Weighed LinkedIn's cost against nonprofit salary, recalled prior resourcesWeighed LinkedIn's cost against nonprofit salary, recalled prior resourcesFor a $10,000–$15,000, part-time 1099 role, LinkedIn's paid tiers are hard to justify. Free posting is your best bet there — but it's capped at one active listing for 14 days before it pauses and requires promotion if you repost the same title within seven days. If you want to boost it, promoted posts run $7–$10/day minimum on a pay-per-click model, averaging $2.83 per applicant — for a role this size, that spend doesn't pencil out against a $10–15K annual budget.

Two better-fit alternatives, both of which you've already used successfully for MC917 hires:

1. Idealist.org — Free for nonprofits, mission-driven audience, exactly the semi-retired/re-engaging professional profile you're targeting. You already have this as Posting B in your five-document package.
2. DANA (Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement) job board — Free/low-cost, hyper-local to Delaware, and reaches the exact nonprofit-sector, in-state candidate pool this role needs (occasional DE travel is a stated requirement, so local reach matters more than national reach here).

Practical read: skip LinkedIn's paid promotion entirely. Post free on LinkedIn for visibility and network reach, and put your real effort into Idealist and DANA — that combination costs you nothing and targets the right candidate pool more precisely than a paid LinkedIn boost would.posting job description to DANA, provide answer to question below

Please share a list of when your different board committees meet.Retrieving MC917 board structure and committee meeting detailsRetrieving MC917 board structure and committee meeting detailsBased on your prior grant application language, here's the answer to enter in DANA:

Board Committee Meeting Schedule:

The MC917 Foundation Board of Directors meets monthly. Standing committees meet monthly as well, with additional ad hoc sessions scheduled around grant reporting deadlines and time-sensitive compliance matters (e.g., Finance Committee meetings tied to funder reporting cycles).

One flag before you submit: I found two slightly different figures in your prior materials — one grant application described the full board as meeting quarterly with committees meeting monthly, while a more recent document (June 2026) states the full board meets monthly. The monthly-board figure is the more recent and more consistent reference across your governance documents, so I used that above. If DANA's application is public-facing or could be cross-checked against other funder materials, you may want to confirm which cadence is current before submitting — happy to update if quarterly-board is actually correct.ok, next question- Is there anything else you'd like to share about your organization?Synthesized organizational history, mission focus, and growth narrative strategicallySynthesized organizational history, mission focus, and growth narrative strategicallyHere's a draft for that field:

MC917 Foundation, Inc. is the philanthropic arm of The Monday Club, Inc., one of the oldest Black men's civic organizations in Delaware, founded in Wilmington in 1876. Incorporated in 2017 as a Delaware 501(c)(3), MC917 has built a growing portfolio centered on student persistence — not traditional scholarships — through our Longwood Foundation-funded Student Persistence & Support Initiative at Delaware State University, alongside food security, mentoring, and family support programs serving the Wilmington community. We operate as a volunteer-led, low-overhead organization with a track record of securing and stewarding multi-year institutional grants, and we're now building out our first paid staff infrastructure — starting with this Executive Program Coordinator role — to sustain that growth responsibly.

This positions MC917 as established and credible (150-year parent organization, real grant track record) while explaining why you're hiring now.

MC917 Foundation, Inc. is the philanthropic arm of The Monday Club, Inc. — one of the oldest Black men's civic organizations in the country and the oldest in Delaware, founded in Wilmington in 1876. We incorporated as a Delaware 501(c)(3) in 2017 to formalize nearly 150 years of community commitment into structured, sustainable philanthropy.

Who we serve: Our primary focus is student persistence — helping Pell-eligible college students from single-parent households stay enrolled and finish their degrees. Through our Longwood Foundation-funded Student Persistence & Support Initiative at Delaware State University, we provide non-academic stabilization support: emergency financial assistance, mental health access via telehealth, and mentoring — the kinds of support that prevent stop-out but that scholarships alone don't cover. We also run a bi-monthly direct-to-student food delivery program with Rosehill Community Center, designed specifically to reach students who would never self-identify as food insecure or walk into a campus food pantry.

Beyond DSU, MC917 supports the Wilmington community through Wilmington Little League, Adopt-A-Family, an annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, and a youth mentoring initiative in partnership with The Monday Club.

Our values: We believe dignity matters as much as dollars — our programs are built to remove stigma, not just provide aid. We operate lean and volunteer-led, prioritize direct relationships with the people we serve over bureaucracy, and hold ourselves to the same rigor and accountability we'd expect of any funder-facing institution, because we are one.

We're now building our first paid staff infrastructure to sustain this growth responsibly — starting with the Executive Program Coordinator role we're posting today.
