JOB DESCRIPTION OneAmerica is seeking a skilled and dedicated Development Director to advance the fight for immigrant justice in Washington State. This is a hands‑on, relationship‑centered role for an experienced fundraiser who is invested in the mission and ready to help grow the resources that make this work possible. As Development Director, you’ll grow and steward a broad donor portfolio, design and execute OneAmerica’s ambitious 25th anniversary campaign, oversee strategy for foundation funding, and help build a community‑rooted fundraising program that engages supporters at every level.
In a moment when donors are looking for ways to be part of meaningful, lasting change, you’ll be stepping into an organization that is well‑resourced, well‑led, and has spent 25 years earning exactly that trust. Part of what makes this role distinctive is the opportunity to help OneAmerica build a true political and movement home for donors—a place where supporters feel deeply connected to the fight. That includes working with donors who are making intentional, politically‑engaged choices about where to invest right now, and meeting them with the clarity and vision that this moment demands. OneAmerica’s commitment to building lasting power in immigrant communities runs deeper than any single political moment, and Washington State is where real wins are happening. Be the fundraiser who helps power this fight!
Organizational Overview OneAmerica organizes immigrant and refugee leaders and our allies in Washington State to build power in our communities and run campaigns that ensure immigrants are not only protected and can survive but that immigrants can thrive and are equal, valued and loved. Established in 2001 by U.S. Representative Pramila Jayapal, we have since grown to become a locally and nationally recognized leader in advancing immigrant, civil, and human rights.
OneAmerica envisions a peaceful world where every person’s human rights and dignity are respected, where communities appreciate differences and stand together for justice and equality, and where each person contributes to the common good. All of our work is grounded in our
Theory of Change
and guided by the conviction that people directly impacted should lead our movement for justice because they are best equipped to create real solutions that build lasting power. Grassroots immigrant leaders—our base—drive priorities across our organization.
Power building means developing the collective strength, leadership, and political will to create lasting, systemic change—not just winning individual policy fights, but shifting who holds power and how decisions get made. At OneAmerica, this work takes four forms:
Organizing:
We build the leadership of immigrant and refugee grassroots leaders to organize together with our allies to co‑govern with elected leaders in communities where we live and work.
Policy & Advocacy:
With our grassroots leaders driving our campaigns, we develop and advocate for policies that serve our communities at the local, state, and federal levels—building power each step of the way.
Civic Engagement:
We train and support people like us to run for office, mobilize voters and funds to elect people who represent us, and endorse and support pro‑immigrant candidates to govern with us through our sister organization, OneAmerica Votes.
Immigration Inclusion:
We advocate for systems that include immigrants at every level, including the workforce, and provide English classes and U.S. citizenship support as a point of entry into our movement.
We carry out this work in Washington State through a family of four organizations, which consists of OneAmerica (501(c)3), OneAmerica Votes (501(c)4), OneAmerica Votes Justice Fund (State PAC), OneAmerica Votes Justice for All Fund (Federal PAC). With a combined budget of over $6M and 28 staff, visionary leadership, and stable funding streams, OneAmerica is well positioned to meet today’s challenges with both resilience and resolve.
Working at OneAmerica OneAmerica is a close‑knit, high‑performing team that operates at campaign pace—making decisions quickly, executing, and moving forward—while holding high expectations of ourselves and each other. Our staff reflects the communities we serve: approximately 80% are immigrants or children of immigrants, and our leadership team is entirely women of color. This is a multicultural, multigenerational workplace where no two people share the same story, and where the work is deeply personal for most of our people. While we are genuinely collaborative and cross‑functional, OneAmerica operates with a clear decision‑making structure that keeps us focused and moving.
Relational organizing is at the heart of how we work internally and externally. We believe in developing deep, authentic relationships that articulate clear self‑interests, both inside and outside of the organization. In practice, this means staff regularly hold 1:1 conversations with coworkers, community members, partner organizations, and elected leaders to understand their values, the experiences that have shaped them, their drive to make change, and what gets in the way of acting powerfully. We see the world as it is, even as we envision a better one, which sometimes means making strategic choices grounded in our power analysis about where and how to engage, rather than fighting every battle. Comfort with that tension is part of working here—these relationships, and the hard work they require, are transformational for our team and for the people with whom we work.
OneAmerica staff work in one of our three offices in Seattle, Yakima, or Vancouver on most Tuesdays and Thursdays, and may work remotely on the other days. Willingness to accommodate community‑based scheduling needs, such as occasional evening and weekend
