Democracy Alliance - Democracy Takes Work Initiative Director
Description:
Democracy Takes Work Initiative Director Summary We are in a historic moment for workers’ rights, with public support for unions at its highest point in decades, a deeply pro-labor administration in office, and workers organizing at companies big and small. This is also a historic moment for our country, as growing authoritarianism threatens our core democratic principles. Research and history show that organized workers are a powerful counterforce to authoritarian leaders, but funders have not invested heavily at the intersection of labor and democracy. There is untapped opportunity for philanthropy—especially individual funders and political funders—to leverage the momentum and excitement of this worker power moment to dramatically expand workplace democracy, increase civic participation, drive forward a progressive agenda, and move towards the just, feminist, multiracial democracy that our country needs. The Democracy Alliance seeks to hire a Director for the Democracy Takes Work initiative to lead fundraising and donor education to meet this moment, with a goal of building support for worker organizing within the donor class and securing new resources for a portfolio of Democracy Takes Work investment recommendations. The successful candidate for this role will be an experienced fundraiser or donor organizer who is also entrepreneurial, collaborative, and eager to create something new in partnership with leaders from across philanthropy—a creative community-builder who believes passionately that this moment needs all of us to be “all in.” Scope of work Resource development: Organize Democracy Takes Work inaugural partners to build prospect list; add to list based on own knowledge of funders in this area Develop and implement fundraising strategy for prospects, engaging directly in outreach and solicitation in coordination with Democracy Takes Work inaugural partners and DA staff By December 2024, raise significant new funding commitments to organizations/ worker organizing campaigns included in the Democracy Takes Work investment recommendation portfolio Recruit new DA partners who can act as peer champions for this work within the DA community Donor organizing and education: Collaborate with DA program and events staff in support of an annual program of in person events, virtual events, written communications, and other materials to engage and educate funders (especially individual and c4 funders) about the role of worker organizing in strengthening democracy.
