Organizational Overview:
In 1969, the Committee for Legal Abortion in Missouri formed with the goal of “persuading our legislators to respond to the people’s wish for a more liberal abortion law.” Over the following decades, our name would change several more times, including when Pro-Choice Missouri disaffiliated from NARAL Pro-Choice America in 2021, and when we rebranded to Abortion Action Missouri in 2023, but our work would not. Abortion Action Missouri’s mission is to foster and sustain a Midwest movement for control of our bodies, lives, and futures. We envision a world with stigma-free abortion access and reproductive freedom for all. With 60,000+ members, we are the leading statewide organization working exclusively on reproductive rights issues.

- Manage logistics for other fundraising events such as the annual major donor brunch, and annual PAC dessert auction
- Assist with grants; including: keeping the grants tracking spreadsheet updated on an ongoing basis, adding proposal and reporting deadlines to the calendar, saving award letters to the shared drive, and contributing to grant proposal content
- Work with Development Director and Communications Manager on regular fundraising emails
- Assist in the production of direct mail campaigns
- Other duties as needed
Qualifications:
- Commitment to liberated abortion access and reproductive freedom
