Virtual Opportunity
Are you looking to evolve your purpose in life? Consider joining a board for a non-profit that is driven by a singular mission with a huge impact: The Gift of Adoption Fund seeks to fill the void that separates child from family through adoption completion grants, giving vulnerable children a permanent home and the chance to thrive. Gift of Adoption is a national 501(c)(3) that provides the final funds that prospective adoptive parents need to complete the adoptions of vulnerable children from within the U.S. and from around the world. In these unprecedented times, the need is greater than ever to help connect children with the families that want to provide them with a stable, loving home. At the Gift of Adoption Fund, we believe that every child has the right to a family, and our Board Members are the arms and legs in helping us create this reality. Networking and fundraising are the primary responsibilities of board members. To fundraise, we organize fun (mostly virtual) social events, online campaigns and more. The board currently consists of professionals who volunteer their time and connections to further the cause. You can live anywhere in the state but are expected to participate in monthly calls and, ideally, quarterly meetings. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to completing families' adoptions in your state. We are a team of smart, dedicated (and, we like to think, fun!) people who believe that a loving family is a basic human right. We are looking for Board Members who: - Are passionate about volunteering to help children. - Have creative fundraising ideas and the motivation and social network to make them happen! - Are connected to and/or interested in outreach to the local business community. - Enjoy connecting people and finding partnership opportunities. - Are comfortable reaching out to their network of family and friends about a good cause. - Have strong communication skills, and are highly organized. - Want a volunteer opportunity that makes a permanent difference! We expect that you will: - Help plan and attend fundraising events. - Work with the other board members to collectively raise money to fund adoptions. - Participate in one board call a month. - Attend a quarterly in-person meeting. -Make a personal donation each year that you serve on the board, and meet a fundraising goal. - Help recruit other board members to join the mission. If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk! Reach out to us today with the following information: Why are you interested in the Gift of Adoption? Where in the state are you located? What unique quality could you bring to our organization? And please note that this is a volunteer, un-paid position. Our Board Members typically serve 3-year terms. Reach out to us today to find out how you can make a lifelong impact in the life of a child and a family in PA.

Our mission is simple, yet impactful. We provide adoption assistance grants to complete the adoptions of vulnerable children - giving them permanent families and the chance to thrive. 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 Gift of Adoption Fund is organized into Chapters. Right now we are in 26 (and counting!) states, and we are looking to increase our board membership in Oregon. Our Chapter Board members focus on 4 key areas: Awareness, Fundraising, Events, and Foundations. Opportunity We are looking for Board Members who: - Are passionate about children, family, and adoption. - Are business leaders in their field and connected to large personal and professional networks of philanthropically minded people. - Enjoy outreach, relationship management, development, fundraising, and communications. -Have strengths or an interest in event planning and execution, social media, influencer and foundation outreach and corporate partnerships. - Are looking to leverage their network to create new partnership opportunities and increase the donor base in the state.

This is a non-compensatory, all-volunteer state chapter board role. We ask our Board Members to serve 3-year terms and invite one new board member to the team each year they serve. Our Chapter Board role is impactful. Reach out today to start a conversation about how you can make a difference.
