Position Overview
For the full job description: https://wpfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DPIPF-Program-Associate-Job-Description_.pdf
Wellspring seeks a Program Associate to join its Donor Philanthropic Initiatives and President’s Fund team (DPIPF). The DPIPF program supports donor initiatives which are highly aligned with WPF’s thematic program areas, and the President’s Fund, a discretionary portfolio managed under the leadership of Wellspring’s President and direction of the Program Director, and is intended to support initiatives that broadly advance our mission.
The Program Associate reports to the Program Director and works collaboratively with the Program Officers, Administrative Assistant, Grants Management team, and other Wellspring staff. Day-to-day, the Program Associate contributes to the following key priorities:
• Grants Process Coordination
• Program
• Communications and Research
This is an incredible opportunity for a social justice generalist – someone with a breadth of knowledge in a range of areas, rather than a concentration on only one content area – to leverage their knowledge toward a donor driven portfolio and a collaborative team.
