Are you looking for a flexible and creative Development Director career opportunity with a mission-driven nonprofit?<\/p>\n
What is Coltura? Coltura is a nonprofit organization that is laser-focused on the transition away from gasoline and diesel towards cleaner alternatives. Coltura’s name is a mashup of CO2 and culture \u2013 to demonstrate the need to break our love affair with gasoline. Vehicle emissions from gasoline and diesel are the country\u2019s biggest source of air pollution. Coltura\u2019s strategy addresses three key aspects of the problem: gasoline demand, gasoline supply and gasoline culture. Our focus currently is Washington State and California, but steps are in motion for continued expansion and influence of other states.<\/p>\n
