Job description

We believe in transforming every purchase into a force for good. Together, we empower communities, uplift causes, and change lives—one micro-donation at a time.

Grateful Giving is a new technology platform that empowers individuals, businesses, and nonprofits to create positive social impact by turning everyday spending into effortless giving.

The Grateful Giving Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are seeking individuals to serve on our National Board of Directors and local Giving Leadership Councils around the country. Because we are a new nonprofit, these are volunteer roles, not paid employment positions.

General attributes:

• Believe in the importance of charitable giving
• Believe in using technology as a force for good
• Willing to give both time and dollars alongside others doing the same to make a significant social impact

Giving Leadership Councils:

• Located in major metro areas in each U.S. state
• Meet quarterly by Zoom
• Each quarter, councils review nonprofit nominees in their area and select a local nonprofit to support
• The selected nonprofits receive a grant from the council and a featured listing in the Grateful Giving software
• Each council member donates personally to the local nonprofit that they and their fellow council members select (similar to a giving circle)
• Time commitment: 2 hours per quarter, total of 8 hours per year
• Financial commitment: donating $100 to $500 per quarter to the local nonprofit chosen by you and your fellow council members, plus donating once per year to Grateful Giving top help with the cost of the program

National Board of Directors:

• Responsible for overall strategy, budget, policies, and governance for the Grateful Giving Foundation
• Meets quarterly by Zoom and once per year in-person (travel required)
• Seeking additional members with leadership experience in technology, business, or social impact ventures
• Time commitment: approximately 50 hours per year (varies depending on committee involvement and fundraising effort)
• Financial commitment: each national board member fulfills a $10,000 annual “give or get” commitment (giving personally and/or fundraising from their network) to grow Grateful Giving’s programs and impact

The Grateful Giving team is remote. Our Board of Directors and Leadership Council members can be located anywhere in the United States. Because we are a new nonprofit, these are volunteer roles, not paid employment positions.
