C-SPAN is one of the nation’s most trusted nonpartisan civic institutions, providing unfiltered access to government, public affairs, civic dialogue, and democratic process. Founded in 1979, C-SPAN reaches audiences through three television networks, digital platforms, podcasts, newsletters, social media, radio, and a video archive of more than 300,000 hours of public affairs coverage.

C-SPAN is entering a defining period of transformation, expanding audiences, modernizing operations, diversifying revenue, and investing in people while preserving its strict independence and nonpartisan mission. With philanthropy now central to its future sustainability, C-SPAN seeks its inaugural Chief Development Officer to build a comprehensive fundraising program from the ground up.
