JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

United States Social Forum 2010 Development Coordinator'''

The US Social Forum is a movement-building process to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sectoral, inter-generational, diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and changes history. It will be happening June 22-26, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan. The USSF is a large, mostly volunteer effort with stakeholders all across the country and several moving parts. Planning for the USSF is being done by the National Planning Committee and an Organizing Committee made up of the co-chairs of the different committees. The Development Coordinator will report to the co-chairs of the Resource Working Group.

The USSF is funded by foundation grants, individual monetary and in-kind donations, organizational monetary and in-kind donations, registration fees, and product sales. As a movement-building process, it is one of our key values that the fundraising also follows movement-building principles. This includes building a broad base of donors from all income levels and mobilizing a broad team to engage in fundraising.

We are seeking a temporary, contract Development Coordinator to set up the systems and processes needed for a robust grassroots fundraising program including building an individual donor base, online fundraising and materials sales. The Development Coordinator will work under the guidance of and have the support of the Resource Working Group. Some of this process may be coordinated with other committees as needed.

Job Responsibilities include:
Develop and oversee fundraising infrastructure, including a donor database, donor tracking, acknowledgements, online and print materials, working with our fiscal sponsor, and the creation of reports
Communicate regularly with the Resource Working Group on progress and planning for next steps, including how to proceed when the contract is over
Coordinate multiple fundraising efforts and strategies with different volunteers
Monitor the allocation of resources according to the program budget and assist in preparing a timeline of when income goals need to be reached
Willingness to travel, work flexible hours, and be responsive as necessary

Qualifications:
A minimum of 3 years of work experience in fundraising, especially individual donor and grassroots fundraising
Experience in creating the infrastructure needed for a strong development program
Strong writing skills and communication skills
Familiarity with and respect for the USSF, its goals, and process
Connected to networks of progressive fundraisers, organizations, and movements
Ability to meet deadlines, be organized, be flexible, pay attention to detail, and work from home
Ability to take initiative, develop new processes, and work alone and as part of a team

This is a temporary, contract position. The candidate will work full-time for 3 months, roughly September-November 2009. The candidate will work from home, any location is fine. Compensation is $20/hour.

Please apply no later than Monday, August 31st, 2009. Email a cover letter, resume, and 3 references to michael@ggjalliance.org

People of color are strongly encouraged to apply.

== Why We Fund the U.S. Social Forum Process ==

We are funders who care about and support different issues in various places, and share a common belief in the power of social movements to help bring about transformative change. We are therefore enthusiastic funders of the United States Social Forum process, which brought together 11,000 activists in Atlanta in 2007. In June 2010, more than twice as many are expected at the next US Social Forum in Detroit. Here is why we support this process:

* It is at the heart of building a unified, powerful progressive movement in the United States -- one of the imperatives of our times. We are in a new moment, fraught with economic and ecological challenge as well as great political possibility. We need intentional mobilization across movements to bend our world toward justice, fairness and sustainability.

* It builds on the success of the Atlanta USSF and on the energy and hope of the World Social Forum that “Another World Is Possible.” In Atlanta, national networks were launched, including the Right to the City Alliance and the National Alliance of Domestic Workers who are now putting forward creative platforms for national solutions formed from the base. Thousands of organizers and activists met, networked and went home energized and connected.

* It is led by the grassroots, where those most affected by historical injustice and current crises develop leadership, build trust and relationships with each other to find pathways to change, and take new energy to their work at home. The 40-plus USSF National Planning Committee members come from social justice organizations representing diverse communities. The goal is to raise 50% of the budget from grassroots donations and attendance fees.

* Youth are in force and their leadership is nurtured to harness their vision and their energy. From the freedom rides that brought busloads to Atlanta to energizing cross-movement sessions, more than 20% of Atlanta participants were high school or college age. Intentional outreach for Detroit promises the same for a generation central to creating our future.

* It is a unique space for honest, open dialogue and learning across divides of race, class, place and issues. The USSF provides a safe space for groups to celebrate connections and grapple with differences. Because no positions are taken in the Forum’s name, it welcomes all to engage in the healthy political struggle needed to foster a 21st Century national agenda.

* It aims for a deep and engaged political practice. Linking across local, regional and global issues, the USSF frame fosters self-reflection on our world view and dynamic critique of what drives our global economic and political systems that affect us all.

* It connects US movements with global movements, bringing the energy and wisdom of global social change makers to the US. Sixty-eight countries were represented in Atlanta with a focus on connecting global organizers and perspectives to infuse the USSF as part of an international movement building process.

We invite you to join us and other colleagues in supporting the USSF and in connecting your grantees with this powerful movement. There are many ways to support the forum, and we would be happy to share more information.

== Check in ==

Robby waiting for the plumber.
Jeff getting excited
Michael getting excited
Genaro excited - hot in San Antonio. New groups coming onto the NPC
Robby - looking forward to no plumbing issues at USSF - convening in Atlanta about USSF. Youth are pumped up about USSF. Board member now on NPC. Also talking with GGJ about how to help provide leadership.
Sarah - edge of the sense of excitement - the convergence - what does peoples' personal activism mean within a movement?
Millie - also excited. Going to Highlander Homecoming next week.
Updates on strategy
USSF just sent proposal to Akonadi for $25k. Contacted Project South for deadline tomorrow. Also submitting proposal for work brigade to Detroit in October and the spring.
Resource WG - have a committee that is meeting. Have fundraising plan. Want to maintain principle of movement ownership so that no more than 50% of funding is from foundations.
Highlights (see below)
Should preface budget talking about the budget covering activities before, during and after. Talk about it as the movement building process. Highlight the activities that are not just the core costs.

Should also review the chart of areas where funders and donors can support. Stephanie willing to work on that when she gets back from vacation in 2 weeks.

Tides Center approved fiscal sponsor application. We will be transferring infrastructure this month. We'll invite Cathy Lerza (Tides contact) to participate on these calls.

Should we invite the entire F/M group to be on these calls or have separate, larger learning calls? Want folks who are already engaged and have commitment to USSF.

We can also do monthly briefings for funders who are supporting the USSF.
