Fundraising Manager (Board Member)

*This is a remote volunteer position. Candidates should be based in the United States*

Haiti Communitere is seeking qualified applicants for the board member position of Fundraising Manager.

Overview of Association Haiti Communitere

Haiti Communitere was launched in 2010 to provide emergency response support in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that rocked Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The organization initially served as a community engagement platform and physical base where various humanitarian organizations could coordinate emergency response activities and facilitate sustainable disaster recovery. As the political and economic landscape of Haiti has changed in the intervening years and local needs have shifted away from acute humanitarian response towards long-term, community-led initiatives, Association Haiti Communitere has remained a flexible organization and continues to adapt to the ever changing local context. The current situation in Haiti, and particularly Port-au-Prince, is extremely complex as the country has no functioning government and local gangs compete for control of the area. Haiti Communitere currently does two things: 

1. We provide safe accommodation for medically fragile children who need to come to Port-au-Prince for medical care. We also accommodate the childrens’ parents as well as other patients from Port-au-Prince hospitals. 
2. We serve a community resource center that hosts small local organizations who rent our office space, storage space and space for training and workshops.

We are a tiny but valuable organization that punches above our weight in terms of contribution to the local community.

Overview of the position

The Fundraising Manager will lead Haiti Communitere’s fundraising and grant writing activities. This position is a member of the board of directors and reports to the board president.
