Passionate upland hunter set to expand philanthropic support in Midwest states
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are excited to introduce Jack Brunetto as the organization’s newest development officer based in the Chicago Metropolitan Area. In his role, Brunetto will be responsible for working in collaboration with the organization’s donors, members, volunteers, and partners to expand private and corporate funding relationships benefiting upland habitat conservation.
“Jack is a talented individual and a passionate conservationist and upland hunter,” said Jake Hanson, Director of Development. “Jack’s energy and enthusiasm, along with his skills and passion, will be impactful for habitat and upland wildlife as he expands our network of supporters who are deeply committed to Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s mission.”
Building a strong culture of philanthropy among Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever constituents is a top priority, which includes but is not limited to – leadership gifts and major gifts, charitable bequests, corporate philanthropy, gifts, real estate and conservation easements, endowments and grant funding.
Brunetto joins the team with a professional record of business development and sales accomplishments, as well as a personal passion for the outdoors. He comes to Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever from LaSalle Network, the go-to firm for companies looking for talent and people searching for jobs. Here, he served as the business development manager, responsible for establishing relationships with both mid-market and enterprise clients across North America.
An avid wing shooter and big game hunter, Brunetto enjoys chasing upland birds alongside his hunting dog, Floyd.
“It is a privilege to serve an organization dedicated to conservation, public access, outdoor heritage, and a mission that holds deep personal significance for my family and I,” said Brunetto. “I am committed to advancing the organization’s mission to positively impact and help preserve a lasting upland legacy for future generations.”
While based in the greater Chicagoland area, Brunetto will focus on continuing to expand philanthropic support and deepen relationships with supporters along the west side of Lake Michigan, a metropolitan region encompassing the cities of Chicago and Milwaukee.
