SUMMARY

Northwest Health Foundation (NWHF) is seeking a Public Affairs Manager to join our team of spirited and dedicated staff to support the mission and strategy of the foundation. 

This position is based in Portland, Oregon and will require occasional weekends, evenings and overnight travel, regionally and nationally. NWHF employees work a mix of on and off-site with the expectation of 40-70% of staff time being spent in person at our offices in Chinatown. 

ABOUT NWHF

NWHF’s mission is to advance, support and promote health for people in Oregon and SW Washington. We believe in a future where everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy and successful life, however they define health and success. But too often our systems and institutions deny opportunity based on race, geography, disability and other aspects of identity. Recognizing race as the largest factor of bias, NWHF supports Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color (BIPOC) in Oregon and SW Washington to build the power, leadership, and relationships needed to shape decisions that affect their daily lives, to hold elected office and sit at decision-making tables, and to champion disability justice. When BIPOC communities have power, they can change systems and institutions to repair historic and current wrongs and create a future where everyone and every community thrives.

NWHF advances our mission by funding organizations rooted in BIPOC communities, investing in power-building infrastructure, providing capacity and skill building, and advocating for policy change. 

NWHF’s staff and board are a dynamic team with a wide range of identities and lived experiences that makes our organization stronger, smarter and more effective. Our staff actively participate in our community, including serving on boards, raising families and otherwise working to make our region a better place outside the workday. We are governed by engaged and thoughtful boards of directors. 

NWHF is committed to an equitable and inclusive workplace and we provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, sex, gender, disability, genetic information, military service, marital status or parental status. We strongly encourage candidates from Black, Native American/Indigenous and other communities of color, immigrant, refugee, bilingual, and multicultural individuals; d/Deaf people and people with disabilities; LGBTQIA+ and gender expansive people; and people with other diverse backgrounds and lived experiences to apply.

Individual Donor Engagement and Annual Giving

Invite Oregonians to make a direct and lasting difference for young readers.

Across Oregon, too many children aren’t meeting reading benchmarks, despite the hard work of families and educators. At SMART Reading, we want to change that—but we can’t do it alone.

Reading is an early gateway skill that helps pave the way for future learning, opportunity, and success. When children struggle to read, the effects can follow them throughout their lives. Lower literacy rates also affect the future health and prosperity of our entire state, placing additional strain on social services, limiting economic growth, and weakening Oregon’s future workforce.

That’s why SMART Reading mobilizes a statewide community to connect kids with two mission-critical ingredients for literacy and learning success: shared reading time and books to keep. Through the simple magic and joy of a shared book, children build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and discover a love of reading.

As SMART Reading’s Community Giving Development Officer, you will invite individual donors, volunteers, alumni, book lovers, and community members to help create brighter futures for Oregon children.

The Opportunity

You will lead SMART’s mid-level and community-giving strategy, combining meaningful individual donor relationships with creative annual-giving campaigns.

You will get to know donors and prospective supporters, understand why reading and children’s opportunity matter to them, and connect them with meaningful ways to help. You will thank them, share the impact of their generosity, invite them to deepen their support, and ensure they understand the difference they are making for children in their own communities and across Oregon.

You will also help SMART turn its broad network of volunteers, former volunteers, families, event attendees, and community friends into a growing movement of philanthropic supporters.

This role is ideal for someone who believes fundraising is about more than transactions. It is about relationships, belonging, joy, and helping people act on their desire to make the world a little better.

What You’ll Do

Build meaningful donor relationships

• Manage and grow a portfolio of individual donors giving between $500 and $9,999.
• Develop personalized strategies to retain donors, renew their support, and invite increased giving.
• Learn what motivates each donor and connect their interests with SMART’s work.
• Meet with supporters by phone, video, and in person to listen, share stories, express appreciation, and invite participation.
• Help annual donors deepen their engagement and prepare interested supporters for future major-gift relationships.
• Ensure donors feel known, appreciated, and connected to the children and communities they support.

Engage SMART’s statewide community

• Develop strategies to engage volunteers, former volunteers, alumni, parents, educators, event attendees, and other community members as donors.
• Invite people to participate through giving, volunteering, events, peer outreach, and other forms of engagement.
• Plan and represent SMART at program visits, donor experiences, volunteer activities, and community gatherings that bring supporters closer to the mission.
• Help supporters understand that literacy is not only a challenge for schools—it is a shared responsibility for our whole community.

Lead creative giving campaigns

• Plan and implement annual-giving, mid-level, monthly-giving, direct-mail, digital, peer-to-peer, and affinity-based campaigns.
• Develop campaign themes and communications that make SMART’s mission feel immediate, hopeful, and personal.
• Partner with communications and program colleagues to create donor appeals, acknowledgments, impact updates, invitations, stewardship communications, and stories that bring SMART’s work to life.
• Use donor data and campaign results to identify opportunities, improve strategies, and grow participation.

Strengthen SMART’s donor community

• Maintain accurate donor records, contact reports, plans, and next steps in SMART’s database.
• Track progress toward donor retention, revenue, and engagement goals.
• Contribute ideas, energy, and collaboration to SMART’s statewide development program.
• Support a culture in which every donor and volunteer is viewed as an important member of SMART’s community.

The Impact You’ll Make

Your work will give Oregonians a direct and meaningful way to help create:

• Excited, confident young readers who experience the joy of books and reading with a caring adult.
• Students better prepared for learning through regular shared reading experiences and access to books of their own.
• Strengthened family bonds as children bring books and the joy of reading into their homes.
• More students reading at home with family, building habits that support literacy, connection, and lifelong learning.
• A better educated Oregon, where more children have the confidence, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.

You will help build a broad and lasting community of Oregonians who believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a successful reader.

You May Be a Great Fit If You Are

• A warm and genuine relationship builder who is curious about people.
• Energized by meeting donors, volunteers, and community members.
• Comfortable making personal and direct invitations to give.
• A creative communicator who can bring a mission to life through stories and campaigns.
• Skilled at making people feel welcomed, appreciated, and part of something meaningful.
• Organized and able to manage a large number of relationships and follow-up commitments.
• Motivated by goals and interested in learning from donor and campaign results.
• Excited to turn community connections into long-term support for children.
• Deeply motivated by children’s literacy, educational opportunity, and a stronger future for Oregon.

Why SMART Reading?

Problems like educational inequity and low literacy can feel enormous and difficult to solve. SMART Reading gives people and organizations a direct, tangible way to make a difference. By helping children access books, spend meaningful time reading with caring adults, and build confidence and a love of reading, we can positively affect the course of their lives—and the future of our state.

At SMART Reading, you will join a village of Oregonians working together across geographic, political, and economic differences around one simple truth: Reading matters.

Join us and help build the partnerships that make a reader today.

Compensation and Benefits

Located in Beaverton, Oregon — a vibrant and culturally diverse city west of Portland and one of the region's fastest growing communities — The Reser opened in 2022 and has quickly become a cultural force, presenting an ambitious mix of music, dance, film, theater, comedy, and visual art that reflects the full breadth of human experience.
