Board of Directors and Treasurer Position

350 Chicago is working to end public institutions’ investments in the fossil fuel industry while advocating for swift climate action in Illinois and the Midwest. We are a volunteer-driven, independent 501(c)(3) non-profit that works in coalition with other environmental justice and climate organizations.

We seek candidates for our board of directors with the specific aim of filling the position of Treasurer.

The best candidate will have experience with bookkeeping or accounting, as well as a willingness to assist 350 Chicago in our efforts to further professionalize the board and the organization.

Over the course of the next year, 350 Chicago will update its budget and will continue implementing various fiscal processes, transparency procedures, and human resource policies. We need a Treasurer able to support the organization with these activities.
