The Educational Video Center (www.evc.org) is seeking an exceptional candidate to join our team as EVC’s first Associate Director of Development at this time of strategic growth. EVC is an award-winning non-profit youth media arts and social justice organization dedicated to teaching documentary video as a means to develop the artistic, critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change.

EVC challenges structural inequities and harmful narratives that disadvantage young people of color in education, careers, and life. We do this by teaching documentary filmmaking to help young people thrive as learners, artists and social justice leaders; building the capacity of teachers and public schools to create youth-centered, culturally responsive classrooms; mobilizing youth-produced media to inspire action; and disrupting systems that harm BIPOC youth, their communities, and the world.

The Associate Director of Development’s primary focus will be proposal and report writing, prospecting and research of funding opportunities, cultivation of new and existing funding relationships, liaising with EVC’s programs teams and other departments to understand needs and programming, and effectively and compellingly communicating EVC’s mission, programming, accomplishments, and needs to external audiences in both verbal and written form. Extensive grant writing experience is required; communications experience is a plus.

In collaboration with the Executive Director, the Associate Director will develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising strategy to ensure that EVC’s revenue meets its annual funding objectives and broadens its donor base through foundation and government grant writing, corporate giving, individual and major donor recruitment and retention, digital fundraising, and in-person and virtual events planning. In addition to opportunities to grow technical and non-technical skills, the Associate Director will be positioned to work closely with EVC leadership in planning for the sustainability and growth of EVC’s work to develop the artistic, critical literacy, and career skills of young people, while nurturing their idealism and commitment to social change.

Other responsibilities as assigned.

The position will be compensated at a full time rate with benefits in the range of $75,000 - $85,000 commensurate with experience, and will be supervised by EVC’s Executive Director.

This position is eligible for vacation, sick days, and organizational holidays with health and dental insurance, commuter benefits, and more.

Location:This is a hybrid position that will work in-person and remotely as determined in collaboration with supervisor.

Please submit your resume, writing sample, and a thoughtful cover letter detailing how your experiences match the responsibilities of the position, and how you heard about this position, to jobs@evc.org. Please include the title of the position in the subject line. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis and handled with confidentiality.
