Nonprofit Board Member — MC917 Foundation, Inc. (Unpaid, Remote/Flexible)

Governance & Strategy — Attend board meetings and review and vote on organizational strategy, budget, and major funding decisions.

Fundraising — Cultivate donor and funder relationships, identify prospects, and help the board meet its collective fundraising goals.

Committee Participation — Serve actively on at least one standing committee aligned with your skills or interests (e.g., Programs, Finance, Marketing, Technology).

Fiduciary Oversight — Review financial statements and help ensure MC917 meets its nonprofit compliance and reporting obligations.

Community Ambassadorship — Represent MC917 at community events and help build visibility, partnerships, and credibility for the organization.

Program Support — Stay engaged with at least one MC917 initiative directly, such as student persistence programming, community small grants, or our annual fundraising events.

While this is an unpaid volunteer role, board members gain meaningful nonprofit governance experience, direct strategic input into a 150-year-old community institution, and the opportunity to build relationships with fellow community leaders across Wilmington's civic, fraternal, and philanthropic networks. Board members will also see firsthand the impact of their work: students who stay enrolled and families who get through hard times.

English — Required (Fluent/Professional Proficiency). Board materials, meetings, and communications are conducted in English.

Spanish — Preferred, not required. Given MC917's community-facing work in Wilmington and Dover, Spanish proficiency would be a meaningful asset for donor outreach and community engagement, but shouldn't be a barrier to otherwise qualified candidates.

This mirrors how you've valued bilingual candidates in the EPC search (Flores, Polit) without making it a hard requirement — reasonable to carry that same posture here since board members aren't doing direct student-facing work. Let me know if you'd rather make English the only listed requirement, or add another language given your board's makeup.
