They don't timestamp openings...maybe their being up means they're still
looking? The last time I checked this site was ~1.7 months ago, and none of
these were included except the last job. Wouldn't hurt to inquire!

The Berkeley Student Cooperative is 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a $10 million
operating budget. We provide affordable housing to university students, and
we are cooperatively operated in that each student contributes to our
management, governance, and operations with "workshifts," in addition to
rent payment. *Our mission is to provide a quality, low-cost, cooperative
housing community to university students, thereby providing an educational
opportunity for students who might not otherwise be able to afford a
university education*. See www.bsc.coop.
95% of our budget is covered by student rent payments. We also devote
resources to alumni development and major donors.
Now we want to explore the world of corporate and charitable foundation
grants. We would like to find a grant writing professional who can help us
with the following, ideally starting in Summer 2014:
- Identify foundation prospects. Requires in-depth knowledge of relevant
foundations and ability to assess our budgetary needs in order to make
the
optimal matches.
- Manage application process. Requires project management skills. I am
able to devote many hours of time to do the bulk of the work, but I am
looking for someone who can direct the process.
Thank you for helping us circulate this request!
Kind regards,
Madeleine

> Dear Friend,
>
> Many exciting things are happening at the New Economy Coalition! We have just hired some fantastic new talent onto our Organizing Team to build on our existing Youth and Student Network, jumpstart our Faith Communities Organizing and launch a brand new Racial and Economic Justice Initiative.
>
> And we’re re-launching our Youth and Student grants program! Read to the end for more information about that program and how to apply.
>
> But first, here is the NEC Organizing Team:
> Aisha Shillingford
> Director of Organizing (Racial and Economic Justice Initiative)
> Rachel Plattus
> Director of Organizing (Youth and Student Network)
> Esteban Kelly
> Lead Organizer (Capacity Building and Organizational Development)
> Sachie Hopkins Hayakawa
> Youth and Student Organizer
> Belinda Rodriguez
> Youth and Student Organizer
> Nicholas Hayes
> Faith Communities Organizer
> Along with the rest of the staff, the team is looking forward to the opportunity to work with existing NEC member organizations, to help bring new members into the Coalition, and to support people doing the work on the ground to build a new economy. Together, we hope that these programs will help to write a story about a movement led by those who bear the greatest burden at the hands of an extractive economic system—and who have the most to gain from the restorative, democratic economy growing up around us.
>
> With those goals in mind, we are again issuing a Request for Proposals for young people working to build the New Economy. On a rolling basis, we will be offering small grants (up to $5000) for convenings, projects and campaigns. The grants will be accompanied by support for planning and executing your project and access to NEC’s large and growing network.
>
> Start the application process by submitting a letter of interest.
>
> Last year’s Campus Network program supported fourteen campuses across the US and Canada in exploring big questions about how to build an economy that prioritizes people, place and planet, culminating in the reRoute convergence, which gathered more than 300 young people to talk about building youth and student power for a new economy. This year, we are making funding available to young people on and off campuses, to talk about and get to work building a new economy.
>
> There are infinite possibilities. Map the solidarity economy in your community; plan a convening on your campus about community reinvestment; develop curriculum or bring in trainers to help with starting cooperatives, time banks or land trusts in your community; envision together what it would look like for your hometown to adopt policies to support an economy based on solidarity rather than extraction.
>
> Most importantly, we want to hear from you about your ideas. We know they're going to be great.

> With excitement,
