POSITION: Contract
REPORTS TO: Latinx Alliance Steering Committee, working with Committee Chair
The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta works to inspire and lead our region toward equity and
shared prosperity for all who call our region home. We do this work by providing quality services to
donors and innovative leadership to grapple with the region’s most pressing challenges, seizing
opportunities to use both. In 2021, the Foundation launched a new strategic plan, TogetherATL, to

community. The strategic initiatives of the plan will drive systemic change and advance place-based
priorities by growing co-investment in the region.

the Latinx narrative and history and educating ALL Georgians about the growing importance of the
Latinx community to our shared destiny; 2) Network Building: developing and supporting Latinx
leadership across sectors and connecting them together strategically around Alliance high level
objectives; and 3) Policy & Advocacy: identifying shared policy goals and advocating as a chorus of
voices at the local, state, and federal (GA federal delegation) level. The Latinx Alliance is a coalition of
the willing – Latinx leaders, from a variety of backgrounds – coming together to support their
