    Description

    Seeking Volunteer Board Treasurer

    Location: Troy, NY (mostly remote, with occasional in-person meetings)

    Commitment: ~4-6 hours/month (more during budget season)

    Compensation: Volunteer / unpaid board position

    For nearly 20 years, The Sanctuary for Independent Media has turned a century-old church in Troy into a home for independent art, media, and social justice — film, music, radio, community gardens, and grassroots organizing on one urban campus. As we step into an exciting new chapter, we're looking for a Treasurer to help us build a strong financial foundation for decades to come.

    The Role

    You'll join our working board and partner closely with our Executive Director to:

    • Provide oversight of our bookkeeping and accounting firm
    • Ensure our filings are accurate and on time
    • Keep an eye on our QuickBooks system
    • Help the board understand our finances so we can make smart, mission-driven decisions

    This is a great fit for someone with accounting or finance experience who wants to put those skills toward something meaningful.

    Why Join Us

    You'll be part of a dedicated board and staff working to keep independent media, art, and activism thriving in the Capital Region — at a moment when that work matters more than ever. It's hands-on, collaborative, and genuinely impactful.
