We have some interesting items to consider from the
Council on Foundations:
- This Advocacy Coordinator position – which, oddly enough, does not yet show up on their own jobs @ COF page (click on jobs at the council tab)
- Under the all jobs tab at their foundation jobs board, you’ll find fundraising, grant-making, program & other jobs like this Policy & Research Associate position with the Hunt Alternatives Fund
- Interested in international relief work? COF’s comprehensive Haiti Disaster Response section provides a lot of information on foundation, NGO and corporate support/grantmaking efforts in support of Haitian relief – it might also provide you with some organizations to target for your own job search efforts. And, don’t forget our recent Relief/Humanitarian jobs special!
Off the public affairs beat, but high-profile enough to rate a mention here – search by DC location of
Tesla Motors, and you’ll find two

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards will pay you $67k-$70k as their
Online Media Coordinator; maybe they’ll even give you some sound advice as to what do with that windfall.
We’re usually hateful towards slow-loading, flash-enhanced homepages – but we like the
subway-themed site (really – spend a few minutes poking around; it’s nicely done) of New York ad agency
Gotham Inc. Here’s a
Copywriter gig there – great taste in design and an interest in fashion/related fields are musts.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition seeks
Media Relations Intern. Prohibition
of what? – yes, it’s just what you think it is.
It’s probably been bounced all over the twittersphere already, but maybe one or two of you don’t know that the

inelegantly referred to as Twitterer for Pres. Obama by a
handful of media outlets.
