Individual Giving & Major Donor Strategy Consultant Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children (FFLIC) About FFLIC

Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children (FFLIC) is a statewide, grassroots, membership-based organization led by families and communities directly impacted by Louisiana's youth justice system. For 25 years, FFLIC has organized families, developed leaders, advanced policy change, and worked to transform systems that harm children and communities. In 2026, FFLIC is implementing its 2026‑2028 Strategic Plan and strengthening the organizational infrastructure needed to sustain long‑term systems change.

FFLIC seeks an experienced Individual Giving & Major Donor Strategy Consultant to design and begin implementing a sustainable individual‑donor program.
