About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

Our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results.

Programs: 

We want to see more social change in this country, and we know that producing it is hard. Disparities in money and power mean that social justice advocates need to fight not just as effectively as their opponents, but more effectively. That’s where The Management Center comes in: we help social justice leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations, so that they can get better results.

As the go-to resource on effective management for social change organizations, we’ve worked with more than 100 of the most influential progressive groups in the country and trained thousands of individual managers on the practices that help high-performing organizations deliver lasting results over time.

We offer both intensive hands-on coaching services for executive directors and their senior leadership teams, as well as a series of management training courses that supply practical advice and tools that managers can put to work immediately.

Since 2006, The Management Center has:

  • shaped the management practices of more than 10,000 individual leaders through our training program
  • helped more than 350 organizations get better results through stronger management
  • distributed more than 25,000 copies of our book Managing to Change the World
Why Work For Us?: 

5 Reasons to Work with The Management Center

1. By helping our clients, you’ll have an impact on the most important issues facing our country, like immigration, racial justice, health care, educational equity, and climate change.

2. Our clients are amazing people. You’ll work with leaders who go straight from talking with you to testifying on the Hill, leading a rally at the state capitol, or planning a new grassroots campaign with teams of organizers, and most days when you pick up the newspaper (or okay, read it online), you’ll see the results of their work.

3. Our team is awesome. You’ll be working with a group of smart, thoughtful, and genuinely nice people (at least we think we are!) who come from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds.

4. We’re committed to making our own organization one where people from all backgrounds – and in particular people with marginalized identities – thrive. While we have a lot of learning still to do, we’re working hard to incorporate equity and inclusion into all aspects of our work. That’s leading us to do things like proactively seeking to work with more groups led by and for people of color, supporting identity-based caucuses for our staff (we have people of color and indigenous people, LGBTQ, and white-identified allies caucuses), and making sure each person on our team continually hones their own cultural proficiency skills. More in the works here!

5. We try to practice what we preach: great management. You’ll have clear expectations, receive feedback (some of it even useful), get opportunities to grow and develop, and do it all in a culture that keeps the focus on real-world results and aspires to exhibit excellence with heart.

And a bonus reason… 6. We treat people well, from excellent salaries and benefits to flexible work arrangements to unusually good snacks.

Interfaith Philadelphia

Overview
Headquarters: 
Philadelphia, PA, USA
Website: 
interfaithphiladelphia.org
Annual Budget : 
$500,000-1M
Size: 
1-10 employees
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Religion / Faith-Based
Arts / Culture / Humanities
Mission: 

In order to promote social harmony and inter-religious understanding, Interfaith Philadelphia equips individuals and communities for interfaith engagement, builds collaborative relationships, and stands in solidarity with our diverse neighbors.

Programs: 

With a focus on long term, enduring impact, all of our initiatives incorporate the following critical components:

Equip Individuals with Competencies for Interfaith Engagement

 

We provide individuals with interfaith experiences, skills and knowledge that will increase understanding and improve attitudes.  We help people embrace our region’s rich religious diversity and enhance their comfortable engagement across difference.  We serve to be a point of entry for those curious to learn about different faiths and traditions, including those who orient around religion differently - from orthodox or evangelical, to secular or atheist.  The skills we teach are transferable:  Developing genuine curiosity can extend to ways we engage others in political and social discourse as well.  We are committed to being the region’s expert resource for programming in diverse settings on the subject of interfaith understanding.

 

 

Build Authentic Relationships of Mutual Trust and Solidarity

 

We hold interfaith relations as a priority for our community and sustain urgency around the importance and need for interfaith engagement.  We serve as an avenue for collaboration and for the building of mutual support.  We also serve as a central “connector” for religious, community and civic leaders, able to facilitate strategic introductions and essential conversations. We function as our region’s expert voice for this work among diverse audiences and sectors, fostering honest conversation and effective communication, managing shared data collection and analysis, and (when needed) mediating conflicts. 

Advance Interfaith Understanding in the Public Sphere

 

We want Philadelphia to be known as a place where diversity is celebrated and religion is critical to that conversation.  We want to approach our work in the public sphere with greater intentionality and emphasis, both to play a significant role in shaping public discourse, while also developing sophisticated responses to emergent issues.  Our efforts strive to touch diverse audiences and ensure that our impact is greater than a single event, program or crisis. Our tagline, Dare to Understand, challenges us to be bold in learning about one another, to dare to listen sincerely to the crying needs of our time, and to work together to contribute to the good of our region.

Why Work For Us?: 

Our vision

Since our founding in 2004, Interfaith Philadelphia has challenged the region's citizens to dare to understand one another. Our bold vision is to have our region reflect the vibrancy of a religiously diverse democracy, one in which all people are valued, distinctive traditions are welcomed, and people of diverse backgrounds collaborate to shape a just and compassionate society.

Under the direction of Dr. Thea Kano, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, DC (GMCW) is a nationally and internationally recognized organization which inspires equality, justice, and inclusion through the performing arts. Our organization is comprised of our 300-member flagship chorus, the GenOUT Chorus for LGBTQ+ and allied youth ages 13-18, the chamber ensemble Rock Creek Singers, the a cappella group Potomac Fever, the gospel/inspirational ensemble Seasons of Love, and the dance troupe 17th Street Dance.

Since 1981, the GMCW has presented thoughtful, sophisticated, entertaining, and enlightening concerts to hundreds of thousands of people in the nation’s capital, around the United States, and at international venues. Our season is anchored by three major shows presented at the historic Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC. Typical seasons also include a Cabaret, a classically programmed concert, and a fully staged musical. In addition, the main chorus and our small ensembles perform an ever-increasing number of outreach events throughout the season, totaling over 100 each season. 

GMCW is the voice of LGBTQ+ people in Washington, DC for such events as the Kennedy Center Honors (for which GMCW has performed twice), Presidential inaugural festivities (performing for Presidents Clinton and Obama), and historically significant ceremonies (including the interment services for Frank Kameny and Matthew Shepard and the celebration of the Supreme Court’s pro-marriage equality decision in United States v. Windsor). In addition to these high-profile events, GMCW and its small ensembles can be found performing weekly around the DC metro region at faith communities, businesses, and schools, promoting justice and equality for all through song.
