This NON-PAID philanthropic board member would be our Board Financial Executive. This position is purely philanthropic and is for an executive who wants to give back and likely has experienced the cancer journey with a friend or loved one. Nonprofit board members give of their time, talent, and treasure. We have a "working board," meaning our board members are involved in our operations, donating an average of 5 hours per week. We do have a donation requirement because our funders (including grant foundations) require that our board be donors to the organization before they will provide grants.

This financial services board member will have experience in wealth planning, asset management, hedge funds, and investments, and has been actively involved in wealth management and growth. He/she will want the social impact of serving on a board that changes the trajectory of the lives of families impacted by cancer and wants to help them.

The ideal board member will come with a wealth of information on how to positively impact people of means who wish to direct their giving to a worthwhile organization. In addition, they will know others in their field with whom they can share our mission and vision to help families with children battling cancer.

About the Company

Here to Serve ( a 501 (c) (3) charity, provides coordinated non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from the point of diagnosis throughout treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap.

A child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering “journey.” For that reason, the care and support of families is required to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and from entering bankruptcy. Therefore, we provide non-medical home services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating cancer.

Cancer is not only research and hospitals, but it is also the JOURNEY! Of the billions of dollars donated to cancer, only .001% goes to families with children battling cancer!

Flexible work from home options available.
