Board Recruitment Plan

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of specific Organizational needs mapped to specific board roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members, including suggested vetting questions and timeline
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
Additional details

The SF Urban Film Fest is growing fast! We plan on becoming our own nonprofit and need to recruit board members who can help us fund raise. We are based in San Francisco, CA so knowledge of the Bay Area is helpful.

What we have in place
  • We currently have Executive Director, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have Business Plan, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,822 , allowing us to pay for operations assistant.

We are growing from a seasonal project to a year round organization and need to put administrative staff in place but that takes funds so we need a fundraising board.

Our mission

SF Urban Film Fest gathers a diverse, engaged audience and uses the power of storytelling to spark discussion and civic engagement around urban issues. We ask what it means to live together in the city and make urban planning more equitable and inclusive.

What we do

-- Storytelling Workshops
- As a professional development course for planners, to teach how to incorporate storytelling as an urban planning tool.
- As a community engagement exercise for city agencies and community based organizations to develop impactful narratives that support a project, program, or policy.
-- Curated Screenings - pair urban issue related films and expert panels (consisting of public officials, community leaders, academics, and filmmakers) to reinvigorate public space and create a forum for public discourse.
-- Film Production - to produce original films that create a shared understanding of the urban context in support of community planning efforts.
