Director of Advancement

A Faith That Does Justice (AFTDJ) is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action. 

The Director of Advancement is responsible for formulating and executing the strategy that will enable AFTDJ to fulfill its mission and to achieve its aspiration. Promoting AFTDJ to its stakeholders including followers, volunteers, donors, funders and other social service organizations is the essence of the Director of Advancement’s role. The increasing reach of AFTDJ and its growing funds from philanthropy and grants are the principal measures of success of the Director of Advancement’s efforts. 

The Director of Advancement will work closely with the AFTDJ Director of Operations, the Founder and Executive Director, the Director of Community Engagement and the Public Relations Consultant in carrying out her responsibilities. The Director of Advancement will provide leadership and oversight to other AFTDJ volunteers engaged in advancement efforts.
