Job Opportunity Play a leading role in writing the next chapter of an organization that continues to do good in the community since 1885. National Giving Alliance has a 137-year history of providing new clothing to individuals in need. Our decorated past includes leadership from two First Ladies (Edith Roosevelt and Frances Cleveland), more than 600 local branches across the US at our peak, and millions of garments – many of them handmade in the early years – given to those in need.

Our mission is as critical now as ever, and we are strategizing new service and revenue models to modernize our operations and exponentially increase our impact. We are searching for a Program Manager who will help us rise to meet this challenge.

As our new Program Manager, you will be the operational right hand to the Executive Director. It is a leader/doer role, and you will have critical involvement in everything from our board’s current strategic planning process to the delivery of our goods and services. You will be the manager of our Warminster operation, which focuses primarily on youth clothing and services through area school district partnerships. We view the streamlining of our Warminster center as laying the groundwork for the new NGA model of growth. Along with a planned hire for Director of Development, you will be part of the key team that interfaces with our constituents, partners, volunteers and board to propel us into the future.

This is a high-impact, high-learning job for the right candidate. You will work closely with our ED and our board, but you also will be entrusted with the autonomy to run the operations that will help NGA grow not 10% but 10x in the next decade. We view it as a great role for a candidate who wishes to be an ED down the road. It will be roll-up the sleeves work, but with a seat at the strategic table. Your work to make NGA better will directly make our communities better.
