I’m not sure how I came up with the idea to feature non-profit jobs on weekends, but it has worked out well. Most of the “non-profits” that we cover are 501(c)3 charitable organizations, but occasionally we feature a trade association or lobbying organization. Today’s “company” is as close as you’ll get to a non-profit while still being for profit (and that’s why I’m writing about them on a Saturday). Community Wealth Ventures is a management consulting firm that helps “leaders innovate, grow and sustain social change organizations that build a better world.” They’re based in Washington, DC and only seem to serve non-profit and foundations. What adds to Community Wealth Ventures’ non-profit street cred is that they’re a wholly owned subsidiary of Share Our Strength (featured in 2011), which is an anti-hunger non-profit. That means that all of Community Wealth Ventures’ profits go towards Share Our Strength’s mission.

Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

While Community Wealth Ventures is deeply embedded in the non-profit world, they do look a lot like other for-profit consulting firms. They offer a range of services tailored to different types of clients (foundations and non-profits) as well as a few special initiatives like Business Coaching and a Social Innovators Institute. If you really want to dive into Community Wealth Ventures’ work, you should read through some of their case studies. You’ll learn about what they’ve done for organizations like ACCION International, MercyCorps, and Vehicles for Change. If you like what you see, you’ll want to visit Community Wealth Ventures’ Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for an Administrative Coordinator, and it looks like a great opportunity for a new or recent grad.
