Enthusiastic Board Member Sponsoring & Donations

Mineke Foundation works in one of the poorest countries in the world: Liberia. Our foundation has a special history and has both Dutch and Liberian roots. Our work – projects focused on education and entrepreneurship – is made possible thanks to the contributions of (family) funds and private donors.

In the coming years we want to strengthen our financial base, either through donations or sponsorship. In concrete terms, this means increasing the number of sponsors and donors to enable the continued existence and further development of our basic organization in Liberia.

We are looking for a board member / volunteer who wants to take a pioneering role in this.

Tasks:

• Coordinating and hands-on participation in the construction and implementation of the sponsorship & donations component. This means, among other things, that you compose, send and follow up material where necessary.
• Maintaining contacts with individuals and sponsors on behalf of Mineke Foundation
• Contribute to reports to sponsors where necessary

When do you fit well in our team?

If you:

• Have a hands-on attitude
• Are a self-starter & self-employed worker
• Speak Dutch fluently and your English is okay
• You have experience with sponsoring & raising donations
• Good advice, coordination, organization and collaboration
• Interested and able to work effectively in a small remote first organization with big ambitions and a small wallet
• Want to use your skills and experience to make an impact in one of the poorest countries in the world.

Good to know

Mineke Foundation consists of 2 organizations:

• The Liberian local NGO in Liberia that we internally call MF LIB. MF LIB is a fully accredited local NGO in Liberia, as well as a fully accredited vocational school and primary school.
• The Dutch ANBI foundation that we internally call MF NL. MF NL is the support foundation of MF LIB (fundraising, communication etc) and also takes care of the knowledge transfer and development of MF LIB.

The board of MF NL is a cooperative board. This means that you are active as a volunteer with a few extra tasks. Namely: coordination of and coordination with the volunteer(s) in 'your' portfolio and co-responsibility for the further development of our organization.

The board meets twice a year physically somewhere centrally in the Netherlands. Additional digital consultation will take place if necessary. Board and volunteers in the Netherlands also meet twice a year, following the physical board meetings.

There are also 2 moments in the year when MF NL has group meetings via Zoom with MF LIB. In addition, you will have (digital) coordination moments with 'your' volunteer(s) and/or team members in Liberia.

How much time does this take?

We estimate 1-2 days per month.

What do we offer you?

• The opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of children, young people and women in one of the poorest countries in the world
• A pioneering role in the further development and professionalization of a distinguished foundation
• Working with a motivated and committed team
• An international network of professionals

Interested?

We would like to meet you!
