Pennsylvania Chapter Board Member opportunity

Save to Favorites

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!
