Through its nearly 100 Affiliates, diverse programs, and advocacy, the League advances its mission to enable African Americans to secure economic self-reliance, parity, power and civil rights. The League reaches more than one million Americans each year through its valuable and relevant resources and programs, such as the online jobs network, the Mature Worker Program, the Urban Youth Empowerment Program, the Community Health Workers program, financial literacy, homeownership preparation and foreclosure prevention classes, and education development.

The Vice President will serve as a highly collaborative team member to expand the capacity and capabilities of foundation and special projects to help inspire historic philanthropy.

The successful candidate will have a commitment to racial equity and civil engagement, proactively identify and solicit new and existing foundation donors, and understand government relations.
