We’re expanding our team, and we’d love your help.
Since 2015, Shatter the Ceiling has invested more than $7,000 in grants, programming and events focused on closing the corporate diversity gap and providing access to people of color.
We’re finally ready to build our team, and are seeking 3-5 people to join our Board of Directors and help push our 2019 objectives forward. We ask that board members be willing to allocate 5 - 10 hours per month to Shatter The Ceiling.
Board members will be involved in obtaining 501c3 status, fundraising to expand our footprint, hosting events, strategy setting and visioning, and developing strategic partnerships.
Application deadline is November 25. Please note this is an unpaid opportunity.

A. We ask that applicants have 5-10 hours per month to devote to Shatter The Ceiling. We’ll have 1 - 2, one-hour meetings per month, and then additional time to tackle any action items from our meetings. Although Board members are asked to commit to the entire year, grant season only runs from January to June, so after that point, things may slow down a bit.
