Our mission is to find, support, and finance organizations that are telling new stories, building advocacy movements, and catalyzing civic engagement. Over the past 7 years, we have supported 60 promising startups, many of which are now widely recognized pillars of the social change community, from Upworthy and Blavity to SumOfUs, Ultraviolet and Vote.org. Our recent Resist & Rebuild Open Call received 500 applications, and we are thrilled to be investing millions in new startups working to protect our democracy and advance social justice. We do all this with a tiny staff and nimble organization and we are seeking a Fundraising & Communications Associate to help us take our impact to the next level.
Are you highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about social change? Help us make sure we never miss a deadline or opportunity, are prepared for every fundraising meeting, and do a great job of sharing our story with the world! We are especially interested in democratizing access to capital and encourage people who are under-represented in the investment and startup communities to apply. Your responsibilities: - Support our fundraising efforts by helping us stay organized and put our best foot forward: manage our grants calendar, process incoming gifts, draft donor communication (including reports and proposals), maintain database, and prep leadership team for funder meetings
- Improve our communications: maintain the editorial calendar, manage social media, update collateral, and send out newsletters
- Help us plan and execute fantastic events, including our annual Summit, donor-hosted dinners, and funder briefings
- Pitch-in as needed to keep the office running smoothly
Candidate requirements: - You are proactive, eager to take ownership, and quick to incorporate feedback
- You have remarkable organizational skills and attention to detail: you love to create order out of chaos, never miss a deadline, get a thrill from a well-organized spreadsheet, and have an eagle eye for typos
- Strong communication skills: you can represent NMV effectively and tell our story to a variety of external audiences, including funders and investors
- Team player: you are happy to schedule meetings or run errands if that's what needed in a busy moment when everyone is juggling many tasks
- Strong values: you build relationships with empathy, integrity, humor and respect; you are committed to advancing social and environmental justice
Candidate Pluses (note: we don't expect any candidate to match more than 1 or 2 in the list below) - Experience with grant-writing and/or external communications
- Eye for design and experience crafting messages
- Experience with Salesforce and/or MailChimp
- We operate at the intersection of social justice, digital organizing, new media, technology and impact investing. Experience in any of these domains a plus.
What to expect from us: - Salary range: $55,000 - $65,000
- Full benefits, including 401k match and health
- A team with a sense of justice and a sense of humor
- A low-ego, high-performance culture and flexible work environment
