Fundraising Support and Leadership

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Literacy Partners -- Menlo Park is looking for volunteers to provide hands-on leadership of our fundraising program. We are small but have distributed more than $100,000 since our new nonprofit was established in 2021. The position(s) will require fundraising experience with the ability to work with colleagues to develop the organization's fundraising program, either as a board member or as a volunteer comfortable with working with fellow professionals on the board. Experience raising funds in the Mid-Peninsula San Francisco Bay Area is desirable, but a professional looking to become more involved in the local community with general fundraising experience would be welcome. The organization raises money for a variety of literacy programs in the local community. The position is largely virtual but will require Zoom and in the future live meetings at fixed times for the team.

Board Membership and Leadership

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Literacy Partners -- Menlo Park is looking for hands-on board members to help direct and implement the philanthropic mission of the nonprofit and to identify and cultivate potential donors. We offer directed financial support and leadership to partner organizations that provide literacy enhancements in the local community. Applicants should be willing to commit approximately 3 to 8 hours monthly to participate in monthly meetings, serve on committees/work teams. Volunteers should have a mix of grassroots fundraising experience and/or nonprofit management, and/or knowledge of local literacy needs. Board members should be able to understand (or quickly learn) local fundraising needs and be able to communicate that to potential donors and to discuss such needs with potential recipients. We would be interested in talking with persons experienced in fundraising or nonprofit administration who are relocating to the greater Menlo Park community. Board members must be comfortable with advising and helping to frame programs and with performing basic tasks required by a small organization with no paid staff.
