	<title>Executive Director, StopBadware</title>
	<link>http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/1227</link>	
	<description>&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;

StopBadware is a nonprofit anti-malware organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our work educates people and protects them and their organizations from becoming victims of viruses, spyware, scareware, and other badware. Our mission is to make the web safer through the prevention, mitigation, and remediation of badware websites.

StopBadware started as a project of the renowned Berkman Center for Internet &amp;amp; Society at Harvard University. In 2010, it spun off as an independent nonprofit organization. Since then, it has grown its corporate partner base and launched new initiatives, including the Ads Integrity Alliance and a badware URL data sharing program.

Our original executive director will be leaving in early 2013 (on good terms!), so the Board of Directors is seeking a visionary leader who will build upon StopBadware&#8217;s success to date and strengthen the organization&#8217;s financial sustainability. We&apos;re looking for someone who can take the reins and use our network of Partners, Directors, staff, and industry contacts to effect real, measurable, positive change in the security world. We&apos;re looking for someone who knows the security industry and how it&apos;s evolved, and who wants to immerse him or herself in the problems users and companies are facing every day.

&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;

As StopBadware&#8217;s chief executive, the Executive Director will have primary responsibility for strategic leadership, organizational management, and fundraising and external relations.

&lt;strong&gt;Strategic Leadership&lt;/strong&gt;

Work with the Board of Directors to develop a multi-year strategic plan

Refine metrics and other means of evaluating the organization&#8217;s success in carrying out its mission and delivering its programs and services

Seek and develop new initiatives and revenue sources

Serve as the Executive Committee chair of the Ads Integrity Alliance

&lt;strong&gt;Organizational Management&lt;/strong&gt;

Supervise the organization&#8217;s staff (currently three full-time, one part-time, one intern): establish goals, communicate priorities, review performance, provide professional development opportunities

Manage key projects, such as the implementation of the new data-sharing program

Create and manage the organization&#8217;s budget; facilitate annual external audits

&lt;strong&gt;Fundraising &amp;amp; External Relations&lt;/strong&gt;

Establish relationships with key figures within companies, strategically aligned nonprofits and trade associations, and government

Identify and solicit potential StopBadware Partners and Ads Integrity Alliance members

Represent the organization at conferences, in multi-stakeholder groups, and in the press as a spokesperson and subject matter expert

Engage Partners and Ads Integrity Alliance members in collaborating on, and contributing to, the achievement of StopBadware&#8217;s mission

&lt;strong&gt;Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;

Demonstrated success leading an organization

Subject matter expertise in one or more areas of information security; specific expertise in (anti-)malware preferred

Experience with public speaking and/or public relations

Fundraising, sales, and/or marketing experience a plus

Strong personal commitment to StopBadware&#8217;s mission and collaborative approach</description>

	<title>[Seasonal] Site Manager - United Way Free Tax Preparation Campaign</title>
	<link>http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/1197</link>	
	<description>&lt;i&gt;Longtime Mefite here.  Looking to hire a few people to help with our upcoming Free Tax Campaign.  I know this isn&apos;t the typical developer job that normally gets posted on this board but thought some people might be interested!&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Position Overview:&lt;/b&gt;
Site Managers provide coordination, organization and supervision for operation of one free tax preparation site in King County.  Managers must provide strong customer service to clients coming into sites, ensure quality in the returns filed, and answer tax-related questions that volunteers may have.  

&lt;b&gt;Prior experience in tax law is not required.&lt;/b&gt;  United Way of King County will provide training which will include advanced tax certification.  

We are hiring for multiple positions in locations throughout King County, with hours ranging from 15 -- 40 hours a week during the tax season (site hours &amp;amp; locations available on application website). The position is seasonal, with trainings in November to January and tax sites open from January 15th to April 15th.



&lt;b&gt;Program:&lt;/b&gt;
United Way of King County&apos;s Free Tax Preparation Campaign helps low income families increase their economic stability by connecting them with free tax preparation services, access to public benefits, and asset building opportunities.  In 2012, 650 volunteers prepared 14,400 tax returns, returning clients $20.7 million in tax refunds to the community.  The Free Tax Preparation Campaign will offer services at 17 sites throughout King County in 2013. Each site will be staffed by volunteers and a paid Site Manager.

&lt;li&gt;Troubleshoot technology issues such as printer installation or minor laptop malfunctions.
&lt;li&gt;Submit required statistical reports to Tax Campaign staff each week during tax season.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Qualifications:&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Passion for helping low-income families and individuals build assets.
&lt;li&gt;Strong site and volunteer management skills

&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

This position is seasonal.  Site Managers are hired from November to April.  Specifically: 
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;15-40 hours per week during tax season (January 15th to April 15th), for site operating hours and transmission of tax returns.  The exact time required depends on specific hours of operation, size of the site, and volume of customer traffic.  Some sites are open only during evenings and weekends.
&lt;li&gt;Site Manager training and other requirements:
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Independently complete IRS online tax law training and certification tests.
&lt;li&gt;Participate in site manager training on Nov. 10th, 17th, Dec. 1st, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and Jan. 7th, from 6 PM to 8 PM.

&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

	<title>Nonprofit Web Software Development</title>
	<link>http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/1174</link>	
	<description>I work with an author-related convention based in Boston.  We need the program management aspect of the site to be revamped.  It&apos;s your basic event management system, tracking users, panels, tracks, and so forth, with two significant exceptions:

1) No money is processed through it.  eCommerce is not required at all.

2) When an admin schedules panels, they need to see recommendations made by the software based on panelist input.  For example, &quot;I want to watch this panel (so don&apos;t put me on it)&quot;, or &quot;I don&apos;t want to work with that panelist&quot;.

I would be entirely fine with someone taking something that exists and modifying it.  The issue is not &quot;We need something that&apos;s exclusively ours&quot;, it&apos;s that our software as it stands sucks a whole lot.  I&apos;m smart with testing and minor scripting, but I don&apos;t have the mindset for a project of this scope, which is why I&apos;m ISO quotes.

We are a nonprofit, which is why the budget is as low as it is.

Thank you!</description>

	<title>Writers with Nonprofit Experience Wanted</title>
	<link>http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/1139</link>	
	<description>Focus on Impact is a new (VERY new) online resource dedicated to getting current information out to nonprofits as well as young development professionals interested in leadership. What we lack in content, we make up for in passion... unfortunately passion isn&apos;t exactly what people think of when they need a resource.

We want fact-based op-ed articles on every facet of nonprofit work: operations, development, networking, innovative techniques, social entrepreneurship, etc. We can&apos;t pay YET, but ideally (and for folks who are interested in long-term freelance work) we&apos;d like to offer paid positions. You can write from anywhere, about any nonprofit topic you&apos;re interested in. 

If you&apos;re looking for some freelance experience, nonprofit experience, or even resume padding, send an e-mail to info@focusonimpact.org. </description>

The New Organizing Institute (NOI) is looking for full and part-time summer interns to help change how candidates and voters view local elections. Interns will work closely with NOI&#8217;s Data and Technology team in transforming the way political data is made available in America.

All college students with an interest in the mechanics of American elections &#8211; regardless of level or major &#8211; are encouraged to apply. The position is unpaid, but course credit may be earned and the internship may be extended beyond the summer for the right candidate.

&lt;strong&gt;Job Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;
The Election Information Research Interns will be responsible for the following:

&#8226;	Assisting the Election Information team in gathering, entering and formatting data from state, county, and municipal sources
&#8226;	Helping organize research results to make information and sources easy to understand, both within NOI and externally
&#8226;	Working with the Election Information team in researching and interpreting relevant state election laws
&#8226;	Maintaining election information databases to reflect updated information and new legislation
&#8226;	Assisting other members of the Data &amp;amp; Technology team as necessary

&lt;strong&gt;Qualifications&lt;/strong&gt;
NOI seeks interns who are meticulously detail-oriented, able to think critically about data, and understand the precision demanded by the research process. Interns will have:
&#8226;	Some research experience, either extracurricular or through class-work
&#8226;	Basic familiarity with Microsoft Excel
&#8226;	Interest in American Politics and elections
&#8226;	Excellent writing skills, both formal and informal

&lt;strong&gt;To Apply:&lt;/strong&gt;
If you are interested in an internship with NOI, please email us at jobs@neworganizing.com with Summer Internship as the subject line. Be sure to include a brief introduction, a resume and schedule of availability this summer.

&lt;strong&gt;About NOI&lt;/strong&gt;
NOI is a progressive non-profit that works to build the practice of Engagement Organizing and support leaders who are great at it. We provide trainings, community support, actionable research and revolutionary tools for progressive organizers. Here&#8217;s what our staff says about our values and workplace:
&#8226;	&#8220; NOI welcomes and values people (and their stories, contributions, personal lives) more than any other organization I&#8217;ve worked with.&#8221;
&#8226;	&#8220;I love that we focus on long term capacity building rather than purely short term fights.&#8221;
&#8226;	&#8220;I love being part of a team of &#8216;finishers&#8217; &#8211; people who, once they start something, will see it through.&#8221;
&#8226;	&#8220;There is a clear appreciation not just for the accomplishment, but for the people who made it possible.&#8221;

	<description>(posting for my organization)

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pculture.org/&quot;&gt;Participatory Culture Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, which creates &lt;a href=&quot;http://getmiro.com/&quot;&gt;Miro&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://universalsubtitles.org/&quot;&gt;Universal Subtitles&lt;/a&gt;, and more, is hiring. Our staff lives around the United States and the world.

We are a non-profit organization with a team that rivals the talent and quality of any for-profit software company in the world. Our software is used by millions of people every month. Are you doing amazing work for a company that you don&apos;t really believe in? Quit your job and work for us. Seriously.

We&apos;re looking for an outstanding programmer who can work independently, communicate well, and step back from the code to contemplate improvements to program architecture or our development process. This is a full-time position working on Miro related projects. We are particularly interested in, but are not limiting our search to developers with GTK/GStreamer experience or Windows desktop development experience.

Miro presents an exciting real world challenge: creating cross platform desktop software that interacts with a heterogeneous set of third party libraries and provides an easy to use interface on each platform. We build on existing free peer-to-peer and media libraries where we can.

Miro is mostly written in Python, so solid understanding of Python or a similar dynamic language is a must. A solid understanding of C and C++ is also a requirement. Above all, we are looking for applicants who are very smart, agile, and believe in our mission.

TO APPLY: Send a short note about why you&apos;re interested in working with us along with a resume to jobs[at]pculture.org. We are hoping to hire soon, so please apply promptly if you are interested in the position.

We also encourage applicants to consider fixing a couple Miro bugs and submitting the patches so that we can see your work and your ability to work on our codebase. A good place to start is the &apos;bitesized&apos; bug list on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://develop.participatoryculture.org/trac/democracy/wiki/CommunityProjects&quot;&gt;CommunityProjects page&lt;/a&gt;. </description>

	<title>Graphic design volunteer help needed for NYC nonprofit&apos;s written materials</title>
	<link>http://jobs.metafilter.com/mefi/806</link>	
	<description>I work for a small nonprofit based in NYC that works on a national level with college students around the country. A significant way that we interact with and provide them resources is through our written materials, which we currently design ourselves. We would love for find someone who would be willing to volunteer for us to spruce up our work. I&apos;d rather not go into too much detail here but would love to speak with you individually about how we could work together. It&apos;s for a fantastic cause and, speaking as someone who used to dabble in design but now has no time to do it, this would definitely be a few fun mini-projects to sink your teeth into that could add to your portfolio. </description>

About TechSoup Global

TechSoup Global is a nonprofit organization that has been successful in creating a suite of high impact services that facilitate corporate philanthropy and benefit community service organizations in a financially sustainable model. For more than two decades, our mission has been to work toward the day when every community service organization on the planet has access to the technology resources and information they need to achieve their own missions. Founded in 1987, we currently have more than 170 staff members and an annual budget of about $23 million. TechSoup Global helps other nonprofits better serve their missions by acquiring and using technology, implementing web and social networking, and receiving grant funding and product donations.

Working with capacity-building partners across the world, TechSoup Global is actively expanding our program outside the US. We establish partnerships with in-country NGOs to implement our highly effective product donation program, while adapting to local business practices, laws, and cultural imperatives. In the process, we&#8217;re building a global network of partners all focused on empowering NGOs through the effective use of technology. We&#8217;re in 22 countries to date and adding more each month.

Through our TechSoup Stock website, nonprofits find a broad range of software donated by leading tech companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Symantec, Intuit, and Adobe, along with content and community resources tailored specifically for a nonprofit audience. To date we have enabled over $1 billion in technology donations world wide.

Based upon the strength of our global network, our expertise in building scalable web systems, our history of working both with donors and with recipient NGOs, and our experience building one of the fastest growing sustainable social enterprises, TechSoup Global was recently selected to build a new service for international philanthropy. Backed by major foundations and key philanthropy sector partners, this new service will create a global database of nonprofits and NGOs, making it easier and less costly for international grantmakers to provide cash grants to social benefit organizations in countries outside the U.S.

TechSoup Global is dedicated to creating and supporting an environment of openness, trust, and fun where people&apos;s differences are valued and respected, and where people of diverse backgrounds participate fully in our organization.

About TechSoup Global:

TechSoup Global is a nonprofit organization that has been successful in creating a suite of high impact services that facilitate corporate philanthropy and benefit community service organizations in a financially sustainable model. For more than two decades, our mission has been to work toward the day when every community service organization on the planet has access to the technology resources and information they need to achieve their own missions. Founded in 1987, we currently have more than 170 staff members and an annual budget of about $23 million. TechSoup Global helps other nonprofits better serve their missions by acquiring and using technology, implementing web and social networking, and receiving grant funding and product donations.

Working with capacity-building partners across the world, TechSoup Global is actively expanding our program outside the US. We establish partnerships with in-country NGOs to implement our highly effective product donation program, while adapting to local business practices, laws, and cultural imperatives. In the process, we&#8217;re building a global network of partners all focused on empowering NGOs through the effective use of technology. We&#8217;re in 22 countries to date and adding more each month.

Through our TechSoup Stock website, nonprofits find a broad range of software donated by leading tech companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Symantec, Intuit, and Adobe, along with content and community resources tailored specifically for a nonprofit audience. To date we have enabled over $1 billion in technology donations world wide.

Based upon the strength of our global network, our expertise in building scalable web systems, our history of working both with donors and with recipient NGOs, and our experience building one of the fastest growing sustainable social enterprises, TechSoup Global was recently selected to build a new service for international philanthropy. Backed by major foundations and key philanthropy sector partners, this new service will create a global database of nonprofits and NGOs, making it easier and less costly for international grantmakers to provide cash grants to social benefit organizations in countries outside the U.S.

TechSoup Global is dedicated to creating and supporting an environment of openness, trust, and fun where people&apos;s differences are valued and respected, and where people of diverse backgrounds participate fully in our organization. We believe that the diverse cultures and perspectives of our staff will help us better serve our clients. TechSoup Global is an equal opportunity agency and will not allow discrimination based upon ethnicity, race, color, citizenship, creed, religion, size, weight, height, ancestry, national origin, age, sex, gender, gender identity, pregnancy or childbirth, marital status, domestic partner status, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, physical or mental handicap, medical condition, AIDS/HIV status, veteran status, or socioeconomic background. </description>

	<description>A nonprofit here in NYC I&apos;m working with is seeking a Web design agency to refresh their (fairly straightforward) website. This will include a visual redesign, some backend coding to implement a new events calendar, and possibly a CMS for in-office editing of website content.

If interested to apply, please send links to past sites you have designed.</description>
