2 weeks ago
DLU is seeking a Director of Development and Communications (DODAC). This is a full-time, exempt position that is fully remote. The DODAC will report to the Executive Director and is a member of our senior management team.
Our Organization:
Formerly the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center (CREEC), Disability Law United (DLU) is a nonprofit legal organization that fights for liberation and equity through the lens of intersectional disability justice. Our work is informed by grassroots movements for systemic change and centers the concerns and goals of people with disabilities who are confronting barriers to accessing programs and services. We are widely recognized for systemic change litigation and for education and support for impacted community members, lawyers, and advocates.
Our Mission:
DLU’s goal is to ensure that everyone can fully and independently participate in our nation’s civic life without discrimination based on disability, race, religion, national origin, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. We challenge discrimination through litigation and education, seeking systemic change and improvement in individual lives in areas including immigration, the criminal legal system and environmental justice at the nexus of disability rights.
Director of Development and Communications
We seek an enthusiastic Director of Development and Communications (DODAC) to secure financial support for our organization and communicate DLU’s impact. The organization is funded predominately by attorney’s fees, and we have laid the groundwork for our next DODAC to expand foundation, corporate, and individual funding. The DODAC will set and achieve fundraising goals; cultivate relationships with stakeholders and prospective donors; manage communications channels (website, newsletter, reports) and digital engagement for DLU; and build brand awareness. Your time will be allocated to:
Grow/diversify funding sources (e.g., expand foundation and corporate support; prospect/build individual donor base; launch targeted outreach to legal community; support board fundraising engagement). (60%).
Coordinate, implement and update external communications (e.g., website, social media, newsletter, reports), including growing base among potential supporters and constituents. (30%).
Ensure consistent/expanded brand awareness, digital marketing and targeted outreach resulting in understanding of DLU’s work to a wider audience. (10%).

Communications

Build and execute communications strategy (including social media, emails, and direct mail).
Work with staff and board to identify opportunities to respond to current events, provide statements, and provide commentary to news articles, to increase understanding of DLU’s intersectional theory of change.
Develop special events, membership and campaign promotional materials.
Develop and execute social media and web-based communications and campaigns.
