton or Singapore.  Some of this long-term protection of treasured landscapes includes the Salmon River on Vancouver Island, Boundary Bay in the Lower Mainland, White Lake Basin in the Okanagan, and the 10,000-acre Hoodoos conservation complex in the Kootenays.

NTBC depends on those who share its passion for BC: donors, committed community members, and volunteers who trust NTBC with their time and treasure. NTBC places a high priority on operating in a fiscally responsible manner, so it carries no debt nor mortgages.

At a pivotal moment in its history, NTBC is seeking a new Director of Development and Communications to elevate and advance its fundraising and public-facing efforts. NTBC is pivoting its funding models to increase private and philanthropic support, so this new senior fundraising leader will be essential to expanding these relationships and the scope of the program.

Reporting to the CEO and as a member of NTBC’s leadership team, the Director will manage a dedicated staff team of five and collaborate closely with the Board of Directors. The Director will:

  • Lead during a defining period of growth and urgency;
  • Directly influence conservation, climate resilience, and biodiversity protection across British Columbia;
  • Build on a strong and debt-free organization with over five decades of credibility;
  • Expand and enhance fundraising capacity in alignment with NTBC’s Strategic Plan.
