About Unsinkable

Unsinkable is a national nonprofit organization grounded in the power of storytelling.

We create spaces for people to share lived experiences in ways that foster connection, deepen understanding, and strengthen communities. While mental health is one meaningful outcome of this work, so too are confidence, belonging, resilience, and leadership.

Through storytelling, we are building a growing movement across Canada rooted in lived experience and human connection.

The Opportunity

Unsinkable is seeking values-aligned individuals to join our Fundraising & Major Gifts Committee.

This is not a traditional fundraising role. It is an opportunity to act as a connector and advocate, helping expand Unsinkable’s reach by opening doors, making introductions, and strengthening relationships with individuals, families, foundations, and organizations.

Committee members play a key role in helping Unsinkable grow sustainably and reach more communities across Canada.

• Support relationship-building efforts by identifying and introducing potential donors and partners

• Contribute ideas and insights to support fundraising strategy and growth

• Believe in the power of storytelling and lived experience
• Are natural relationship-builders and connectors
• Have networks they are willing to activate for impact
• Are excited to support the growth of a purpose-driven, national organization
• Bring experience or interest in philanthropy, partnerships, or community building

You do not need to have formal fundraising experience to be a strong fit.

Support & Structure

Committee members are well supported by Unsinkable’s leadership team, including the Fundraising Lead, Executive Director, and Founder.

We provide:

• Clear guidance on priorities and opportunities
• Support with outreach and relationship development
• A collaborative, values-driven environment
• The opportunity to contribute meaningfully without a heavy time commitment

Time Commitment

• One monthly virtual meeting
• Light engagement between meetings as opportunities arise
• Estimated total: 2–4 hours per month

Why Join

This is an opportunity to:

• Be part of a growing national movement
• Use your network and influence to create meaningful impact
• Contribute to work that is changing how we connect, understand, and support one another
• Join a thoughtful, values-aligned community
