About REDF

REDF, we’re building an economy that works. For everyone.

We discover and back social entrepreneurs across the United States that employ people striving to overcome employment barriers like homelessness or incarceration.

These mission-driven businesses, called employment social enterprises, exist because they see untapped talent in their communities for the strengths they hold, not the barriers they’ve faced. That’s why REDF invests in their businesses, so we can help push their impact further, faster.

We pair our grantmaking with capacity-building support, create space for employment social enterprise leaders to learn together, and sponsor state and federal policies that help shift perspectives. Because we believe that our economy works best when it works for everyone.

Since 1997, REDF has invested in 238 social enterprises in 33 states and DC, helping over 84,000 people create a future where they can flourish.

The Role: 

Do you love social impact, business, philanthropy, and working hands-on with incredible entrepreneurs to change the trajectory of their social enterprises? This is the job for you!

Reporting to the Director of Community & Outreach and working in close collaboration with the Senior Manager of Community, the Community Manager will work on the Community team to help deepen our relationships with dozens of employment social enterprises (ESEs) across the country by listening, learning, and helping to build programming that is responsive to their needs. The REDF Community is comprised of social enterprises that are alumni and current participants of the core programs we offer – Growth Portfolio, RIIF Loan Portfolio, Accelerator, and LA:RISE. You will build relationships with the alumni to identify their ongoing needs, provide support via REDF resources, and connect them to peer organizations while advancing REDF’s equity commitments.

Through both relationship-building and learnings from the REDF Community Program, REDF will be looking to you to help answer the following question that continuously informs our work – how can REDF better support the leaders who are focused on improving the lives of their employees and positively impacting their communities?
