Director of Grants & Foundation Relations

Position Focus: Leadership of Grant-Driven Fundraising.

Position Details: There aren’t many places like Pink Ribbon Good (PRG). Here you’ll put more good into the world and get paid for it! Our team has the exciting energy of a start-up doing big things, we’ve grown over 400% in the last five years, along with a true sense of community that stems from hopping in the trenches with one another so that we can walk alongside our clients on their cancer journeys.

Being a PRGer isn’t for everyone. Being surrounded by cancer every day changes you. But we’d argue for the better. At PRG we are constantly reminded of just how precious every day is so we love big, appreciate the little things and show up for one another.
