About Us

WeVote is a nonpartisan get-out-the-vote nonprofit startup and a celebrated Fast Forward nonprofit technology grantee. WeVote is a movement of over 140 passionate volunteers who are building open-source mobile technologies that touch and mobilize millions of voters on Election Day. We observe that many voters are busy, distracted, and impatient. We have a goal of providing a complete voting experience in 8 minutes, including the download of our app ("WeVote Ballot Guide, @WeVote"). More information is at https : / / WeVote.US.

Reporting to the Co-Executive Directors (ED) you will be responsible for WeVote's fundraising in one focus area (Grants, Individual Giving, Data Management, Sustainer Program). Operational responsibility will be shared with the other existing senior leaders at WeVote, including a dedicated Chief of Staff. You will need to develop deep knowledge of the field, core programs, operations, and business plans. This is a volunteer position (WeVote is 100% volunteer) and we expect this position will require ~8 hours per week - much of this time will be during "work hours."
