Director of Institutional Philanthropy and Senior Development Officer
Fair Chance envisions a nation where every child succeeds. We believe that small, community-based nonprofits are critical players in combating the effects of poverty on children. Annually, we select cohorts of small nonprofits, predominantly led by people of color, and provide a unique capacity-building program that strengthens organizational infrastructure and sustainability.Our goal is to ensure these organizations are strong resources in their communities for years to come. Since 2002, we have served over 120 nonprofits in Washington, DC and Prince George's County, MD. Results show that nonprofits that complete a Fair Chance Partnership go on to double their budget and double the number of children they serve — providing more opportunities and access to those most affected by poverty.Our model is necessary for our times.
