Development Coordinator - Seattle, United States - Philanthropy Northwest

Description

The Legal Foundation of Washington (LFW) envisions a society where poverty or race is not an impediment to justice.

We remove barriers to the justice system by funding programs that provide high quality civil legal services to people who experience poverty in Washington State.

Since our creation in 1984, LFW has invested over $200 million in our state's legal aid system.

LFW is an independent nonprofit organization led by a nine-member board of trustees who oversee multiple revenue sources that total over $10 million annually.

LFW seeks a Development Coordinator to support our Campaign for Equal Justice, our annual fund that builds support for our network of legal aid providers, and our long-term Endowment for Equal Justice.

This position coordinates fundraising events and supports the fundraising team with board and donor communications, as well as providing administrative support as needed.

Who We Are

LFW is a proud supporter of the Alliance for Equal Justice, a network of Washington State organizations that collaborate to coordinate strategy and the delivery of civil legal aid to people and communities that experience poverty and injustice.

We are committed to identifying and dismantling all barriers that deny justice and perpetuate poverty and racial inequities.
The LFW board and staff team values communication, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our mission.

We are careful stewards of resources, and we approach our work and discharge our decision-making responsibilities with an ethos of humility and respect.

LFW is committed to becoming an anti-racist organization.

We know that creating fair access to civil justice requires undoing systemic racial oppression and reflect racial justice and inclusion in all of our grantmaking.

We are committed to long-term systemic change and commit more than half of our funding to impact litigation and policy reform that advance rights for people living in poverty.

Internally, we pursue a regular course of learning and education to change and update our thinking and practices in ways that reflect the values of anti-racism.
