New Feature: Job Postings
When I first started New Voices of Philanthropy, one of the purposes was to open up the often times closed philanthropy sector to other new voices. Young people and people of color have often been excluded from the worlds of wealth and “charity” but philanthropy makes many decisions about how wealth is redistributed in our communities through grantmaking. So excluding those groups from the redistribution or philanthropic process, as staff and trustees, means that they are excluded twice.
I’ll be posting foundation job and trustee openings that I learn about through my professional networks or that you send to me at tristaharris at gmail dot com. I know that there are websites like the Chronicle of Philanthropy have their own job postings but my take on these types of boards is that foundations only post their senior level positions there and rely on word of mouth and local postings for entry and mid level positions.
As with all new features this is a work in progress so let me know what you think.

Very cool, Trista. I’m doing the same thing on Tactical Philanthropy shortly. You beat me to the punch! But seriously, I think that blogs can be a great micro-market for highly targeted job listings.

Great idea Trista! I am just beginning my journey into the field of grant making and, being a minority, I too have noticed there is a dearth of minorities in programming positions not to mention the scarcity of program officer positions. But I won’t let that stop me! I applaud your efforts and I love your blog!

Trista,
I have a job board on my blog, http://asianamericanphilanthropy.com.
It is a seamless and free service.
Let me know if you want me to help you incorporate one.
BTW – I added you to my blogroll.
