Join Our Executive Board
✨ Who We Are
Planted in Richmond, Virginia with coverage across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV), Transformative Changes mission is to defy the status quo in pursuit of justice and human liberation using healing-centered engagement, culturally-grounded creativity, and justice to center historically disenfranchised people as agents in the creation of their own well-being in the social justice movement space.
💫 Why Serve on Our Board?
Becoming a TC Board Member means joining a bold circle of liberators, bridge-builders, and visionaries. We are co-creating a new ecosystem where power is shared, healing is prioritized, and justice is reimagined.
You’ll shape our strategy, help steward our growth, and ensure that our work stays grounded in liberation—not charity. Currently, we are prioritizing Executive Board Member Positions (President, Secretary, and Treasurer).
We’re especially seeking board members with experience in:
- Law or legal strategy
- Fundraising and donor development
- Strategic leadership and governance
- Program design and evaluation
- Nonprofit finance and accounting
💥 Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+ folks, and leaders from historically marginalized communities are highly encouraged to apply.
Consultant: Development Director (Capacity-Building Focus)
Request for Proposals (RFP)
Consultant: Development Director (Capacity-Building Focus)
Transformative Changes (TC) is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to serve as a Development Director (Consultant) as part of a time-limited, capacity-building engagement.
Transformative Changes is a Black-women-founded, start-up nonprofit organization advancing healing justice, health equity, and racial equity across the Richmond region and Virginia. Since its founding, TC has worked at the intersection of mental health equity, restorative justice, youth leadership, and community care to reimagine how communities respond to harm, crisis, and care.
As TC transitions from a start-up organization into its next stage of growth, we are intentionally strengthening our internal systems to support sustainability and scale. This RFP seeks a consultant who can help design, operationalize, and document resource development and fundraising systems that will support TC’s long-term financial health and organizational effectiveness.
This role is designed as a short-term, systems-building consultancy, not a permanent staff position. The selected consultant will work closely with TC leadership to build durable fundraising infrastructure, strengthen grant and donor management processes, and support the successful implementation of goals outlined in TC’s 2025–2030 Strategic Plan and capacity-building grant.
Proposals should be submitted electronically to: carissa@transformativechanges.org
