The Impact Fund Mid-Week Jobs Bulletin is issued each week. If you have a job announcement that you would like to list on this bulletin, please email a brief description of no more than 120 words together with a salary range and web link for more information to jgleaton@impactfund.org by 5pm Pacific on Friday. We kindly ask to be notified once the position has been filled.
Like us, we know you care deeply about avoiding bias in the hiring process. Including a salary range is one of the ways that we can all help minimize implicit bias and set a good example. The Impact Fund Mid-Week Jobs Bulletin is a free service provided by the Impact Fund. To help support this and the other free services provided by the Impact Fund please consider making a contribution to help us cover costs.
