Fundraising And Development Board Member

Saidiana is a Minnesota-based nonprofit operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Saidiana’s mission is to empower Congolese women to create a better future for themselves and their families by providing resources to support their business ventures. This mission is accomplished in two ways: by providing cash grants to collectives of women to fund startups and expansions of micro-businesses and by training women in trades and basic business skills and providing support to them in business startups.

All Board Members participate in monthly board meetings, leverage their networks on behalf of Saidiana for partnering, and perform work in areas such as fundraising, event planning, communications, and general management. This Board Member will also take the lead on developing our fundraising strategy and meeting with current and prospective donors. This is a volunteer position and candidates need to be prepared to commit 10-20 hours per month to the role.
