Staff Writer at NPQMarch 17, 2023 Organizational Overview NPQ is the leading media platform for the nonprofit sector in the US. It recently transitioned from its founding president and editor in chief to its second editorial leader. During this transition, NPQ has more deeply grounded itself in its original mission to advance civil society, looking beyond the nonprofit sector. In a time of social movement, this means rethinking what constitutes knowledge in the field and taking a firm stand for justice—and our content reflects this. NPQ produces across a wide range of media channels. In addition to a quarterly magazine, we produce multiple weekly newsletters, webinars, podcasts, videos, and online convenings to promote critical conversations in racial, economic, climate, and health justice, as well as leadership. NPQ currently has a staff of 15, and is in a significant growth phase. We are headquartered in Boston, with remote staff across the country.

Each area has at least one dedicated editor at the desk with expertise in the field. A staff writer provides standard content such as field reports, reviews, and features.

Staff writers stay up to date with current events and writing regular articles. We are looking for a creative and motivated staff writer to create engaging content for our publication. The staff writer's responsibilities include researching topics, interviewing relevant individuals, creating content, and editing your own or other writers' work.
