Program Associate (PT)

The Funders' Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) seeks a part-time (24 hours per week) Program Associate to support FCCP’s communications and programmatic work and take the lead on select projects. This position will be based in FCCP’s Portland office and will report to the FCCP Executive Director.

FCCP brings together grantmakers who are committed to enhancing democratic involvement in all dimensions of civic life. FCCP believes that a vibrant and inclusive democracy is critical to the health of our country. We serve leaders in the philanthropic community working to further this vision with heightened attention to issues of equity and historically disenfranchised and underrepresented communities.

FCCP has been a driving force in the donor community for over twenty years.
