The Organization

Proteus Fund partners with foundations, individual donors, activists, advocates, and other allies to advance social justice. Our work focuses on the interconnected goals of racial, gender, queer, and disability justice and an inclusive, fully representative democracy. Catalyzing progress on all of these fronts is essential to realizing our vision of a more equitable, just, and democratic future. We support movements through shared strategies and approaches with the aim of creating legal, social, and cultural sea change. In our 28-year history, we have collaborated in launching many mission-driven initiatives, including Donor Collaboratives, Fiscally Sponsored Projects, and Donor and Group Advised Funds. Through all of our work, we also strive to transform and radically enhance the very nature of U.S. philanthropy.

Proteus Fund and our associated organization Proteus Action League (PAL) have distributed more than $241 million in grants to support cutting edge issue advancement and movement building.  The bulk of our grantmaking is at the state and grassroots level where we fund  strategies and tactics ranging from community organizing, coalition building, and public policy advocacy to narrative development, strategic communications, research, and leadership development. We also advance these issues through a variety of non-grantmaking strategies including fiscal sponsorship of a stellar collection of progressive initiatives. Today, we are a $40 million organization supporting a total of 29 programs and initiatives.

The vision of the Piper Fund is a healthy democracy that works for everyone. Piper is a donor collaborative of the Proteus Fund that joins foundations and individuals in setting and implementing a national strategy aimed at protecting and strengthening democracy. We are a national leader in addressing the corrosive influence of money and special interests on our democracy, protecting and advancing judicial independence, and protecting the right to protest.

The Organization

NCFP was founded in 1997 to meet the needs of philanthropic families, their staff, and advisors. It was a nascent time for the field. Organizations serving philanthropists were not common. Donor advised funds were not ubiquitous. NCFP was instrumental in organizing and building a base of knowledge to support the development of a now recognized field of family philanthropy.

Today, the field of philanthropy is crowded with consultants, financial advisors, membership organizations, formal geography or issue-based giving vehicles, and academic centers. Over the past few years, the pace of change in external context has rapidly accelerated as the field reckons with national disruption, the effects of climate change, health crises and long-standing structural inequities. Family philanthropy is confronted with a world where justice-minded and effective social impact investment requires proximity to communities that philanthropists aim to serve and learn from. Younger generations are more frequently contemplating the intersections of critical societal problems, like the effect climate change has on communities of color and their range of economic mobility.

Under these conditions, NCFP is called to respond to its community of family philanthropists with support that is agile, evolving, and increasingly co-created by stakeholders and partners in the field.

Position Overview

The National Center for Family Philanthropy (NCFP) invites nominations and applications for a Chief of Organizational Effectiveness and Culture (COEC). In partnership with visionary philanthropic families, NCFP activates and equips a diverse community of philanthropic families to embrace a bold vision and realize their greatest potential. Over the last two years, NCFP has refreshed its strategic direction to support families to be more intentional, effective, and values-based in their philanthropy. As the third member of its executive leadership team, the Chief of Organizational Effectiveness and Culture will build out systems, practices, and policies that will promote the health and success of the organization and nurture an innovative, inclusive culture of learning and improvement.

NCFP is in the second year of implementing a new internal staffing structure and shifting operations to support implementation of its strategic plan. As part of this shift, the new role of Chief of Organizational Effectiveness and Culture will take the lead in creating and implementing an overall strategy to help teams, managers, and individuals become more aligned and effective in their roles. NCFP seeks a dynamic leader to oversee NCFP performance management, planning and learning, financial management, and operations. They will manage information flow, integrate and connect teams, support effective governance, and implement organizational best practices using an equity lens. The successful candidate will bring a broad toolkit of skills and experience in organizational design, systems and data/information management, change management, performance management, and human-centered policies and practices that support organizational effectiveness and agility in highly dynamic times.

They will be a strong listener, communicator, and bridger who can integrate NCFP values, including an equity lens, into NCFP operations to help bring about meaningful change. Reporting to the CEO, Nick Tedesco, the COEC will act as an internal consultant and thought partner, holding staff and teams accountable and aligned with overall organization-wide vision and goals. They will nurture a culture of continuous learning at all levels. They will maintain a holistic view of teams’ work while building relationships to gain insight into opportunities for staff and Board development, and potential barriers to success.

The National Center for Family Philanthropy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. It is the policy of NCFP to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, status, citizenship, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by law. NCFP prohibits any such discrimination or harassment.

The salary range for this position is $150,000 – 180,000 plus benefits, which include paid vacation; 10 holidays; new parent leave; 100% employee premium paid for medical/dental/vision insurance; 5% retirement contribution; short and long-term disability and life insurance; and professional development.

The Organization

MISSION AND ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND
Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies refers collectively to two grantmaking entities, Margaret A. Cargill Foundation (MACF) and Anne Ray Foundation (ARF). The two foundations have separate, but overlapping boards and investment portfolios and share a common mission of providing meaningful assistance and support to society, the arts, and the environment.

• Margaret A. Cargill Foundation is a private foundation that came into existence upon Ms. Cargill’s death in August 2006. MACF’s assets are approximately $3.5 billion.
• Anne Ray Foundation is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. ARF’s assets are approximately $5 billion.

MACP’s well-developed Philosophy of Grantmaking underscores the values and guiding principles of Margaret A. Cargill by: using education and innovation as a means to achieve core purposes; empowering people to be self-sufficient; maintaining a low profile while meeting the needs of others; supporting programs that could have a broad impact, have socially redeeming values and standards, and that value life; and relieving suffering in times of disaster. As a core element of its philosophy, MACP invests in long-term relationships with key grantee organizations in order to find solutions that are consistent with the values of both parties toward a goal of lasting community level impact. This is further reinforced in the MACP 2025 Strategic Vision and Goals, which is organized into three key goals:

• We are demonstrating lasting community impact and learning with our partners and from our program strategies.
• We are developing and utilizing diverse talents and knowledge.
• We have systems, processes, and practices that effectively support our collective work.

MACP began its formal diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) journey with efforts to deepen learning, better understand core concepts, and develop intercultural competence. More recently, multiple crises have resulted in a sense of urgency around longstanding and systemic issues of racism and inequity, accelerating MACP’s work on these issues across its organization. To advance this work, MACP developed, revised, and adopted its Vision Statement in December 2021 to provide a framework to guide its shared efforts. MACP’s DEIJ work is owned by everyone at MACP, and all are part of a shared journey to be effective in our work and achieve the impact we seek.

Position Profile

The Program Officer, Youth Camping & Swimming, is responsible for supporting the development, implementation, and management of the Youth Camping & Swimming program of the Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies’ Quality of Life domain. This position operates under the supervision of the Quality of Life Program Director and works in collaboration with other domain and program team members and other MACP staff in supporting and managing an effective grantmaking program to support the strategic content and desired impact for the Youth Camping & Swimming program.

The overall goal for the Youth Camping & Swimming program is to significantly increase the number of youth who experience high-quality out-of-school time enrichment, specifically overnight camping and water safety programs, in order to provide affirming and safe exposure to nature and to build leadership, character, and community.

Margaret Cargill enjoyed the great outdoors and wanted all children to have camping and swimming opportunities. MACP’s Youth Camping & Swimming program recognizes there are many barriers that prevent youth from accessing camping and swimming experiences and strives to improve access, inclusion, and program quality in collaboration with our grantee partners. We are especially interested in improving access, inclusion, and belonging for historically marginalized youth in these spaces, including youth from families with low income, youth from communities of color, youth who identify as LGBTQ+, and youth with disabilities. The program has a national focus in the United States.

Across all programs, MACP supports work in and with communities focused on developing solutions that deliver effective, sustainable programs that improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations. The Quality of Life domain has a broad goal of supporting life’s journey at vulnerable stages for children, young adults, families, and older adults.

Following the tragic shooting of 19 people in Tucson, Arizona, five funders, led by The Joyce Foundation, created the Fund for a Safer Future. FSF is a project of New Venture Fund (NVF), a 501(c)(3) public charity that incubates new and innovative public-interest projects and grant-making programs. Since its inception, more than 30 funders have contributed and collectively disbursed more than $15 million to gun violence prevention (GVP) work nationwide. In addition, funders have contributed $107 million in aligned grantmaking in the field outside of the Fund.
