About Iconico
Iconico was established to build advocacy capacity in organizations. We believe that organizations can continuously improve their advocacy and community engagement efforts, execute bolder ideas to mobilize supporters, and become better managers of people and campaigns. Iconico provides tools and strategic capacity to manage effective and iconic campaigns. We partner with organizations, funders and individuals to develop campaigns with broad systemic impact. Iconico and its partners build movements that have long-term effects.
Position Description
Iconico’s team is launching a new effort, a nonprofit called Instituto. This new organization’s vision is to ensure that every community has the inherent leadership, capacity, and resources to create its own solutions.

Instituto will focus on developing this capacity by: 1) accelerating the impact of emerging leaders and 2) supporting innovative ideas, tools, and solutions that can help mobilize progressive social change.
