Job Title: Development Director, Organizing
Position: Full-Time
Reports To: Senior Director, Institutional Giving
Salary Range: $110,000 - $115,000
Start date: November 15, 2024
Work Location: Flexible
BACKGROUND
The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit working to win respect, recognition, and inclusion in labor protections for the 2.2+ million domestic and care workers in the US. Founded in 2007, we use organizing and civic engagement, strategic campaigns and innovative research, narrative and culture change, and alliance building to deliver on our mission of improving domestic and care jobs. Our 501(c)4 allied organization Care in Action is the advocacy home for women who care. Founded in 2006, Care in Action builds political power for women of color and domestic workers to ensure they have the economic support they need to thrive.
Our movement has made major strides to bring care out of the shadows and begin improving these essential jobs, but there’s still much work to be done. NDWA and Care in Action are now in a moment of organizational growth and transformation. A new strategic plan and significant growth capital investments have positioned our organizations to deliver on our transformative, North Star vision: An economy where care is valued and all work has dignity, and a democracy where everyone has a voice and sense of belonging.
POSITION SUMMARY
We seek a seasoned development professional to act as Development Director, Organizing during this pivotal time of expansion. Reporting to the Senior Director of Institutional Giving, you will own fundraising strategy and implementation for our grassroots organizing, field-building, and state and local policy campaigns, which are critical strategies for building worker power and leadership, delivering tangible wins to our base, and bolstering broader national priorities. Organizing is at the heart of NDWA’s work and informs all our other strategies; our alliance has an on-the-ground presence in key locales, including seven chapters staffed by NDWA employees and 63 independent affiliate organizations.
Your primary responsibilities will include sustaining existing philanthropic partnerships with supporters of this work, while also building new relationships to meet revenue growth goals specific to this portfolio. You will coordinate with staff across departments to produce persuasive written materials such as proposals, reports, and concept notes. The right person for this role will have at least 4-6 years of demonstrated, successful experience independently stewarding funder relationships and writing grant proposals and other funder materials, and will be able to navigate competing priorities while moving from project to project with ease. As a member of a high-performing, collaborative, and expanding Development Department, you’ll also play a key role in shaping evolving team operations and culture. This position collaborates closely with leaders from the Organizing team. As such, experience fundraising for movement-based organizations with deep field and membership presence will be important. It is envisioned that a Manager-level role will be added to support this portfolio and would be supervised by this position; exact timing is dependent on need and the broader Development Department’s evolution.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
QUALIFICATIONS
HOW TO APPLY
Please apply directly to the job posting with your resume, cover letter, and two samples or excerpts from recent development writing. Applications will only be accepted electronically, and solicitations to individual staff are unlikely to be responded to.
We value a truly diverse workforce and a culture of inclusivity and belonging. People from historically disadvantaged communities, such as women, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people are strongly urged to apply. NDWA is a union employer; this position is a management position and is therefore outside of the bargaining unit.
NDWA participates in the E-Verify program and is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
