The Liz Claiborne & Art Ortenberg Foundation (LCAOF) is an invitation-only philanthropic foundation dedicated to community-based wildlife conservation. The Foundation seeks a Program Assistant to support the administration of its global grantmaking portfolio and operational needs of the organization. The Program Assistant will report to the Senior Program Officer and work in close collaboration with other members of a small New York City-based team including an Executive Director, Program Officer, Senior Program Associate, and Operations Manager.
