We are looking for a volunteer to lead our crowdfunding campaigns and help us raise funds for education, women’s entrepreneurship and microloans in Liberia.
Do you enjoy turning stories into action and action into results? Are you looking for a hands-on way to support education, women’s entrepreneurship and microloans in one of the poorest countries in the world? Then this might be a great match.
We’re looking for a self-starting, results-oriented volunteer to help us raise funds through crowdfunding. Whether it’s for scholarships, school upgrades or microloans for women — there are powerful stories to tell and concrete goals to achieve. We just need the right person to drive the campaigns!
What You’ll Do
- Identify relevant crowdfunding platforms (e.g. GlobalGiving, GoFundMe, Benevity, Pifworld, WhyDonate) and match them to suitable campaigns
- Research similar campaigns for best practices and inspiration
- Draft and publish compelling campaign pages (copywriting and basic layout)
- Coordinate with our team in Liberia to gather stories, photos or videos
- Manage each campaign from start to finish: planning, publishing, monitoring, engaging with donors, and closing
- Respond to platform queries or donor messages as needed
- Suggest simple ways to promote the campaigns through our network, your own, or via partners
Who We’re Looking For
You are:
- A proactive, independent doer who gets things done without hand-holding
- Someone who enjoys writing, storytelling and practical problem-solving
- Comfortable reaching out to others and working with a remote team (Liberia + NL)
- Familiar with crowdfunding platforms or willing to figure them out quickly
- Genuinely interested in community-driven change and grassroots impact
Experience in fundraising, campaign management, or digital outreach is helpful, but not required.
What We Offer
- A meaningful volunteer role with tangible results
- Flexibility to plan and shape campaigns your way
- Support from our board chair where needed
- Direct access to our Liberia-based team for content and input
- The chance to build your portfolio with real-world experience in global development
You’ll play a key role in helping us grow, one campaign at a time.
Interested?
Send a short message to info@minekefoundation.org telling us:
- Why this role appeals to you
- Any relevant experience (crowdfunding, fundraising, writing, campaigning)
- And if you have it, a link to any campaign or cause you’ve supported
We’re a small team that works with heart and integrity. If that speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you!

About Mineke Foundation
Mineke Foundation works in Liberia. Our goal is to help people - especially young people and women - to become economically self-reliant. We focus on education and entrepreneurship. We have three projects:
== The Damiefa School offers affordable private education from kindergarten through the first three years of high school. We use the national Liberian curriculum, supplemented with an Art Education program developed by Dutch/American teachers and a Reading Comprehension program specifically developed for Liberia by American teachers. Our ambition is to grow the school into a full-fledged high school.
== Our Women’s Club offers an entrepreneurship program and a social education program. The entrepreneurship program includes short vocational courses, business training & coaching, and microloans. The educational program offers monthly workshops on topics such as (reproductive) health, women’s rights, leadership and sexual violence against women. There is also a savings club with peer-to-peer lending.
== The Resource Center is a multifunctional space with a small library/computer room where employability training for young people is also given. Before Covid, we also offered digital skills training to surrounding schools and (young) adults in the area. We will offer this again in due course.

Mineke Foundation is an award-winning foundation known for its quality and professionalism. We are an accredited local Liberian NGO, vocational school and private school. A small, committed and motivated local team carries out our projects in Liberia.
The Dutch foundation consists of international volunteers and supports our team in Liberia, including fundraising, social media & communication and knowledge transfer. Both teams work closely together.
Our fun and enthusiastic volunteers will make you feel at home quickly! We all work from home and have regular Zoom calls, also with our team in Liberia. Volunteers living in the Netherlands usually meet twice a year. Good to know: we speak both Dutch and English, but usually speak English during calls & meetings.
Mineke Foundation was founded in 2009 by Tonia Dabwe to build on the work her parents started in Liberia in the late 1960s. The foundation is named after Tonia's Dutch mother who has been missing since the civil war in Liberia.
