Fundraising Manager/Executive (Supporters Engagement)
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLYING AT ACRES.
Pay: $2,700.00 - $3,250.00 per month
Our vision is “A world where animals are treated with compassion and respect.” The most powerful way to create such a world is to be the change. This means respecting animals and people who learn compassion and respect through receiving and observing from us. This includes our volunteers, members of the public, other stakeholders, as well as our own colleagues who hustle hard to move things along, to speak up for the animals, and cheer each other on.
This approach of being the change also applies to one of our objectives which is to “educate people on lifestyle choices which do not involve the abuse of animals and which are environment-friendly”. So we strive for our lifestyles to also be aligned around this objective.
We also look for these qualities in all our staff to help foster a positive work culture:
- Builds positive relationships and communicates effectively with a diverse range of people, showing empathy, appreciation, humility, and support for others.
- Demonstrates a proactive, positive service orientation towards colleagues, volunteers, the public, and other stakeholders.
- Handles interpersonal tension and conflict with compassion and respect, aiming for win-win solutions whenever possible.
- Manages their emotions in healthy and effective ways.
- Embraces continuous learning and growth, staying open to feedback, self-study, peer learning, and lessons from both successes and failures.
Today, our small team of staff and volunteers continues to help the helpless and give voice to the voiceless, touching one life at a time. In summary,
– We save lives, big and small.
– We try out best to give care and sanctuary to those who need it.
– We share their stories with thousands online and in-person.
– We educate, so that we might one day be out of a job.
Our work is a synchronised mess, everyone is doing everything at the same time, but it gets done. You show up to work not just for the perks, but to live your passion, even when it isn’t pretty at times. For the animals, for our community, and for each other.
ACRES Wildlife Rescue Centre and our office is nestled in one of the few remaining rustic areas of Singapore, surrounded by farms in Sungei Tengah. With the nearest bus stop 25 minutes walk away, our working hours from 9:30am to 5pm (except wildlife rescue officer position) allow our team some travel time. Our simple office is surrounded by nature – from wild birds, toads, insects and plenty of vegetation – motivating you more towards the cause we serve!
At the heart of our work and vision is the desire to prevent animal suffering and promote compassion, respect, and the need to be kind and responsible stewards. Aligned with this principle, ACRES upholds our commitment to the animals through a policy that prohibits the consumption of meat and seafood on our premises, whether by our staff, volunteers, or visitors, including instances where they are representing ACRES or utilizing ACRES’s vehicles. We hold steadfast in our commitment through a fully vegan menu during ACRES-sponsored events, including staff gatherings. With these initiatives, we hope to minimise animal suffering, nurture dialogues, and uphold our dedication to wholeheartedly serving animals and the individuals who love them.
