Where NGOs and nonprofits post their jobs, and how their applications and contracts differ from a company role.
Newest first.
NGO jobs are posted on each organisation's own careers page, on sector job boards and, for the UN system, on agency portals. Read the contract type and funding line first, then follow the listing's own application route. Zorlya reads a United Kingdom charity board and a UN vacancies feed, lists employers in a directory, and has no NGO filter.
Nonprofit and NGO applications usually ask for more writing, more evidence of why you want this cause, and more patience with the process. Many roles are funded for a fixed term, pay bands are often set in advance, and references and checks are common. Read the posting for those signals, and answer each question in the form instead of sending a general letter.
Foundation jobs are posted on each foundation's own careers page and filled through an online application system, one opening at a time. The large foundations covered here hire grantmaking, strategy and operations staff, many from outside philanthropy. Check the location and your right to work first, because the Gates Foundation sponsors visas only for some leadership roles.
A motivation letter explains why you want this role at this organisation and gives evidence that you fit it. Follow the call's own instructions. Take the two or three requirements that matter most, give one real example for each, show you share the mission, and add only what the application form does not already hold.
