Title: Grants and Sponsorships Manager
Reports to: SAL Development Director
Full Time, nonexempt
Organization Overview:
Mission: Seattle Arts & Lectures cultivates transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations.
We invite you to join our fun, book-loving, social justice-driven team of 13 to fulfill the mission of SAL as our Grants & Sponsorships Manager. SAL fulfills its mission through educational, public, and community programming, in-person and online. Our public literary events bring the most talented and thought-provoking writers of our times to speak about and read their work. Our free Summer Book Bingo program (co-presented with the Seattle Public Library) inspires our community to reconnect with the joy of reading through a series of fun challenges. Our youth programs include Writers in the Schools (WITS) and the Seattle Youth Poetry Fellowship (YPF) program. WITS places local, professional writers in public school classroom residencies to inspire K-12 students to tell their stories as they develop lifelong writing skills. YPF elevates the powerful voices of local youth poets committed to community engagement, education, and equity in our region.
SAL offers thoughtfully curated experiences through programs that are intergenerational in nature, bolstering both emerging and established literary artists, and inviting change and new perspectives in our audience. We believe these activities are essential to continuously and courageously revitalize equity, justice, and belonging. Our work both internally and externally is guided by our core values: belonging, racial equity, transparency and trust, curiosity, and joy. We value a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture in all areas of our work and culture. SAL is an equal opportunity employer.
