President & CEO, Weingart Foundation
The Organization – Weingart Foundation About The Weingart Foundation The Weingart Foundation is a private grantmaking foundation advancing racial, social, and economic justice in Southern California. Founded in 1951 by Ben and Stella Weingart, the Foundation has provided over $1 billion in grants and loans to thousands of organizations across the region. By strengthening organizations focused on providing critical services and building power in communities of color, the Weingart Foundation is demonstrating what is possible when we invest and trust in our partners. Mission The Weingart Foundation partners with communities across Southern California to advance racial, social, and economic justice for all. Overarching Goal and Vision The Weingart Foundation seeks to achieve inclusion and opportunity for all Southern Californians, especially for those who have historically been excluded due to their race, income level, gender, religion, immigration status, disability, age, sexual orientation, or zip code. To achieve this goal, the Foundation’s grantmaking program and other support are designed to strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations, collaboratives, and coalitions working to meet essential needs, expand opportunity, and eliminate structural barriers to equity by building the community power required to sustain long-term prosperity. Our vision is a dynamic and effective social change sector in Southern California that is creating equitable systems and structures needed to achieve justice. Core Values Courage: The work of equity and justice often involves pushing against the status quo, taking risks, and holding ourselves and others with privilege accountable in pursuit of collective goals. We strive to show courage, drawing inspiration from the courage that communities continue to show in the face of great challenges. Dignity: Every person matters and deserves a sustainable standard of living. The measure of our society is how we treat those among us who face oppression, inequity, or lack of opportunity. Innovation and Curiosity: We commit ourselves to becoming more effective by staying open to new ideas and risks and by learning from each other, our peers, and our partners. Partnership: We strive to break down the power imbalance between nonprofits and funders, and the silos within the social change sector. Our goal is to be an engaged and supportive partner to organizations, leveraging our resources and reach to help them achieve their own goals and amplify the power of their communities. Racial Justice: Rather than addressing the symptoms of structural inequities, we seek to confront our nation’s deep history of racism and to help imagine something beyond it. We commit to using our influence, position, and resources to eliminate racist policies and practices to achieve justice, inclusion, and opportunity for all people. Respect: The people served by our work deserve our respect. We honor their dedication to improving their own lives and the lives of others in their communities, and we trust them as experts on their own experiences. Trust: Our partners know what they need, and they know what their communities need. We trust them to identify the best pathways to impact and be responsible stewards of the resources we provide.

Position Overview The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation invites applications and nominations for its inaugural Data Officer to join the Grantmaking, Learning, and Operations (GLO) team. Established in 1967, the foundation invests in creative thinkers and problem solvers working to ensure that people, communities, and the planet can flourish. Together with their partners, they are harnessing society’s collective capacity to solve our toughest problems — from the existential threat of climate change to persistent and pervasive inequities, to attacks on democracy itself. A nonpartisan philanthropy, the Hewlett Foundation has made grants in the U.S. and globally for nearly six decades based on an approach that emphasizes long-term support, collaboration, and trust. Learn more at www.hewlett.org. The Data Officer will be joining the foundation at an exciting inflection point in its history as it implements the learnings spurred by the continuing pandemic and the national reckoning with racial justice awareness that coalesced around the summer of 2020. The Data Officer will be joining a team that has been reimagined into a foundation-wide resource for ensuring that equity and transparency remain the centerpiece of their grantmaking efforts. With a focus on increasing the foundation’s “collective smartness” through effective utilization of grants data, the Data Officer will partner with GLO team members and collaborate across the foundation to implement a strategy for grants data collection and analysis. The Data Officer will report to the Director, Grantmaking, Learning, and Operations. The salary range for this role is $135,000 – $165,000 and includes a comprehensive benefits package. Salary offers are based on a candidate’s years of experience and the foundation’s practice of maintaining salary equity. TEAM OVERVIEW In early 2021, the Grants Management department was relaunched as the Grantmaking, Learning, and Operations (GLO) team, incorporating responsibility for collating and disseminating insights and learnings from their own work, and from around the foundation, into opportunities to drive process improvements that maintains equity and transparency in their grantmaking efforts. The team is in a continuous learning posture, utilizing their unique vantage point across the organization as embedded partners with programmatic teams and collaborators with administrative functions to facilitate the grantmaking process and achieve foundation goals. The GLO team plays a pivotal role in all grantmaking activities and has a valued voice in all aspects of the foundation’s work, from developing tools and processes to implementing systems and advancing promising practices through training. The team designs systems to interact with grantees, manages the grant lifecycle, aggregates information, analyzes data, and shares learnings across the foundation. Working on every program and on every grant, the GLO team is a critical partner and respected resource in the management and implementation of program strategies, serving as thought partners and catalysts for innovation. GLO led the process of launching a new Salesforce Grants Management System (GMS) and remains in deep collaboration with the IT team to continue the refinement and rollout of it. A set of values drove the process and design principles, including: leveraging collaboration and mutual respect in grant practice, transparency and learning for both staff and grantees, and supporting lean Hewlett Foundation staffing with simple and flexible procedures. In addition, an integral part of the design considerations for the new GMS was a focus on equity for grantees and staff. OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES FOR THE DATA OFFICER Reporting to Marcus McGrew, the Director of Grantmaking, Learning, and Operations, the Data Officer will be joining the foundation in a new role at an exciting time in its history. In addition to the search for their next president, the foundation has joined with other leading philanthropies to launch BuildUS, a pooled fund to accelerate America’s transition toward a worker-centered, cleaner, and more equitable economy. These developments, in conjunction with the foundation’s robust grantmaking efforts across eight programmatic areas will provide the Data Officer with the opportunity to drive organizational strategy on grants data utilization, while partnering with individual programs and their embedded Grant Officers to provide tailored solutions where applicable. The Data Officer will engage with the following opportunities and challenges: Utilization of Grants Data The foundation has a significant amount of grants data that demonstrates the enormous impact that their philanthropic support has via the efforts of their grantees and partners. The Data Officer will collaborate across the foundation with IT, and within the GLO team with the GMS Salesforce Lead, to further streamline the process of collecting grants data to encourage and foster a culture of “collective smartness” around the effective utilization of foundation grants data. The creation of a foundation-wide approach to grants data collection, including grants related data that is not managed by the GMS, will enhance the accessibility of foundation impact for internal and external audiences alike. Collaboration with Grants Officers Grants Officers at the Hewlett Foundation are embedded into program teams as their dedicated subject matter expert on the foundation’s grantmaking processes and procedures. In collaboration with the Grants Officers, the Data Officer will codify a strategy for grants data collection that enables efficient dashboarding and reporting efforts. This work will foster greater clarity around the foundation’s commonly used grants data and provide each program with a shared resource for addressing their unique data needs. The additional protocols and policies necessary to satisfy individual program requirements will be work that the Data Officer, and relevant Grants Officer, will collectively identify and address. Advising and Training The Data Officer will regularly assess the areas of expertise that exist within the GLO team to identify opportunities to provide trainings and facilitate knowledge sharing for their colleagues. Ranging from forecasting and planning to data analysis, and developing and deploying learning modules, the Data Officer will utilize a storyteller’s mindset as they actively seek ways to share the expertise of the GLO team and incorporate the learnings that programmatic data has helped engender across the foundation. Opportunities to implement these learnings may include partnering with programmatic teams, and other areas of the foundation, to influence the continued alignment around the usage of data sets commonly used across the foundation. Project Management The Data Officer will lead projects of varying complexity across all levels of the organization to advance promising practices and the Foundation’s goals. This includes establishing a project plan, setting the scope, timeline and budget, working with relevant consultants and vendors, and managing the project team(s). The Data Officer will foster and facilitate inclusion and consensus-building, while advocating for their own point of view and ensuring project goals are achieved. DESIRED ATTRIBUTES OF THE DATA OFFICER The Data Officer will be motivated by the Hewlett Foundation’s guiding principles with an understanding of the influence that a foundation can have within its chosen areas of focus. Ideally, they will have some experience with collecting and analyzing grantmaking data and deploying an effective dashboard and reporting strategies within a grants management system or similar data repository. The GLO team highly encourages philanthropic recipients and partners to consider bringing their experiences and expertise into the candidate pool.

  • A minimum of 7 years of professional experience is desired, preferably in a context that developed the skills needed for effective utilization of grants data.

Chief Philanthropy Officer, Women Moving Millions
The Organization – Women Moving Millions CHIEF PHILANTHROPY OFFICER | WOMEN MOVING MILLIONS HYBRID WORK MODEL Flexibility to be based in one of the following metro areas: New York, NY; Boston, MA; Washington, DC; Chicago, IL; or San Francisco, CA. Preference for the role to be based in New York, NY. Women Moving Millions’ (WMM) mission is to catalyze unprecedented resources to realize a gender-equal world. Launched initially as a campaign, WMM founders believed in the power and potential of what is possible when you gather a community of women together with a shared commitment to change the world. In the last decade, the community has grown to nearly 400 members who have collectively committed over $1B to improve the lives of women, girls, and gender-expansive people worldwide. WMM does this not just because they believe in gender equality, but because it’s a smarter, more effective way to foster a more equitable world. At WMM, they envision a gender equal world where women and girls are agents of change in their own lives and communities. A world that is just, at peace, and flourishing. To achieve this vision, they believe greater resources must be directed to the intersecting movements fighting for gender and racial equality. With less than 2% of philanthropic capital going to women and girls, this vision will remain out of reach unless the quantity and quality of funds going to feminist movements and leaders increases exponentially. To accomplish this vision, WMM seeks to strengthen the funding ecosystem of the movement and serve as a bridge to the intersecting movements working towards gender equality. Through the curation of a dynamic community of women philanthropists, they are able to tap into and leverage members’ collective influence and power (resources, social capital, and expertise) and drive greater capital to accelerate progress. WMM takes a ‘big tent’ approach to its membership, including women at all stages of their philanthropic journeys, creating spaces for members to be vulnerable, build trust, and hold one another accountable as they learn, grow, and act. Today, WMM brings its unique platform, movement expertise, and position as a leader in catalyzing capital to bear in everything they do. It has a proven track record of moving money to the movement: from its founding campaign, which raised a groundbreaking $181M for 41 women’s funds, to the 2020 Give Bold, Get Equal Campaign, which secured $110M in new member commitments amidst the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Women’s Power and Influence Fund, seeded by Pivotal Ventures in 2022, which activated over $11M in new giving. WMM’s history and approach as an organization and community builder is proof that when women give boldly, others will follow. In 2023, WMM launched a new strategic planning effort, with leadership support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to offer a new, bold vision and roadmap for how WMM will meet the urgent challenges impacting women’s rights globally and set it on an accelerated path to move the next billion dollars in resources to the movement for gender equality in its history. Through this plan, WMM seeks to unleash the full power of this community, and support a more diverse ecosystem of members, nonmembers, funding partners, and investment activity. Position Overview Amid this critical mission and environment of extraordinary investment and expansion, WMM seeks candidates for Chief Philanthropy Officer (CPO). The CPO provides comprehensive and strategic leadership of WMM philanthropic engagement and revenue growth initiatives. The primary responsibility of this leader is to drive strategies for the ongoing growth of a diverse community of philanthropic support and deep, long-term relationships based on the common goal of gender equality. Reporting directly to the CEO, the CPO works closely with senior executive and Board leadership to establish and advance philanthropic engagement goals and secure the revenue necessary to sustain WMM’s overall efforts for gender equality. The CPO will manage an evolving team that currently includes the Director of Community Engagement, Assistant Director of Communications, and Member Engagement Associate and is projected to expand commensurate with organizational growth and in consultation with the CEO. The CPO will lead efforts to fund implementation of WMM’s strategic priorities by simultaneously growing sources of recurring revenue (member dues and contributions, foundation and corporate support) to ensure long-term sustainability and raising supplementary growth capital through major gifts to WMM from members and foundations. This is a unique opportunity to play a significant role in advancing gender equality for a philanthropy leader who possesses a background of developing and executing creative, effective fundraising strategies and events as well as a sophisticated understanding of influencing and stewarding high-net-worth donors, family offices, foundations, and institutional philanthropy.

San Diego, CA

Director of Philanthropy, The Old Globe
The Organization – The Old Globe INSTITUTION OVERVIEW “One of the nation’s most prominent regional theatres.” The New York Times As one of the nation’s leading professional regional theatres and one of Southern California’s largest arts institutions, the Tony Award-winning Old Globe has served the San Diego region for 89 years. Under the leadership of Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein and Audrey S. Geisel Managing Director Timothy J. Shields, who work in collaboration with an engaged 47-member Board of Directors, The Old Globe serves a vibrant community in San Diego through the delivery of thrilling theatre art as a public good. The Old Globe believes that theatre matters, and its commitment is to make it matter to more people. The Globe’s Statement of Values articulates the five cornerstones of its work: Transformation, Inclusion, Excellence, Stability, and Impact. These values mandate programming that invigorates the classics, amplifies new voices and tells stories that are dynamic and meaningful to the Globe’s diverse audiences. Through its stage productions, arts engagement programming, artist training initiatives, new play development platform, and humanities programs, The Old Globe creates theatre that lives beyond the stage. CONTEXT FOR RECRUITMENT AND ROLE SUMMARY The Old Globe has earned a reputation for excelling in its high-touch, personal approach to donor cultivation and stewardship, setting the standard for donor care in San Diego. The Globe’s level of intimacy with its donors is rare for most organizations but emblematic of a regional philanthropic market driven by close social interactions and strong interpersonal relationships, and propelled by a philanthropy staff deeply invested in and fulfilled by the organization’s mission. Expansion of the donor base should include maximizing contributed revenue from the immediate region but also pursue fundraising on a much wider geographic scale. Historically undergirded by strong marketing and a thriving ticket sales operation, earned income has traditionally funded nearly two-thirds of the Globe’s annual budget, while contributed revenue funded the remainder. However, philanthropy must play an increasingly large role going forward given modern fiscal realities at the Globe and the overall theatre community. Individual giving and, more specifically, a core group of major philanthropists, have been the overwhelming drivers of the Globe’s philanthropic support. The Globe’s annual contributed revenue in the future will need to exceed $14 million annually by FY29 and feature an increasingly diversified donor base, and updates to the Globe’s physical space may present the opportunity for a corresponding campaign effort. As San Diego has become increasingly positioned as a corporate alternative to Silicon Valley, life sciences and biotechnology companies and their employees have streamed into the region. It is critical that the Globe engages these corporations, among others, as prospective partners in advancing the arts for overall community health. The Globe’s work indeed extends well beyond the stage, and its continually evolving and innovative community programs powerfully expand its impact to a broader group of stakeholders. A diversified Globe donor base should incorporate entities and individuals, including those from marginalized communities, who have heretofore not supported the institution, championing an ethos of theatre to be accessed by all, not just the few. The Globe’s Social Justice Roadmap deepens and expands existing efforts in building equity, diversity, and inclusion in the theatre. Consistent with this, the Globe’s philanthropy must proactively advance the Social Justice Roadmap and embrace a community-centric fundraising lens in contrast to the donor-centrism that has informed previous fundraising. Position Overview The Old Globe has become an internationally known theatre and influential powerhouse among regional theatres, and can mount a compelling case for support from theatre stakeholders across the U.S. The opportunity beckons for The Old Globe to fully embrace and articulate its place at the vanguard of global theatre, celebrate its artistic preeminence, cultivate philanthropy on a wider geographic scale, and ascend to new heights as an organization. The Old Globe’s cultural cache and vibrant narrative provide a far-reaching platform to dramatically increase contributed revenue. This is the favorable context in which the Globe seeks a seasoned fundraising professional who will continue the evolution of a comprehensive, modern, and sophisticated fundraising program to support the theatre’s acclaimed productions and community programs. Reporting to the Managing Director with a dotted-line relationship to the Artistic Director, the Director of Philanthropy (DoP) will oversee an 11-person team of energetic and highly-engaged professionals in the areas of major gifts, institutional giving (corporate, foundation, and government), planned giving, annual giving, membership, and special events. The DoP’s initial focus will be working as a close and trusted partner to the Managing Director and Artistic Director in evaluating, re-envisioning, and reengineering the way the Globe fundraises, and articulating an overarching fundraising philosophy. The DoP is charged with advancing a sustainable major gift-focused fundraising culture seamlessly integrated with the organization’s programmatic and marketing initiatives, and coalescing the organization-wide philanthropic response necessary to implement the Artistic Director’s vision. The successful candidate will be a dynamic and highly organized individual who possesses broad-based philanthropy expertise, with particular sophistication in the areas of capacity building and strategic facilitation, as well as outstanding skills in presentation, writing, and organizational diplomacy. Experience building and/or significantly growing a state-of-the art, complex philanthropy function is desired, ideally within an arts-related organization or cultural institution. The Globe requires an individual who is committed to building a responsive, efficient, and highly successful fundraising program within a vibrant, fast-paced, high-volume artistic enterprise with a year-round production schedule. The DoP will embrace the Globe’s evolving mission and the sweep and scope of its leadership’s vision, joining an organization replete with impassioned, driven, creative, and dedicated individuals.

Vice President, YouthTruth, Center for Effective Philanthropy
The Organization – Center for Effective Philanthropy About YouthTruth: YouthTruth was born out of a conversation between the Center for Effective Philanthropy and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation back in 2008. The Foundation was seeking to hear from more voices – and one that was missing was the voice of the people whose lives they were trying to affect: the students themselves. YouthTruth is based on the simple but powerful premise that when you get timely feedback from those you’re trying to serve, and really listen to that feedback to make changes, you get better. About CEP: For two decades, CEP has led the movement to improve philanthropy through a powerful combination of dispassionate analysis and a passionate commitment to improving lives. Today, over 350 foundations around the world have used CEP’s assessments and advisory services to gather honest feedback from their stakeholders in an effort to learn how to be even more effective. CEOs and trustees have come to rely on our research for insights into foundation effectiveness on a wide range of topics, from assessing performance to developing strategy to managing stakeholder relationships. Our highly regarded programming—including our biennial conference—gives foundation leaders an exclusive and unprecedented opportunity to connect with their peers. Strengths of CEP’s work culture are entrepreneurialism, accountability, teamwork, collegiality, diversity, and mutual respect. The Opportunity: We believe, and research shows, that student and stakeholder voice matters. We equip education leaders and philanthropic funders to integrate on-the-ground insights into planning, professional development, and improvement processes. As the leader of YouthTruth, you would have the opportunity to influence schools, districts, funders and networks and help create happier, healthier, school systems paving the way for higher academic achievement.

The Vice President represents YouthTruth publicly, leads fundraising efforts, and manages relationships with its advisors. The Vice President is also responsible for the strategic and operational leadership of YouthTruth and ensuring that YouthTruth achieves its goals. Other key responsibilities of this role include marketing, managing funder relationships, overseeing district and state recruitment efforts nationally, overseeing product development, and guiding overall implementation. Reporting to the President of CEP, the Vice President is a member of CEP’s senior leadership team, leads a team of 17, and collaborates closely with staff in other departments at CEP. Responsibilities:
  • Provide strategic vision and leadership to successfully achieve YouthTruth’s growth, expansion, and sustainability plans.
  • Serve as a spokesperson and persuasive champion for YouthTruth, for the importance of hearing from students, and for the insights gleaned from our data sets – including through speaking engagements, blog posts, and op eds.
  • Cultivate and manage new and existing funder relationships to support YouthTruth, with leading national and regional education funders and organizations.
  • Lead regional funder collaboratives to help foundations learn from and use perception data to advance their strategy, tactics, and grantee relationships.

  • Manage and convene an external Advisory Board to provide strategic guidance.
  • Manage a 17-person team and foster a strong team culture that prioritizes cohesion, mentorship, trust, respect, and empathy.
Qualifications:
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to build relationships with a variety of constituents and present a vision and a compelling case for organizational support

  • Interest in leading a growing team in a highly entrepreneurial, fast‐paced environment

  • Generous paid time off plan, including up to 15 holidays, three weeks of accrued vacation, and two personal days per year

Location: This role will be based in our San Francisco, California office. We strive to balance in-person time with flexibility and the needs of each person, team, and the organization. We believe culture, communication, trust, training, and certain kinds of creative work benefit from in-office interactions – and that remote work also has many advantages. Staff are expected to be in the office one day per week and enjoy the option to work fully remotely from anywhere four weeks per year. That said, given the leadership role the Vice President will play and the size of the YouthTruth team, we’d expect a more significant in-office presence for this leader: perhaps two to three days a week in the office when not travelling.

If you have any questions, please contact Leaha Wynn, Senior Manager, People and Culture and D&I Strategist or Alyse d’Amico, Vice President of People and Culture at jobs [at] cep [dot] org. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. We believe that a diversity of thoughts, experiences, backgrounds, personalities, and identities helps us think bigger and better, and enables us to reach our goals more effectively. We are committed to building a diverse staff and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
