Creative, Passionate Board Member Interested In Grant Writing/Fundraising

Save to Favorites

We are an organization dedicated to assisting youth that have been affected by the foster care system. We raise money to give grants to these youth for education and housing. Our organization works to provide grants to emancipating foster youth seeking to attain higher education. To date, we have given out over $300,000 in grants. We are looking for a compassionate person that is interested in serving as a grant writer and/or fundraising board member; or a board member interested in bringing creative energy to the board engaging current and new donors. This position takes about 10 hours per month. Must be available for our board meeting once per quarter (currently), and able to work independently via email frequently.

Given the nature of our board and how things are shifted within the last 2 years, we currently meet remotely. We are in the process of "board maintenance" and "board re-building", so we are accepting applications from individuals with previous Board of Directors experience only.

Mission: We believe young adults transitioning from foster care in San Francisco deserve to have the financial and emotional resources they need to build stability and success in their lives. Foster Youth Rising (formerly Friends of SF ILSP) fills gaps in the resources available to these young adults by providing grants and other opportunities in a manner that acknowledges their potential and their dignity.
