At The Contingent, we are deeply committed to building an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming workplace—because we believe that the strength of our work begins with the strength of our people. We hold ourselves to a high standard of practicing equity internally, recognizing that in order to effectively mobilize communities and empower leaders, we must first do the work within our own organization.
We center the voices of communities—particularly those who have been historically underserved or unheard—ensuring that lived experience informs how we design programs, make decisions, and pursue impact. This commitment extends across everything we do, from how we collaborate with partners to how we support one another as colleagues.
As a nonprofit, we are proud to offer strong, competitive benefits and a culture that prioritizes the well-being and growth of our staff. We actively invest in our people by providing the resources, support, and flexibility they need to thrive, recognizing that when our team is empowered, they are better equipped to serve communities effectively.
We are intentional about uplifting our staff—encouraging individuals to bring their full selves, unique perspectives, and talents to the work. Everyone at The Contingent is valued for who they are, and we foster an environment where people are encouraged to lead, grow, and contribute meaningfully.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a workplace and a broader movement where people feel supported, heard, and inspired—so that together, we can drive meaningful, lasting change in the communities we serve.
