Volunteer: Cross-Sector Systems Lead

About the Housing Network of Rhode Island (HNRI)

The Housing Network of Rhode Island (HNRI) was founded in 1992 as the state’s association of nonprofit community development corporations. Collectively, HNRI’s members have built thousands of affordable homes and initiated community revitalization projects that strengthen neighborhoods across Rhode Island. In 2017, HNRI launched the Housing Opportunities Initiative—now known as Homes RI—to build public will for affordable housing solutions statewide.

 

As HNRI looks ahead, its new three-year strategic plan marks an evolution from a member service organization to a broader alliance focused on advancing affordable housing solutions through coalition building, increasing public support, and policy advocacy. HNRI believes that safe, high-quality, affordable housing is a basic human right and the foundation for well-being. Grounded in equity, collaboration, and people-centered solutions, HNRI works to ensure that all Rhode Islanders live in safe, healthy, and affordable homes in thriving communities.

 

Overview of Position

The Cross-Sector Systems Lead will play a key role in advancing a collaborative initiative to strengthen housing stability and improve access to affordable, permanent housing across Rhode Island. By facilitating coordination among housing developers, service providers, and public agencies, this role will help remove systemic barriers, align resources, and foster stronger connections across the housing and service delivery continuum.

 

The Systems Lead is a relationship-builder and systems-thinker who thrives on facilitating collaboration and turning strategy into action. Working closely with the Executive Director and Director of Strategic Partnerships, this position will manage the day-to-day implementation of cross-sector efforts, facilitate work groups, and ensure that feedback from partners and stakeholders is gathered, synthesized, and shared to inform broader strategy. Specifically, this role will work on a project designed to increase housing accessibility for people impacted by substance use and opioid use disorders. This is a highly collaborative, detail-oriented role for a professional eager to support alignment, strengthen systems, and make a tangible difference in the lives of low-income and vulnerable Rhode Islanders.

 

Responsibilities:

 

System Coordination & Stakeholder Engagement – 35%

Serve as the primary coordinator and trusted point of contact for cross-sector alliance partners working on priority areas identified by HNRI leadership. Convene and facilitate regular meetings, roundtables, and work sessions with housing developers, service providers, state agencies, municipal partners, and community-based organizations to ensure consistent communication and collaboration. Build, strengthen, and sustain collaborative relationships across sectors, cultivating a sense of shared ownership and accountability for advancing housing access, equity, and stability. Ensure that partner feedback, perspectives, and on-the-ground experiences are elevated and integrated into collective strategies.

 

Project Management & Implementation – 30%

Lead the work planning, scheduling, and day-to-day coordination of grant-funded activities, ensuring clarity of roles, responsibilities, and timelines. Track progress toward deliverables, prepare reports for internal and external stakeholders, and maintain compliance with grant requirements and funder expectations. Maintain momentum across multiple projects by balancing attention to detail with an eye toward broader goals and outcomes.

 

Policy & Systems Alignment – 20%

Identify structural, procedural, and operational barriers within housing and service systems that impede access, equity, or efficiency. Facilitate dialogue between practitioners and policymakers, ensuring local realities inform system-level solutions and statewide performance measures. Support the development of recommendations that streamline access, improve coordination, and strengthen equity in housing systems.

 

Data & Learning – 15%

Collect, analyze, and synthesize both qualitative and quantitative data to inform decision-making, track progress, and measure impact in alignment with HNRI priorities and funder requirements. Develop tools, dashboards, or summary reports that make data accessible and actionable for stakeholders across sectors. Coordinate peer-learning sessions, practice exchanges, or working groups that promote knowledge-sharing, spread best practices, and support continuous systems improvement. Ensure that evaluation findings and stakeholder feedback are documented and communicated to inform ongoing strategy and refinement.

 

Experience & Education

Bachelor’s degree in public policy, urban studies, social work, community development, nonprofit management, or a related field required. Advanced degree in a relevant field (e.g., Public Administration, Urban Planning, Social Work, Public Health) preferred but not required. Equivalent professional experience may be considered in lieu of a formal degree, particularly when paired with lived experience related to housing insecurity or systems navigation.

 

Skills & Competencies

Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in housing, homelessness response, social services, systems change, or related fields. Demonstrated success in coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives and facilitating collaborative processes that drive alignment and outcomes. Strong facilitation, relationship-building, and communication skills, with a proven ability to engage and support diverse audiences. Experience in project management, strategic planning, or continuous improvement methodologies strongly preferred. Deep commitment to racial equity, housing justice, and advancing community-driven solutions. Solid understanding of affordable housing systems, and/or service delivery frameworks, with the ability to connect practice to policy. Experience or background in behavioral health and/or recovery services is preferred.

 

Compensation and Benefits: This is a full-time, 40-hour/week position. The salary range offered is $65,000 - $75,000 annually. Benefits include 13 paid holidays, paid vacation, sick and personal time, health and dental insurance, insurance, flexible schedule (negotiated), professional development, and mileage/expense reimbursement when applicable.

 

Work Hours and Schedule: HNRI’s standard business hours are Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm. This position follows a hybrid work model, with employees expected to be on-site at our Warwick office three days per week. Adjustments to the hybrid schedule may be required occasionally based on events, meetings, or program needs.

 

Office and Equipment: HNRI maintains office space at 2181 Post Road in Warwick. Employees will be assigned a primary workspace which may be shared, and will be furnished with a computer with Office Suite, monitor, telephone, and wireless printing access. Use of any personal devices must comply with company policy. The building offers a parking lot and has both steps and ramp access. Located across from TF Green International Airport, the office is accessible by public transit (check RIPTA for available schedules).

 

To apply: Submit a brief cover letter and resume to Katie West at kwest@housingnetworkri.org with the job title in the subject line. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled with priority for applications submitted by Monday, May 4, 2026.

Volunteer: Finance & Administrative Manager

The Champlin Foundation located in Cranston, RI, seeks a Finance and Administrative Manager to support the Executive Director in guiding financial and administrative policy, direction, performing grantmaking due diligence and the continued development of effective, streamlined systems.

ORGANIZATION INFORMATION:

Established in 1932, The Champlin Foundation has awarded more than $737 million in grants and continues the legacy of George Champlin and his siblings by serving as a source of help, hope, and economic growth in Rhode Island. As a private foundation and a place-based funder, it awards approximately $20 million annually, primarily for nonprofit capital projects. Operating with a lean structure — a $1.4 million budget, five FTEs and considering about 300 applications each year — it values discretion, transparency, collaboration, and an equity-minded culture.

This requires a flexible team that brings a collaborative approach. All Champlin Foundation staff members are expected to be discreet in handling confidential matters, understand the dynamics of a diverse nonprofit field, possess effective communication skills, and have a working knowledge of technology.

To learn more about the organization see The Champlin Foundation.

POSITION SUMMARY:

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Finance and Administrative Manager will be responsible for four main functions: comptroller/finance lead, HR & policy support, general operations advisor, and grantmaking due-diligence reviewer. The Finance and Administrative Manager safeguards the Foundation's compliance with private-foundation and public-charity accounting/tax rules, oversees payroll, AP, and financial statements, and — distinctively — conducts financial health assessments of nonprofit grant applicants. The role works with the Trustee on compliance, records investment activity (but has no role in investment decisions or managing the investment team), and staffs the Investment Liaison Committee.

 

 

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES:

Accounting & Reporting

Maintain GL/chart of accounts (GAAP) in QuickBooks Online; manage AP/payables via BILL. Run payroll and benefits for 5 employees, including quarterly SEP IRA contributions. Monthly reconciliations, journal entries (including summarized investment activity and supporting schedules). Deliver monthly financial reports with variance analysis to the Executive Director and Trustee. Coordinate the annual independent audit (schedules, PBC documents, management reps). Ensure filing of Form 990-PF and all required tax/regulatory filings; track estimated tax payments. Coordinate Investment Liaison Committee meetings and minutes.

Budgeting & Planning

Lead annual budget process in collaboration with the Executive Director and team. Project annual grant distributions with the Investment Liaison Committee per Distribution Committee guidelines. Monitor budget-to-actual performance; recommend corrective action.

Policy, HR & Internal Controls

Maintain financial policies, employee handbooks, and insurance coverage. Support IT policy areas: acceptable use, data retention, cybersecurity, AI use, and disaster recovery. Administer employee benefits with outside vendors. Assist with data integrity, system security, and user access controls.

Compliance

Ensure ongoing compliance with 501(c)(3)/private foundation regulations. Track evolving legislation and best practices affecting foundations and grantmaking.

Grantmaking Due Diligence

A core, distinctive part of this role is assessing the financial health and regulatory standing of grant applicants.

Confirm 501(c)(3)/tax-exempt status; check SAM.gov (or equivalent) for debarment/exclusion. Analyze financial statements, audits, and Form 990s for red flags (deficits, revenue concentration, declining trends, deferred liabilities). Evaluate liquidity, reserves, revenue diversification, debt, and expense ratios (program/management/fundraising). Assess cash flow and budget-to-actual capacity to manage grant funds. Deliver assessment summaries/ratings to the grants management team.

·         Participate occasionally in site visits and applicant meetings.

General Administration

·         Manage third party contracts and services as required.

·         Collaborate with and provide support to other staff to support the mission and strategic objectives.

·         Oversee other administrative activities as required by the Executive Director and perform related duties as needed.

 

QUALIFICATIONS, EXPERIENCE AND ATTRIBUTES:

The Finance and Administrative Manager will be a mature leader with at least 5+ years senior-level nonprofit/public-charity accounting & finance experience, a team player, with a collaborative and flexible style and a strong service mentality.

Required:

·         Commitment to the non-profit sector and a passion for the organization’s mission is essential.

·         Minimum of a bachelor’s degree (accounting/finance) or equivalent experience.

·         Strong knowledge of not-for-profit Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

·         Experience leading annual audits; Form 990 experience required, 990-PF a plus.

·         Proficiency in QuickBooks Online, Excel, and BILL (or similar); MS Office.

·         Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain financial concepts clearly to grantees without dedicated finance staff.

·         Ability to balance rigorous financial assessment with compassion for applicants of varying capacity.

·         Highly organized, detail-oriented, able to manage multiple deadlines independently.

·         Strong analytical skills.

·         Initiative-taking hands-on manager, with evidence of having worked as a true business partner to the Executive Director.

·         Skill in assessing, developing and implementing financial, HR, technology and administrative policies and procedures.

·         Familiar and proficient with technology to ensure efficiencies.

·         Comfortable traveling independently statewide for site visits (sometimes multiple per day).

Preferred:

·         Knowledge of Rhode Island's nonprofit sector.

·         Additional language fluency, especially Spanish.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS

Primarily office-based, requiring extended sitting and frequent use of office equipment, including phone and computer. The role also requires the ability to sit and view computer screens for extended periods; walk up to one half mile; stand for extended periods; climb stairs; and tour construction sites during applicant site visits.

About Neighbors Welcome! Rhode IslandNeighbors Welcome! Rhode Island is a grassroots network of neighbors advocating to build more homes in the Ocean State. We advocate for statewide policy reforms, support neighbors advocating in their communities, and research strategies to achieve a robust and sustainable housing market.

About the RoleNeighbors Welcome! Rhode Island seeks a highly organized, entrepreneurial, and mission-driven Chief of Staff to serve as the right hand to the Executive Director and the operational backbone of a growing advocacy organization. This is a rare, three-part role: you will protect the Executive Director's time and focus, build and run the systems that keep the organization moving, and stay hands-on and present — in the office, at events, and alongside the team.

This is a role for a builder who is equally comfortable designing an operating plan and chasing down a payroll or tax-withholding issue the same afternoon. As a small, fast-moving organization operating at the pace of politics, we need someone who can hold the big picture and the details at once, exercise sound judgment with discretion, and take the catch-all work off the Executive Director's plate so she can lead. If you are energized by creating order, protecting a leader's focus, and being genuinely in the mix of the work, this may be the right role for you.

The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated track record of developing successful programmatic initiatives, building relationships with diverse partners, and leading groups in conversation and training towards collaborative action. They will bring a deep understanding of the barriers women face in nontraditional occupations and a commitment to developing collaborative, solutions-oriented approaches towards lasting systemic change.

About Building FuturesBuilding Futures was founded in 2007 as a construction industry partnership focused on leveraging the Registered Apprenticeship model of workforce development. For over 100 years, unions and employers have jointly operated quality registered apprenticeships in construction occupations to train individuals as highly skilled tradespeople. Our work spans three distinct but highly aligned areas.

For the benefit of low-income Rhode Islanders, Building Futures developed and operates a comprehensive pre-apprenticeship program to prepare diverse, low-income men and women for success in employment as registered apprentices in the building trades. In addition, we work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that construction projects provide employment opportunities for apprentices at the appropriate level, meeting future demand for skilled labor through our Apprentice Utilization Program. Our pre-apprenticeship and apprentice utilization program provide an effective workforce development system in Rhode Island's construction sector.

From this foundation, we have established Apprenticeship Rhode Island, an initiative to expand the use of Registered Apprenticeship beyond the construction sector. Now, we are helping develop new registered apprenticeship programs in multiple sectors, including healthcare, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and marine trades. Working with employers, industry partners, government, and community-based organizations, we are spreading the proven Registered Apprenticeship model to benefit the state's workforce and economy.
