WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY
Purpose. You’ll be doing rewarding work that supports and empowers girls.
Community. Be a part of an amazing team (staff and supporters!) who are passionate about our mission.
Work you’ll love. A creative and collaborative environment where we value your unique skills and insights.
Our impact is growing. VOW for Girls believes that celebrations of love can change the world, and you can be part of the growing team making that happen.
Totally remote — work from anywhere in the United States.
WHO WE ARE
VOW for Girls believes that celebrations of love – weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and more – can be a catalyst for supporting girls whose futures, educations, and choices are at risk. This year alone, more than 12 million girls are at risk of child marriage, threatening their ability to own their futures. We invite individuals, couples, event professionals, brand leaders, and others to invest in the power, voice, and choice of girls everywhere. In doing so, we’re bringing much-needed funding and resources to effective yet underfunded community programs around the world that are in need of investment to engage young girls, helping them to stay in school, avoid child marriage, and have opportunities to thrive. VOW for Girls was founded in late 2018 by global human rights activist Mabel van Oranje and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker.

The Vice President (VP) of Fundraising will develop a vision and provide leadership for organization-wide activities and strategies focused on generating, maintaining, and increasing revenue.

WHO WE ARE
