ABOUT THE PROTECTING IMMIGRANT FAMILIES (PIF) COALITION

The Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition (PIF) brings together leading advocates for immigrants, children, education, health, anti-hunger, anti-poverty groups, and community leaders who lay the foundation for a future where everyone has access to the respect and care that they need, regardless of who they are or where they were born. The PIF Coalition was founded in 2017 in response to the Trump administration’s racist “public charge” policy. Today, PIF unites over 800 organizations across different sectors and in more than 40 states. Our coalition works to tear down systemic and cultural barriers, through power building, policy and systems change, coalition building, and narrative change so immigrant families can get the help they need when they need it. We’re building a better, more equitable future for immigrant families so together we can have a stronger, healthier country.

POSITION SUMMARY

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Development Manager will be responsible for the day-to-day execution and coordination of PIF’s institutional fundraising and early individual giving efforts. This role is hands-on and operational, focused on keeping proposals, reports, deadlines, and data moving smoothly while supporting leadership and consultants with strong preparation and follow-through.

This is a new position, as this work has previously been conducted by an external consultant. It is an essential addition to PIF’s growing team, supporting an organization with an annual budget of approximately $5M and a robust base of multi-year institutional support. It is an incredible opportunity to help build systems and a best-practices development department. Immigrants, People of Color, and people with lived experience are highly encouraged to apply.
