Fellow Opportunity
Marketing & Communications Fellow
Supports GFC communications, outreach, content coordination, and mission-aligned storytelling.
The opportunity
Giving Foundation for Children Inc. is a child-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose long-term Programs include Books & Literacy, Special Needs Awareness, Community Outreach, Nonprofit & Community Partnerships, and Volunteer & Fellowship Engagement. A Marketing & Communications Fellow may help explain this work clearly and consistently to different audiences.
What you'll work on
- Draft website, Campaign, social, email, and outreach messaging
- Support communications planning and adapt messages for specific audiences and channels
- Organize source material and references so public copy remains accurate and supportable
- Help maintain a consistent, warm, child-focused GFC voice
- Revise public-facing work in response to GFC review before publication
Example projects
Depending on current GFC priorities, examples could include:
- Drafting website or Campaign messaging from approved source material
- Preparing a communications plan and channel-specific drafts for an Initiative
- Organizing reusable messaging, references, and review notes for future outreach
What we're looking for
A dependable, relatively independent contributor with strong writing, sound judgment, careful source use, and reliable follow-through. The ability to accept editorial review, learn GFC's voice, and adapt a message for different audiences matters more than a specific degree.
What you'll learn
You'll have opportunities to gain experience with nonprofit communications planning, audience-specific writing, source organization, editorial review, and consistent messaging across Programs, Initiatives, and Campaigns.
