Nonprofit Board of Directors Marketing and Development Executive

This NON-PAID philanthropic board member would be our marketing and development executive on our Board of Directors. This position is purely philanthropic and is for an executive who wants to give back and likely has experienced the cancer journey with a friend or loved one. Nonprofit board members give of their time, talent, and treasure. We have a "working board," meaning our board members are involved in our operations, donating an average of 5 hours per week. We do have a donation requirement because our funders (including grant foundations) require that our board be donors to the organization before they will provide grants.

This Marketing/Development board member will have experience in email marketing, PR, branding, digital, and podcast marketing. If there is experience in donor fundraising and cultivation, that would be a big plus~

This board member will be tasked with increasing awareness of Here to Serve's wraparound support programs for families with children battling cancer in the home where more than 60% of the cancer journey happens without coordinated support. Our desire is to become a charity known and funded at the same level as Make a Wish, but in the area of family home support throughout the cancer journey, providing the needed resources and help in the home.

Here to Serve (www.HereToServe.org), a 501 (c) (3) charity, provides coordinated non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from the point of diagnosis throughout treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap. 

We believe a child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering “journey.” For that reason, the care and support of families is required to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and entering into bankruptcy. Therefore, we provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating their child’s cancer. 

Cancer is a three-legged stool, not two! Research, Treatment, AND Journey! The journey is as profound and consequential as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Therefore, a family's cancer "journey" requires the same awareness, support, and funding as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Of the billions of dollars of funding for cancer, only .001% is provided to families with children actually battling cancer!
