JOB DESCRIPTION
ABOUT FAITH IN INDIANA (FaithIN)
Faith in Indiana unites tens of thousands of people across faith, race, and place to work together for racial and economic justice in Indiana.
In the ten years since its founding, Faith in Indiana has grown from twenty congregations in a single city to six county chapters that engage 125 congregations and partner organizations.
Faith in Indiana and our chapters are run and led by our grassroots leaders. We center the leadership of Black people, immigrants, Muslims, returning citizens, women, and young people, the drivers of our campaigns for restorative justice, immigrant inclusion, healthcare for all, a caring economy, and freedom to vote.
In addition to believing strongly that power must be shared equitably in our organization and our society, we believe that leaders are developed, not born; and that relationships grounded in trust and vulnerability coupled with radical accountability and direct, courageous communication allow for each of us to bring our full, brilliant selves to the table.
Faith in Indiana understands we need a bigger more powerful social movement ecosystem in Indiana to achieve the change we want. That’s why we’ve helped to incubate a set of new organizations to put more power in the hands of ordinary people, including Act Indiana, a 501(c)4 sister organization, a voter engagement coordination hub, a communications hub, and more.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Faith in Indiana seeks an experienced fundraiser and organizer to build and scale our peer-to-peer donor organizing program.

This is an ideal job for a relentless fundraising guru who is abundance-minded and able to build strong relationships with grassroots leaders and members of the owning class. If you are excited to build new relationships where none exist, thrive in a rapidly paced campaign environment, and passionate about self-funded grassroots movements, please read on.
