Communications and Development Coordinator

Hasidah’s mission is to build awareness in the Jewish community about infertility, provide emotional and spiritual support resources, and provide financial assistance for treatment. Our ultimate goal is to help build Jewish families. Guiding both the work we do and how we do it are the following values:
• Family (Mishpacha) – We believe that family is the core source of strength for Jewish community and life.
• Loving-kindness (Hesed) – Treating our clients, partners, donors, and colleagues with care, compassion, and respect reflects our belief in the infinite value of every person.
• Collaboration – We believe success for our clients is achieved through partnerships, alliances, support networks, and teamwork.
Hasidah has helped over twenty five babies into this world, with over ten more families in the making. We have served hundreds of clients for various support, provided almost two hundred rabbis with spiritual resources and training, and connected with scores of organizations for awareness and partnerships. Hasidah runs several monthly support programs, semi-annual IVF grant cycles, awareness campaigns, and several community programs each year. We are a small organization with a dedicated staff that is flexible and supportive of each other.
The Communications and Development Coordinator has an important role in furthering Hasidah’s mission. The employee will work closely with the CEO and implement Hasidah’s outreach and development efforts. The work will focus on supporting the donor relationship process of research, cultivate, asking, and stewardship and leading our outward facing communications such as newsletters, social media and the website. Candidate must be a strong multi-tasker, have outstanding communication, interpersonal, and research skills, work well under limited supervision and be extremely organized. Candidate also needs to be comfortable reaching out and building relationships with people who are in the family planning and child-having stage of their lives. Prior experience in a nonprofit fundraising and/or marketing position is preferred. This position offers exceptional opportunity for growth for the right candidate interested in meaningful work.
