Who is Comunidad?

Comunidad is a Latino grassroots organization based on Vashon Island and South King County, with a presence in surrounding areas. Founded in 2009, Comunidad emerged from a collective desire to challenge systems that limit our potential. In 2015, we restructured to become a youth-centered organization, envisioning thriving Latino communities that embrace our culture, talents, and power to transform systems not designed for us. We actively seek those who haven’t been involved in mainstream ways, aiming to build a movement for community-led innovation and joy.

Position Summary

The Finance & Evaluation Manager will play a central role in Comunidad’s financial infrastructure and accountability systems. This position combines traditional nonprofit financial management and grant oversight with a growing emphasis on tracking, analyzing, and learning from financial and programmatic data to support both compliance and strategic decision-making.

We’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of precision and purpose—someone who can balance rigorous tracking with a curiosity about how resources flow, who benefits, and where we can be more strategic. This role supports our commitment to learning what works, for whom, and why.
