Job Description
Organization Overview
The DC Coalition Against Domestic Violence (DCCADV, The Coalition) is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to creating a community where domestic violence is replaced with human dignity. DCCADV is the only federally recognized domestic violence coalition in the District of Columbia and serves as a resource for the thousands of adults and children experiencing domestic violence each year, as well as the local organizations that serve them. Our fundamental goals are to provide leadership and support, build awareness, and enhance the systemic response for survivors of domestic violence and their children in Washington, DC. As the District is a city made up people from many life experiences, and a city whose population historically has been a majority Black people, DCCADV has a commitment to ensure that our organization operates with values centered in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
Position Summary
To ensure that the Coalition can efficiently and effectively support survivors of domestic violence and the organizations that support them, under the direction of the Executive Director, the Director of Development and Communications will be responsible for managing and overseeing all non-government revenue development and reporting, and communications efforts for the Coalition. Currently, DCCADV is an organization with a $2 million budget and 10 staff members. Responsibilities include oversight of our contracted communications team ensuring streamlined messaging that is centered on the policy issues DCCADV is addressing, resources for survivors, ways for the public to engage in our advocacy efforts, and the impact of our collective work. The person in this position will collaborate with DCCADV staff and serve on the organization’s Leadership Team. The Director of Development and Communications will work with members of the Leadership Team and communications team to compile programmatic and organizational messaging to utilize in fundraising efforts. Responsibilities also include building a more robust individual donor portfolio and growing revenue from corporate partnerships and foundations. We are looking for someone interested in the nuts and bolts of what makes an organization’s fundraising and communication infrastructure function smoothly, and a track record of reliable and detailed work. The ideal candidate for this position enjoys the small stuff, but wants to make a big difference for survivors in DC in partnership with the full DCCADV staff.
