Seattle, United States Philanthropy Northwest Full time

Safe Crossings Foundation is dedicated to helping children grieving the death of a parent, sibling, or other loved one heal and thrive. For thirty-five years, the foundation has funded proven and new programs around the region that each have a profound impact on the healing process of bereaved kids in our community. While continuing to invest in our tried-and-true partner organizations, we also strive to identify gaps and reach even more children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to find support. In addition, our annual Northwest Conference on Childhood Grief gives providers working directly with grieving children a unique opportunity to build community, share ideas, and learn together.

SCF’s generous donors partner with us to fund critical services. Over the past five years SCF’s generous donors have increased their giving to help us expand our programmatic reach in the Puget Sound region. The demand for children’s grief support programming is now outpacing our current fundraising efforts. As we look ahead to our next decade of service to the community, we are looking for a creative, dynamic, committed development leader to help fulfill our ambitious strategic vision that all children, teens and young adults in Washington state have access to free grief support so that no child grieves alone.

As an organization, we know our success depends on each employee’s success. We work to create and foster an environment of respect, appreciation, and acceptance for everyone who becomes part of our Safe Crossings Foundation family. We are a small team but a mighty one who cares deeply about our mission, delivering on our commitments, and at the same time, having fun and enjoying a flexible work place. Our board members are highly skilled, committed and engaged. We enjoy and are grateful to have such a collaborative partnership.
