Organization Overview: EnviroVoters and EdFund
Founded in 1972, California Environmental Voters and the Education Fund are statewide environmental advocacy and political power-building organizations working to solve the climate crisis, advance environmental justice, and build the political will necessary to create lasting change. The climate crisis is here, and Black, Indigenous, and communities of color have been bearing the burden of our pollution-based economy for generations. While the solutions to climate change exist, EnviroVoters and the Education Fund believe the greatest barrier to progress is the lack of political will to act at the rate and scale required.
To protect California’s water, land, air, and most vulnerable communities, EnviroVoters and the Education Fund builds political power through voter engagement, grassroots organizing, leadership development, public education, coalition building, legislative advocacy, and electoral strategy. These organizations work to elect and train climate champions, advance bold policy solutions, and hold elected officials accountable for meaningful environmental action.
Role Summary: Director of Finance
EnviroVoters and EdFund are seeking a Director of Finance to serve as the organization’s senior-most finance leader and a key strategic partner to the Executive Director and leadership team. Reporting directly to the Executive Director and working closely with senior leaders, the Board, Finance Committee, and external partners, this role comes at a pivotal moment. Following a period of rapid growth and increased fundraising success, the organization is focused on strengthening its financial infrastructure, improving visibility into cash flow and forecasting, and ensuring its systems and operations can support increasing scale and complexity across the organization’s C3, C4, and PAC entities.
