Reports to the Director of Development
ORGANIZATION PROFILE
Stupid Cancer is the world leader in adolescent and young adult cancer advocacy, research, support, and education. Founded in 2007, Stupid Cancer has spent more than a decade ending isolation, building community, providing education, redefining quality of life, and improving health outcomes for this community. Stupid Cancer just celebrated its 15th birthday but we’re just getting started! If you like building something instead of fixing something and want to have your creative ideas about fundraising from a wide variety of audiences, this might be the job for you.
OUR CORE VALUES
- We are an interconnected community, including EVERYONE affected by AYA cancer, where all experiences are honored, celebrated, and seen.
- We believe that all people should receive equal access to quality, holistic cancer care no matter their diagnosis, location, means, age, race/ethnicity, ability, sexuality, or gender.
- We empower our community with comprehensive resources and support.
- We support the AYA community by addressing the real life hurdles that come with cancer as a young person and advocate for change where traditional support systems fall short.
- We connect with our community with an honest, unapologetic voice.
- Our programming is innovative and socially responsive.
Stupid Cancer recognizes the benefits of flexibility in a work schedule, but also the innovation which comes from working collaboratively in-person. Our current schedule is virtual three days a week and in-person at our NYC headquarters in Tribeca two days. The Development Manager reports to the Director of Development.
