The ACLU of Northern California (ACLU Nor Cal) is comprised of two distinct corporations, the ACLU Foundation of Northern California (the “Foundation,” a 501c3) and the ACLU of Northern California (the “Union,” a 501c4).

The incumbent is a joint employee of both corporations. For most of the last century, ACLU Nor Cal has been part of many of the most major – and sometimes controversial – struggles for civil liberties and civil rights in our state.

The Grant & Development Writer (Writer) manages a small portfolio of private foundation funders, acts as our liaison to corporate donors, and creates the written content for print and online collateral for a variety of donor audiences.
