Nonprofit Strategy & Operations Fellow

The opportunity

Giving Foundation for Children Inc. (GFC) is a child-focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit. This Fellow may help strengthen the operating systems, organizational structure, and internal coordination that support GFC's long-term Programs and the Initiatives and Campaigns within them.

What you'll work on

• Document and improve internal processes, standard operating procedures, and checklists
• Help clarify organizational structure, responsibilities, and coordination across Programs and Initiatives
• Identify gaps, risks, duplicated effort, and opportunities for process improvement
• Maintain clear operating references and support consistent internal follow-through

Example projects

Depending on current GFC priorities, examples could include:

• Drafting or refining standard operating procedures and checklists for a Program area
• Mapping an internal process and recommending practical improvements
• Reviewing responsibilities or workflows to identify gaps, risks, or duplicated effort

What we're looking for

A dependable, relatively independent contributor who is comfortable with ambiguity and able to turn scattered information into practical, repeatable systems. Strong writing, judgment, organization, follow-through, and willingness to learn matter more than a specific credential.

What you'll learn

You'll have opportunities to gain experience with nonprofit operating systems, process improvement, organizational planning, and internal coordination across Programs, Initiatives, and Campaigns.
