About the GitLab Foundation

The GitLab Foundation is committed to helping people grow their lifetime earnings through education, training, access to employment, and systems change on a global scale. Our North Star is to maximize increases in lifetime earnings for every dollar we invest, with an ambitious target of generating over $100 in lifetime earnings gains per dollar spent. We focus on supporting individuals earning below a living wage, to enable them to achieve meaningful, sustained improvements in their lives. Our vision is a world in which one million more people can afford a better life.

Building upon our core work of high-impact grantmaking and systems change, in 2025 the GitLab Foundation launched two new strategic initiatives to extend its impact further: 1) an advisory services practice that supports peer foundations in impact modeling and measurement, and 2) a donor engagement strategy designed to attract and mobilize additional values-aligned capital. Together, these ventures position the GitLab Foundation to have a growing influence in the sector. 

The GitLab Foundation is an independent private foundation affiliated with GitLab Inc.

Planet Reimagined

Date Posted: 7/25/2025

About Planet Reimagined: 

Founded by a multi-platinum musician and a UN advocate, Planet Reimagined was built on the belief that big change happens when people act together—and when that action drives shifts in policy and industry. We mobilize fans at concerts to take real-time civic action (35,000+ in 2024 alone), and we help renewable energy companies access public lands once closed to them. From legislative wins to global campaigns, we turn bold ideas into action—and we’re just getting started.

On a mission to deliver fair solutions for people and the planet, we use an innovative action-research method to incubate and scale creative solutions to our most pressing climate problems.

About the Role:

Since hiring our first development staff and implementing core fundraising systems in January 2024, Planet Reimagined has seen extraordinary fundraising growth, increasing grant revenue tenfold in just 18 months.

That kind of leap is rare. It reflects not only the urgency of our mission, but also the trust we’ve earned from catalytic institutional and corporate funders. 

We are now positioned to grow our development team, starting with this role and with immediate plans to bring on additional staff to power this next phase of expansion. Our vision is to build a fully developed, strategic fundraising program—and this role is central to making that vision a reality.

The Major Donor Engagement Manager is a new position within Planet Reimagined. (In fact, it’s so new that it might not end up with that exact job title, but that’s the gist of it).  The Major Donor Engagement Manager will have the opportunity to build our major donor program from the ground up, expanding our capacity to secure major investments from individuals annually. Planet Reimagined’s new Major Gifts leader is set up for success with:

1) an effective senior leadership team, with a high-profile Executive Director who is committed to fundraising, an experienced Managing Director who recognizes and respects the specialized expertise of development professionals, and a pioneering Development Manager who will be a strategic partner and collaborator; and 2) a ring-fenced development budget to ensure that even in a small scrambling start-up situation, the team has staff capacity and research and contact management tools to deliver on ambitious goals.

To help launch our major donor program, we have secured a $1M matching contribution from a committed individual donor. We are excited to work with a passionate climate supporter who is an energetic, creative professional able to harness Planet Reimagined’s assets, and package our impact and potential, to inspire high net worth individuals to invest in our work. 

Duties and Responsibilities will include:

• Build and lead a $1M+ annual major donor program, including prospecting, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of high-net-worth individuals

• Partner with leadership and co-founders to identify prospects and secure high-level contributions, including personalized outreach and strategic support, with tailored engagement plans and updates for top donors

• Advise on donor messaging and organizational positioning for donors 

• Oversee donor events and undertake strategic travel to deepen relationships and build momentum

• Involve program staff to strengthen donor communications and highlight mission impact

• Manage donor data, budgets, income targets, and progress reporting to leadership

• Work closely with our Development Manager to coordinate and strategize around relationship building with individuals working within or on the board of an institutional funding partner who may also be a potential major donor

• Help the organization explore the benefits and challenges of developing a small and mid-size donor program with an eye toward building a pool of major donor prospects

• Help recruit and supervise a development associate and expect to help develop further growth in the development team

• Contribute toward healthy and collaborative work culture in an organization committed to a high degree of collegiality and shared purpose and navigating diverging views productively and respectfully

• Will report to our Managing Director

Required Skills and Experience:

• 5+ years of major gift or similar experience preferred, with extensive experience in direct donor solicitation and donor relations

• Understands and can apply principles of persuasion and motivation when developing donor cultivation strategies, particularly for a policy advocacy organization

• Has made direct asks of at least $50k with repeated success

• Has built long-term relationships with major donors that resulted in increased contributions

• Has used wealth screening and other research tools to qualify prospects

• Has supported organizational leaders to succeed in asking individuals for investment level contributions

• Has translated complex program information—ideally in the climate or environmental advocacy space—into compelling pitches/investment opportunities for high-net-worth individuals in writing and verbally; strong visual communications skills also an advantage

• Is energized by the chance to build something new for a fast-growing, fast-paced, entrepreneurial organization

• Experience with both U.S. and international programs or contexts is a plus

• Experience working with artists, musicians, or other high-profile creators is a plus 

Salary and Benefits:

Salary Range: 120,000 - 130,000

The final offer will consider factors such as the candidate’s location and cost of living as well as experience level.

DC Action

Date Posted: 7/21/2025

About DC Action

DC Action is a nonprofit advocating on behalf of children, young people and their families. Its mission is to use research, data, and a racial equity lens to break down barriers that stand in the way of all kids reaching their full potential. DC Action was formed in 2020 as a merger between two long-standing advocacy nonprofits, DC Action for Children and DC Alliance of Youth Advocates.

DC Action unites all those fighting on behalf of DC’s children and youth to realize a single, shared vision for what it looks like to grow up in the District. While childhood exists on a continuum from birth to adulthood, the systems, programs, and organizations designed to support children and youth are too often fragmented by age.

DC Action is home to DC Kids Count, a partnership with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and a range of coalitions with a collaborative advocacy model that centers the experiences of youth, their families, and community partners. These coalitions represent a range of issues aimed at advancing economic justice and closing racial gaps in child and youth outcomes, including cultivating a generation of empowered, engaged, and economically independent young people, universal access to out-of-school time programs, and support for families with infants and toddlers. 

Together with young people, parents, and community partners, DC Action advocates with one voice for public policies that support kids from early childhood to early adulthood. DC Action works to ensure that young people have access to the housing, health care, learning spaces, jobs, and other support they need and deserve. View DC Action’s Policy Priorities to learn more.

DC Action is committed to being an anti-racist organization and believes all children and youth should have the opportunity to reach their full potential regardless of their race, zip code, or family income. Rooted in addressing structural racism and its impact on children, youth, and families, DC Action’s strengths-based approach honors community members’ knowledge and skills so that those most directly affected by racial and economic inequity design the solutions they need.

The Communications Network

Date Posted: 7/16/2025

Description:

We’re looking for a highly-organized, resourceful, curious, passionate “events person” to join our team and support the nitty gritty planning and execution of events of all shapes and sizes — from multi-day conferences to summits, salons, board meetings, team retreats, virtual gatherings and more.  Someone whose happy place is tracking the process and sweating each and every detail as events come together from idea to reality. Who believes networks matter and that bringing people together is a science and an art that takes a lot of pre-planning and organization! As part of the mighty Communications Network HQ team you’ll be helping some of the world’s most influential foundations and nonprofits improve their communications work and increase their impact as you support and enhance The Network’s community-building work. 

Put simply, you’re a good fit for this job if you’re a doer, a resourceful and creative problem-solver, a stickler for organization (your lists have lists), and you truly love living in the crucial details that bring events to life online and IRL. If you’re the kind of person who lives for checklists, can juggle multiple moving parts with grace, and gets satisfaction from making sure no detail slips through the cracks, this role is for you.

About The Communications Network: 

Founded over 45 years ago, The Communications Network connects, gathers, and informs leaders from the most influential foundations, nonprofits, and social sector consultancies across the globe.  

We are a vibrant, diverse, and dedicated community of 3,000 communicators, storytellers, strategists, designers, researchers, producers, and community-builders.

Driven by our core values of community, learning, and leadership, The Network brings together social sector leaders to solve complex problems, while providing them with insights, ideas, innovations, and techniques to help them grow, thrive, and shape the future. 

Our small but mighty team works remotely from across the U.S. Our culture is awesome: warm, fun, curious, friendly, and casual. Our work style is creative, flexible, and outcome-oriented. We stay on track through video check-in meetings, Slack, and occasional IRL team meetings/retreats. We’re an innovative, learning-oriented organization that values candid feedback, open conversations, having fun, and bringing a quality GIF game. We’re a busy bunch and we need the help of a smart, enthusiastic, organized go-getter. 

Position Summary:

This full-time position is an integral member of The Communications Network’s remote/DC-based team and reports to the VP of  Events and Community.   

What You Will Do: 

This role is all about making sure events, gatherings, and meetings run smoothly — before, during, and after. Your work will support leadership’s vision and you’ll be trusted with a variety of administrative and logistical responsibilities, including:

• Event Admin Support: Managing spreadsheets (guest lists, budgets, runs-of-show), tracking expenses, and keeping records organized. Scheduling and confirming internal and external meetings. 

• Vendor Coordination: Research, vet, and manage communications with venues, caterers, A/V teams, transportation providers, and other vendors. Request proposals, compare options, and track contracts and deliverables.

• Speaker & Participant Communications: Draft outreach pitches, event invitations, confirmation emails, prep materials, and logistical details. Maintain clean and accurate contact lists. Research contacts, send, follow up, and track correspondence. 

• Event Logistics & Planning: Update runs-of-show, draft timelines and travel itineraries, handle registration and RSVPs, coordinate shipments, and manage supplies.

• Payment Processing & Budget Tracking: Submit invoices, track payments, and help manage event-related invoices. Submit expense reports. Process payments and reimbursements accurately and on time.

• Event Planning Research: Support site selection, travel logistics, and speaker or venue research — you’ll be asked to do a lot of googling and researching of options.

• Meeting Coordination and Prep: Schedule and coordinate calls and meetings (both internal and external), create agendas, take notes, send reminders, send follow up, and keep everyone aligned and on track.

• Event Follow-Up: Supporting post-event wrap-up tasks like surveys and photo sorting.

• Inbox + Prioritization Support: You’ll monitor and manage incoming emails, flag what’s urgent, handle what you can, and keep things moving. 

• General Problem-Solving & Admin Support: When something pops up unexpectedly (because it always does), you fix it. You fill gaps and take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience:

Mindsets Needed

The job is not just about what you will do, but also how you will approach the work. 

These are the mindsets we expect you to show up with daily: 

• Logistics Lover + Systems Thinker
  You thrive on organizing chaos. You think in steps, timelines, and workflows — and you can spot potential roadblocks before they happen.

• Calm Under Pressure
  You stay composed, cool-headed, and effective even when timelines are tight, plans shift, or pressure is high. You don’t create more stress — you solve it.

• “No Job Too Big, No Task Too Small” Attitude
  You’re willing to do whatever it takes — stuffing gift bags, hauling boxes, fixing signage, updating the spreadsheet again — all in the name of a smooth, successful event.

• Anticipatory Thinking
  You don’t wait to be told what’s next. You’re always a step ahead, asking “What might we be forgetting?” and planning for it.

• Clear + Empathetic Communicator
  You communicate with clarity, kindness, and professionalism — with teammates, vendors, speakers, and guests alike.

• Flexible and Adaptable
  You can change directions quickly without resistance or frustration — taking updates or feedback with limited back-and-forth. Plans shift — you pivot, stay positive, and get it done. You make things happen — smoothly, efficiently, and without drama.

• Detail-Obsessed
  You notice what others don’t — the crooked tablecloth, the typo in the slide deck, the missing vegan entrée — because details create the experience.

• Team-Oriented + Service-Driven
  You take pride in supporting others and you go the extra mile to make work easier for your teammates. You enjoy working collaboratively and you’re happy to pitch in, support others, and help the whole team succeed. You think “we” is more than “me.”

• Sense of Urgency + Fast Execution
  You work with pace and purpose. You meet tight timelines, make quick decisions, and respond promptly when the pressure is on.

• Resourceful Problem-Solver
  You don’t just flag problems — you fix them. You’re creative, practical, and relentless in finding solutions with whatever resources are available.

Who You Are & Keys to Success (the must-haves)

• Must have 2-5 years of event planning experience.  

• Ability to work 40 hours a week (roughly 9:30-5:30pm Eastern Time) with occasional travel required as well as flexibility for on site, in-person event management (which may include occasional nights and weekends).

• You must be able to stand, walk, and be physically active for extended periods of time during event days.

• A calm, proactive approach when juggling multiple projects at once.

• Clear verbal and written communications skills — you’ll need to be able to quickly write clear, persuasive, messages to speakers, vendors, and partners.

• A deep love of logistics, checklists, and timelines. You will need to be highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented, as well as have strong critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills. 

• An energetic, curious, positive, flexible, fun, and collaborative disposition. This is the most important qualification! 

Other information:

The Network offers terrific benefits, a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow, and a competitive total compensation package.

What’s the culture like? 

Of course we’re going to say it’s innovative and awesome. Here’s why we aren’t kidding: You’ll wake up every day and help amazing people who are working to eradicate disease, lift up the arts, improve education, halt climate change, and advance social justice do their work better. 

Total Compensation:

A salary range of $45,000 to $50,000 depending on experience plus benefits including 401k with 5% salary match, health, dental, disability and life insurance, 15 days paid time off + Summer Fridays + we close the office the week between Christmas and New Years, as well support for professional development. 

How to apply:

To apply, email Carrie Clyne at cclyne@comnetwork.org and include “Events Coordinator” in the subject line. Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.  

Please include your resume and a blurb about a recent event you planned. No stodgy/formal cover letter required, but we do want to hear in your own words why you’re interested in The Communications Network, why you think you’re a good fit for this role, and what you love about event planning.

Institute for Citizens & Scholars

Date Posted: 7/16/2025

Organization Overview

As America approaches its 250th birthday, growing polarization threatens our national unity, democracy, and security. We can’t afford to wait—we must address this divisiveness now. To chart a peaceful path forward, we need citizens who are well-informed, productively engaged, and committed to democracy. Today’s 14-24-year-olds urgently need the civic knowledge and skills to solve the complex challenges our country faces. Yet, the institutions where they learn, work, and live are not fully equipped to provide them with the tools they need to become effective, collaborative citizens.

The mission of the Institute for Citizens & Scholars (“Citizens & Scholars”) is to cultivate talent, ideas, and networks that develop young people as effective, lifelong citizens. Our vision is a strong American democracy and a flourishing civil society where all people can thrive. We collaborate with leaders in higher education, business, and philanthropy to transform colleges, workplaces, and communities into hubs for civic development. In each of these spaces, we develop and implement programs that equip young people with the civic skills needed to address the divisive issues facing our country. Our offerings include codesigned programs, digital products, convenings, trainings, fellowships, and coalition networks – all with clear success metrics to measure real progress.

For the past 80 years, Citizens & Scholars has prepared leaders and engaged networks of people and organizations to meet urgent education challenges, helping to shape an informed, productively engaged, and committed citizenry. Formerly the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, we have forged stronger connections between K–12 and higher education and provided early funding for the work of 16 Nobel Laureates, 21 Pulitzer Prize winners, 27 Presidential and National Medalists, 44 MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipients, and more than 100 college presidents. Today, under the leadership of its President, Rajiv Vinnakota, Citizens & Scholars is uniting the organization's legacy with a commitment to launch new civic learning ventures in and beyond education, building unlikely alliances to reimagine and recenter citizen development for young people.
