Overview
Gift of Adoption Fund, a 501c3 national charity, has given away nearly $10MM to complete over 4000 adoptions in a non-discriminatory manner. The Gift of Adoption Fund seeks to fill the void that separates a child from family through adoption completion grants, giving vulnerable children a permanent home and the chance to thrive. We do this-- in large part -- through our extensive Chapter network. In 25 states (and counting), the Gift of Adoption Fund seeks business and community leaders to join Chapter teams and grow our donor base through networking, awareness, and leveraging relationships and partnership in specific local markets. No other charitable initiative delivers the transformational impact of adoption for such a small investment -- not just for the child served, but for generations following.

The goal of each Chapter’s all-volunteer board is to raise enough funds to help complete all adoption grant requests. 100% of the money raised by the chapter is directed to uniting children with forever families in the area.

What you will do

• Create relationships with individuals, companies, nonprofits, groups, organizations and partnerships in order to garner awareness for our cause and build our donor base.
• Engage community and foundation prospects and partners to generate awareness and funds.
• Partner with other team members to create high-impact events for members and guests to celebrate children, families served, and the impact made.
• Create and implement other fundraising activities that are important to you and your local market.

What we are looking for

• Business and community leaders that are passionate about children, family, and adoption.
• People that are leaders in their field and connected to large personal and professional networks of philanthropically minded people.
• Individuals who enjoy outreach, relationship management, development, fundraising, and communications.
• Purpose-driven people that are looking to leverage their network to create new partnership opportunities and increase the donor base of the Fund.

Details

• Enjoy being agents for change in the community and the world.
• Get to help more children find their way to permanent, loving homes.
• Make a personal gift, hit a fundraising goal, and serve a 3-year term.
