Compassionate Eye Foundation Volunteer Board Member

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back and volunteer with a social enterprise?
Compassionate Eye Foundation is a registered Canadian charity that leverages the power of creative people and photography in partnership with Getty Images to fund global development projects that improve lives worldwide.
We are looking for new volunteer Board Members to join our team to build on CEF’s 21 year history and to help chart our path forward. CEF is not a typical charity: up until now, CEF has generated all charitable revenues through a unique social enterprise model, selling photography through Getty Images. As the stock photography industry evolves, we are working to grow and diversify our revenue stream by exploring new funding models for partnership, sponsorship or donations from corporations.
In order to enhance the capabilities of our board, we are seeking candidates whose skills are well-suited to current vacancies within our communication and revenue generation committees. In particular we are looking for people with an entrepreneurial mindset with particular expertise and interest in:
● Fundraising and revenue generation, including corporate partnerships, corporate social responsibility and donor development
● Communications, social media, content development, digital marketing, website strategy

● Volunteering (approximately 10 hours/month)
● Attending monthly virtual board meetings (approximately 2 hours/meeting)
● Participating in minimum of one working committee of the Board (current committees with vacancies: communications & revenue generation)
● Developing new Board strategies to support cultivation, stewardship and growth of corporate giving and partnerships.

We have a preference for candidates located in the greater Toronto or Vancouver areas, but we’re open to enthusiastic applicants from other Canadian locations.
Our volunteer Board of Directors come together from our shared passion to have a positive impact (while having fun!). To apply, please email a cover letter and resume to joan.kluge@compassionateeye.org. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.
In your cover letter, please let us know why you want to join our volunteer Board and which of the Revenue Generation or Communications Committees you are most interested in. Only emailed applications including a cover letter will be considered. We will not review or consider applications that have not been emailed to us directly. While we thank everyone for their interest, only successful applicants will be contacted for an interview. This posting will remain open until all positions have been filled.
