In 2022, <a href="https://go.givecampus.com/blog/the-next-chapter-for-givecampus/" data-faitracker-click-bind="true">we raised $50 million</a> to accelerate the next stage of our growth.</p> <p>Through <a href="https://go.givecampus.com/social-mobility/" data-faitracker-click-bind="true">The GiveCampus Social Mobility Initiative</a>, we've donated $1 million in free fundraising support for programs that help low-income students, first-generation students, and underrepresented minorities. And in 2022 and 2023, we were named to <a href="https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/y-combinator-top-companies-aug-2022" data-faitracker-click-bind="true">Y Combinator's Top Companies list</a> and the <a href="https://www.inc.com/profile/givecampus" data-faitracker-click-bind="true">Inc. 5000 list</a> of America's fastest-growing private companies.</p> <p>While we operate at meaningful scale (we've facilitated more than $6 billion in charitable giving), we’re still small relative to the commercial and social good opportunities in front of us. Every GiveCampus employee has a substantial impact on our trajectory, and we're growing to help schools achieve even greater results.</p> <p>Our purpose-driven team of 120+ is located across the US: team members work from anywhere they choose. We have a beautiful 12,000 sf office in Washington, DC that is available for people to use whenever they want, and we regularly organize team meet-ups, events, and retreats in various locations. We're looking to expand our team with diverse and collaborative doers who believe in our mission and the transformative power of affordable, high-quality education.<br><br><strong data-stringify-type="bold">Location:</strong> This is a remote-first role based in the U.S. While we embrace flexible, distributed work, we also value in-person connection.
