Who We Are
We’re 18Doors, a fast-paced, national Jewish nonprofit with a collegial, warm organizational culture and entrepreneurial spirit. We are the only national Jewish nonprofit laser-focused on understanding, connecting with, and communicating the needs of Jewish interfaith couples and families. We’re growing quickly, with a budget of about $3 million and staff and rabbinic fellows in 25 communities around the country and in Canada.
We are an entry point to Jewish life for interfaith families and a catalyst for connection. We do that with a focus on five areas: 1) A digital strategy that includes a website and social media presence focused on sharing stories and advice from interfaith families, and resources and recipes on Jewish culture, holidays, tradition and food; 2) programs for interfaith couples and families to share ideas and learn together; 3) a Jewish clergy referral service to help families find rabbis and cantors for lifecycle events or counseling ; 4) a rabbinic fellowship program for rabbis who want to deepen their work with interfaith families; and 5) learning opportunities for Jewish professional and lay leadership interested in building a culture of belonging with a focus on interfaith inclusion. We have local staff in Atlanta, Boston and Chicago, and affiliate relationships in Cleveland and New Orleans.
It is all designed to help couples and families to connect and to build the Jewish life they want, and to enrich the vibrancy and strength of the Jewish community through the participation of interfaith families. We want our team to reflect the diversity of our world, and of the Jewish interfaith couples and families we work with.

You have some experience closing major donor gifts, and are hungry for more. You enjoy talking to donors and prospective donors, and communicate effectively in both spoken and written word. You manage up well, close the loop and follow through.
You enjoy working in a team environment, but also the autonomy to move projects ahead on your own once goals have been set.
