Chief Financial Officer

Overview

AidKit, a social enterprise that helps nonprofits and governments deliver aid with dignity, is seeing a Chief Financial Officer to join our team.

About AidKit

AidKit is the engine that nonprofits and governments trust to operate cash assistance programs. We replace convoluted workflows of glued-together CRMs, spreadsheets, surveys, forms, bank portals, and human tedium with one unified platform to allow organizations to operate more efficiently and get dollars directly into the hands of people who need it most.

Our platform powers some of the nation's largest direct cash and guaranteed income pilots. We specialize in serving hard-to-reach populations, including:

• Undocumented Individuals
• Unhoused People
• Unlicensed Child Care Providers
• Refugees
• Survivors of Domestic Violence
• People with Disabilities
• Low-Income Families
  
  

AidKit grew out of a need to distribute funds to support undocumented workers in Colorado during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. We built efficient, scalable systems to manage programs and distribute funds with equity and dignity. Our philanthropic roots have grown into a startup, and we now provide the technology backbone for some of the nation's largest direct cash programs.

We are growing rapidly and the opportunity for impact ahead is immense. We are supporting the largest Guaranteed Basic Income and direct cash assistance programs in the United States and seeing new and exciting ways to support people living in poverty with dignified aid every day.
