(Career Progress) Senior Development Strategist (Grant Writer), Community Change, Washington, DC

Senior Development Strategist (Grant Writer)

About Community Change and Community Change Action:

Community Change builds the power and capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to lead powerful and dynamic movements for social change. With our community-based partner groups, we bridge the grassroots and the national, supporting outsider strategies to disrupt the status quo while also building pathways to influence the insider conversation.

Our vision of a better world centers the leadership of impacted people of color to move our work on immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity, including a focus on jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform.

This position also supports Community Change Action , an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – equity, inclusion, and justice – Community Change and Community Change Action operate independently of one another and each organization has its own board of directors.

Position Description:

The Senior Development Strategist (Grant Writer) assists the Deputy Director of Development Strategy and Senior Writer in raising over $20 million from foundations and major gifts to support Community Change and Community Change Action, with a particular focus on foundation fundraising. S/he is a key member of the Institutional Advancement (IA) team, which works collaboratively across the organization and in close coordination with executive leadership, program colleagues, finance and operations teams, and the communications unit. The SDS (Grant Writer) will produce a large amount of nuanced written material under deadline; participate in foundation strategy development; track deadlines and completion of certain fundraising tasks; and manage information and relationships.

Principal Responsibilities:

The Senior Development Strategist (Grant Writer) is responsible for sustaining and increasing support from existing funders, supporting the cultivation and solicitation of new funders, writing a variety of funder-focused content, and supporting the team's writing needs (e.g. editing other writers, writing updates for funder communications, etc.).

Community Change and Community Change Action regard funders as key partners and collaborators, which means IA works closely with program staff, serving as a bridge between programs and funders. As part of this structure, the SDS will be "embedded" in program teams to become deeply familiar with our work on racial and economic justice, jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform. In collaboration with the SDS (project manager), s/he will:

Develop subject matter expertise on Community Change programs;
Work in close collaboration with program directors to translate program objectives into grant deliverables, and make a compelling case to funders to increase support for our programs;
Support the planning and execution of fundraising strategies and revenue pipelines, working with senior leadership;
Develop content to support program priorities as part of our 15-year strategic plan, which will include writing grant proposals and reports that set the stage for renewals, as well as case statements, concept notes, organizational and program overviews, and donor updates; and
Track all funder communications in our constituent and grants management systems.

Qualifications:

The Senior Development Strategist (Grant Writer) will be a sharp and persuasive writer who is curious and adaptable. S/he sees fundraising as their contribution to the movement for social justice and is committed to using their work to advance the struggle for immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity.

The SDS must build good relationships, internally and externally, and cultivate an instinct for fundraising opportunities and alignment between funders' interests and our programs. The SDS needs to be able to move at a fast pace and keep track of details and deadlines. S/he should also have a collegial spirit and a good sense of humor. In addition, the ideal candidate will bring:

Five years of professional experience, preferably with at least one year of grant writing for a non-profit organization;
Superb writing skills;
Familiarity with standard methods of foundation solicitation and cultivation;
Work experience with an organization that represents the interests of communities of color a plus.
Keen attention to detail, including strong editing skills and familiarity with AP Style;
Experience using Raiser's Edge, Salesforce, or other CRM;
Proficiency in Microsoft Office required and Google Suite preferred;
Proven ability to learn quickly, work independently, meet multiple deadlines, and perform under pressure;
Ability to work and collaborate with diverse staff in person and remotely;
Demonstrated commitment to Community Change's mission to build the power of low-income people of color to fight for a world where everyone can thrive; and
Commitment to economic, race and gender justice essential.

This person reports to: Deputy Director of Development Strategy and Senior Writer

Community Change recognizes a staff bargaining unit affiliated with IFPTE Local 70, a union for non-profit workers. This position is included in Community Change's bargaining unit and covered under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

Salary and benefits: $65,000 – $75,000 annual salary. Community Change also offers an excellent benefits package, which includes 4 weeks of annual paid vacation; additional paid holiday leave between December 24 and January 1; 8% employer contribution to retirement account after six months of employment (and 3% employer contribution for the first 6 months); and a choice of generous health insurance plans.

This position is located in Washington, DC.

Magyar film, angol felirattal, 72 perc

Schneider Mátyás fuvarozó egyik napról a másikra feltör, gazdagságát azonban megkeseríti, hogy úrhatnám felesége egy grófi lakájt szerződtet, mert nagypolgári életet akar élni. Szerencsére, mert így a Kabos - Csortos kettőssel lett ez a mű a magyar hangosfilm életképességének bizonyítéka és első tanújele, amelyből nemzedékek egész sora tanulhatta meg, hogy vajon mi is az a "magyar filmvígjáték". Ez volt Kabos Gyula első hangosfilmje, melyet Zágon István hasonló színdarabjából Nóti Károly vitt át filmre, a zenéjét pedig Eisemann Mihály szerezte.

HYPPOLIT, THE BUTLER.

1931 Digitally remastered edition

Hungarian movie with English subtitles, 72 minutes

Mátyás Schneider (Gyula Kabos) is a typical parvenu, an ignorant transportation entrepreneur who has become very rich quickly. Despite their humble origins, his wife (Mici Haraszti) strives to live a 'sophisticated' and 'aristocratic' lifestyle. When she engages a butler, Hyppolit (Gyula Csortos) - who was an educated man, and who has served in the household of a late count for 27 years and traveled around the world with the late Count - their whole life is turned upside down: Schneider has to shave off his mustache, wear a dinner suit for dinner and eat French food instead of his beloved onions and roasted goose, while his wife is bullied by the butler into engaging in gymnastics and a rather meagre diet.

In the meantime, the Schneiders' spirited daughter, Terka (Éva Fenyvessy), falls for their good-looking manager, the former driver István Benedek (Pál Jávor), who keeps secret that he is in fact an engineer with a college diploma. Her mother, however, would prefer the good-natured, but quite stupid Makáts (Gyula Gózon) as a suitor, because Makáts's uncle (Sándor Góth), a city councillor, may help them to get a lucrative contract.

Things begin to turn upside down, when Schneider follows Hyppolit's suggestions to start dating Mimi (Mici Erdélyi), a singer and dancer at a sleazy night club. When he fails to show up at a date with her, the girl enters the Schneiders' villa, where a dinner party with important guests - including Makáts's uncle - is taking place, and causes a scandal. Meanwhile, Terka follows her own plans to get the man she wants...

[Unicum] Looking for a place in Washington during August

Dear members of the Unicum Group,

A very close friend of mine from Hungary, who is an archeologist and will be doing research at the Smithonian, is looking for a place in/around DC for August, at a modest rent. He will be accompanied by his wife and teenage son, and would spend ideally a month, but at least two weeks, in Washington, depending on housing affordability. Access to public transport would be important. If you are looking for someone to look after your home while you are traveling and earn some money on the side or know someone who is interested in short term rental, please kindly let me know.

Many thanks,

Andras

————————

Kdeves Unicum Csoport!

Egy közeli magyar barátom, aki régész és a Smithonianban fog kutatast vegezni, szallast keres augusztusra Washingtonban vagy közeli környéken, mérsékelt bérleti díj ellenében. A felesége és teenager fia is vele lesz. Ideális esetben egy hónapot töltenenek Washingtonban, de minimum két hetet, a lakhatás költségétol függően. Fontos lenne, hogy a lakás/ház tömegközlekedéssel elérhető legyen. Ha kerestek valakit aki a nyaralásotok alatt otthonotok gondját viselné és meg fizetne is érte, vagy ha ismertek valakit aki rövid távra kiadna az otthonát, kerem jelezzetek.

Nagyon köszönöm,

András

Kedves Barátok,

Nagy örömmel tölt el, hogy egyre több amerikai házastárs, barát, vagy Magyarorságon tanult régi diák érdeklődik a magyar történelem és művészetek iránt.

Ezért gondoltunk arra, hogy azoknak az ismerősöknek is szervezünk előadásokat, akik nem beszélnek magyarul.

A személyes meghívás mindig sokkal vonzóbb, így rajtatok keresztül is szeretnénk minél több ember ismereteit bővíteni.

Talán nekünk is sokat adnak ezek a történelmi, művészettörténeti és irodalmi előadások.

Regisztrációra nincs szükség, de az shjudit@kossuthfoundation.org email címre elküldött visszajelzés nagy segítség a szervezésben.

Nagyon szépen köszönöm,

Haála Judit

Positions Reporting to this Position: Legislative Representatives

Description:

The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) works to turn environmental values into national, state and local priorities. LCV, in collaboration with our state LCV partners, advocates for sound environmental laws and policies, holds elected officials accountable for their votes and actions, and elects pro-environment candidates who will champion our priority issues.

LCV's work to protect and advocate for the environment is rooted in our commitment to racial, social and environmental justice. Engaging communities of color, among other key constituencies is an organizational priority. Within the organization, we aim to create a workplace culture and policies and practices that demonstrate how we value equity and inclusion.

We are seeking a well-respected and strategic leader to direct our advocacy work on the broad suite of environmental policy issues on which LCV works. The Legislative Director should have a proven track record in federal government relations, strong command of national climate policy and experience with a wide range of environmental issues, good political judgement, and be committed to racial and environmental justice. This high-level addition to LCV's governmental affairs team will help craft and oversee our advocacy strategy, including both our proactive legislative agenda and defending against executive branch attacks on core environmental protections and attempts to reverse progress on climate change, clean energy, lands conservation, water protections and other issues.

Responsibilities:

● Provide leadership and strategic vision for LCV's advocacy efforts on federal environmental policy with a strong focus on climate change.

● Serve as LCV's senior lobbyist and build a strong network of relationships directly with members of Congress, as well as high-level personal office staff and key committee and leadership staff.

● Ensure that LCV's policy advocacy advances racial justice and equity, including through deepening staff-level understanding of the connection between environmental and racial justice, building organizational partnerships, and working with leaders of color in Congress.

● Serve as a high-level national spokesperson for LCV and help shape our policy-related communications and messaging strategies.

● Lead the production of LCV's nationally-recognized National Environmental Scorecard and direct the department's real-time tracking of recent votes.

● Collaborate effectively with LCV's Policy and Lobbying team, external coalitions, and our state league partners to block, weaken or delay Congressional and executive branch attacks on our nation's bedrock environmental laws and to advance a pro-environment agenda.

● Provide leadership to and work across the Membership and Online Engagement, Communications, Field, and Chispa teams to effectively advance our policy priorities and ensure veracity of our materials.

● Possess a strong overall assessment of macro-dynamics in Congress to effectively craft the legislative strategy to advance LCV's policy priorities.

● Partner with the Conservation Voter Movement, a network of over 30 state leagues, on various projects and provide timely updates on top priority federal legislation.

● Play a senior role in LCV's electoral work, including through engagement with candidates, PAC investments, and updating the Congressional Candidate Questionnaire.

● Assist with fundraising efforts, including writing high quality proposals and reports and cultivating individual donors.

Qualifications:

Work Experience: At least 7-10 years of work experience. Background working on Capitol Hill, in the executive branch, or at an advocacy or political organization strongly preferred.
Skills: Policy analysis and research, federal government relations, coalition-building, strong political judgement, excellent written and verbal communication skills, including delivering public presentations. Ideally, the candidate will also have experience using social media tools, such as Facebook and Twitter. Strong interpersonal and management skills with an ability to develop relationships with individuals representing a rich mix of race, gender, talent, experience, and background. Organized and attentive to details; commitment to teamwork and community; ability to handle multiple tasks, effectively prioritize and thrive in a fast-paced setting.
Cultural Competence: Demonstrated awareness of one's own cultural identity, views about difference, and the ability to learn and build on varying cultural and community norms. A commitment to the complex understanding of racial justice and the urgency of confronting institutional racism and inequity within our political system. Commitment to equity and inclusion as organizational practice and culture. Commitment to environmental protection and mission of LCV.
Conditions: Able to work long hours to get the job done. This position is based in Washington, D.C. but qualified candidates outside of D.C. are welcome to apply.
