Leaven Community Board of Directors

Seeking Board Treasurer at Leaven Community

Leaven Community, rooted in Northeast Portland, is a dynamic community where neighbors come together to build more just, connected, and thriving neighborhoods. We are currently seeking dedicated individuals to serve on our Board, with a particular need for a Board Treasurer.

📌 Open Board Roles

Treasurer (Volunteer Position)

The Treasurer plays a crucial leadership role, guiding the financial stewardship of Leaven Community. This position is ideal for someone with financial or accounting experience who is passionate about community-based, equity-rooted work.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversee Leaven’s financial health and sustainability.

  • Lead participatory budgeting, financial reporting, and long-term financial planning.

  • Ensure responsible and mission-aligned use of funds.

  • Oversee management of financial accounts and monitor cash flow.

  • File taxes and maintain compliance with nonprofit financial regulations.

  • Work collaboratively with the Financial Secretaries, Board, and staff leadership.

🫶 Who We're Looking For:

We welcome volunteers who:

  • Are aligned with Leaven’s mission and values.

  • Bring a spirit of collaboration, trust, and community care.

  • Have experience or interest in financial operations, bookkeeping, or nonprofit governance.

  • Can commit to monthly board meetings and occasional project-based collaboration.

Prior nonprofit board experience is a bonus, but not required. BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, disabled, and other underrepresented leaders are especially encouraged to apply. A small stipend can be made available to interested individuals to remove barriers to participation on the Leaven Board. 

Interested?

Let’s talk! Reach out to Leaven Director-Organizer Alison Killeen to express interest or ask questions. We’d love to connect and explore how your gifts can help sustain the work of radical belonging at Leaven.
