We're Looking for a Project Manager - Financial Sustainability!
Are you inspired to use your gifts in fundraising and financial management to help people transform themselves and our world?

The Hospitality Project is the mission work of Shiloh-Sixth Avenue United Church, a vision-driven, progressive missional community of Christ’s disciples who seek to grow spiritually and make a difference in our neighbourhood and world. We are seeking a temporary half-time Project Manager to focus on the financial sustainability of the Hospitality Project while we are in the process, as part of the broader Shiloh-Sixth Avenue United Church vision, of assessing our program and staffing needs. In other words, we are in transition AND need to continue to focus on long-term financial sustainability. There is potential for this position to be extended and expanded.

The Project Manager - Financial Sustainability will work closely with the Hospitality Project Interim Team and the Co-ordinator. The main areas of responsibility during this time will be financial sustainability planning, grant writing and potentially other innovations in fund-raising such as a stewardship campaign. The goal is the long-term financial sustainability of the Hospitality Project. The Project Manager will also be responsible for supporting the management of current funding.

The project manager is accountable to the Hospitality Project Interim Team and the congregational Elders.

Role of this position:
1. To oversee the financial/budgetary aspects of the Hospitality Project
2. To research grant opportunities through foundations and other programs and write proposals
2. To determine other ways of ensuring the financial sustainability of the Hospitality Project (e.g. stewardship campaign) including diversifying funding streams
4. To help in looking at the future role of the Project Manager

Skills and Qualities Required: 

Skills and Experience:
1. Proven financial management background/skills
2. Grant writing and fundraising experience and skills, excellent verbal and written skills.
3. Computer savvy with Microsoft Word and Excel.
4. Ability to work in a self-directed manner and in partnership with others.

We are looking for a Doer rather than a consultant!

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Roles and responsibilities:
1. To work with the Hospitality Project Coordinator and church staff
2. To increase our financial base through e.g. exploring stewardship mechanisms harnessing relevant funding sources through grant seeking/writing, tapping into community financial support
3. To help us diversify our income base
4. To work with the bookkeeper to ensure proper allocation of Hospitality Project funds
