IC Magazine, an independent indigenous rights media outlet based in Winnipeg, is recruiting a part-time Development and Fundraising Coordinator.
For over a decade, IC Magazine has stood as the only indigenous rights media outlet of its kind. Operationalizing a unique process of journalism triage, we have worked tirelessly to democratize the national and international media-scapes for Indigenous Peoples. To date, we have served more than 500 indigenous communities worldwide.
In an effort to secure a future for this work in 2017 and beyond, we are recruiting a Development and Fundraising Coordinator to help design and implement an ethically-driven media sustainability strategy. This will be an awesome experience for someone with a fundraising background looking for further experience with an emerging media powerhouse. As a young and dynamic organization, we are eager to collaborate with a hardworking creative individual on our fundraising work.
Working with IC’s Editor in Chief, the Development and Fundraising Coordinator is responsible for:
A contingency fee, to be capped at 7 percent of organization’s maximum allowable budget.
10-20 hours week for twelve months (flexible) with a review and optional renegotiation of position every six months.
Please send an email indicating your interest with a brief summary of your experience and resumé to John Schertow, IC Editor-in-Chief, at intercontinentalcry@gmail.com
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life.
From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections,
the threat is global—and it is growing.
What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.
Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media
barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context
needed to understand what is truly at stake.
That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..
For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise.
We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context.
And when the world looks away, we stay focused.
But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.
We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions.
And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to
support independent Indigenous journalism.
Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.
Thank you,
John Ahni Schertow
Founder and Editor in Chief
