Position Overview:

Public meetings are workshops for democracy, where residents of our community can witness, learn about, and act on the systems that impact their lives. But many local government meetings happen with no oversight or input from the public—a systemic failure of our civic information system, and a critical missed opportunity for genuine democracy.

The Documenters Network has trained more than 5,000 people across more than twenty communities to attend and annotate government meetings, harnessing their collective knowledge, relationships, and capacity to create a powerful new information resource. In 2023, Documenters came to Philadelphia, and in 2026, the Committee of Seventy, Philadelphia’s oldest and most respected good government organization, will become its new home.

The Documenters Program Manager will recruit, train and manage our growing community of Documenters, help them connect public meetings with civic issues, and support partnerships with civic institutions like Temple University and newsrooms across the city to increase public accessibility and accountability in government.

Key Responsibilities: 

Recruit, support, and manage the community “Documenters” who make the program successful.

• Craft and implement a sustained recruitment strategy to both re-engage individuals who were previously involved in Documenters and recruit new Documenters.
• Work with City Bureau, the national organizer for the program, to onboard and train Documenters.
• Regularly utilize Documenters.org, a web-based platform to track public meetings, to manage Documenter assignments and editorial workflows.
• Oversee and directly edit Documenter assignments and prepare information for publication and distribution. We expect that this will build towards an average of 4-6 items per week.
• Work with the Committee of Seventy’s CFO to set up an invoice and tracking system to ensure Documenters are promptly paid for their work.
• Apply an equity framework to programmatic decisions to ensure the Documenters site reflects the greatest need as it applies to race, gender and other demographics.

For over 40 years, The Community’s Foundation (TCF) has strengthened the quality of life in the Delaware County region. Founded as the Taylor Community Foundation, TCF connects donors, volunteers, and nonprofits to the causes they care about most, creating lasting impact through grants, programs, and scholarships. Managing more than 50 charitable funds — including Donor Advised Funds, Field of Interest Funds, nonprofit Agency Funds, and fiscal sponsorships for over two dozen community groups — TCF awards over $1 million each year to support student scholarships, local nonprofits, and community programs. Through initiatives like the Health Professions Scholarship Program (now in its 25^th year) and a broad range of grants, TCF empowers individuals and organizations to give back in meaningful ways while building a stronger, more vibrant, and equitable Delaware County.

 What You Will Get:

You’ll join a mission-driven, collaborative team dedicated to making a lasting impact in Delaware County. At TCF, you’ll work in a supportive environment where creativity, initiative, and community engagement are valued. This role offers the opportunity to lead high-impact donor stewardship and engagement initiatives, shape meaningful programs, and see the direct results of your work in the community. TCF provides flexible hybrid work arrangements, professional development opportunities, and a culture that emphasizes inclusion, respect, and belonging. In addition, you’ll be part of a small but dynamic organization where your contributions make a visible difference every day.

The Opportunity:

The Stewardship and Engagement Director leads the strategic development and execution of a comprehensive donor communications and stewardship program. This role is critical to deepening donor relationships, educating audiences about the organization’s impact, and building the foundation for long-term giving.

This individual will develop and implement segmented engagement strategies, oversee the donor database and analytics efforts, and support the President’s work with major donors through customized briefing materials and reporting. The Director will also design and execute the organization’s annual community celebration fundraising event and manage the Database Coordinator to ensure seamless integration between data, strategy, and storytelling.

While TCF is currently hiring for a part-time position, there is potential for it to grow into a full-time role based on the organization’s fundraising success. The scope of work outlined reflects the full vision for the position; however, work plans and deliverables will be appropriately scaled to align with the actual weekly hours committed.

• Support the President’s work with donors by preparing customized reports, profiles, and stewardship materials for meetings, proposals, and follow-up.
• Build a communications infrastructure to support future planned giving outreach and education.

• Lead the creation of donor-centric materials including thank-you letters, donor spotlights, giving impact stories, and annual report content.
• Design and maintain systems for tracking stewardship touchpoints, ensuring timely follow-up and consistent engagement.
• Generate regular and ad hoc reports from the donor database to monitor engagement, giving trends, and campaign performance.
