The Organization

Our nation depends on nonprofits to address the most significant social issues of our time, yet chronically underinvests in leaders. At the Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP), we transform communities by equipping the most promising social impact leaders – nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise – with the skills, networks, confidence, and resources they need to effectively lead, advance justice, and make their organizations more effective, innovative, and sustainable.

Position Overview

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) is pleased to invite nominations and applications for its Managing Director, Black Leadership Institute position. INP transforms communities by equipping the most promising social impact leaders – nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise – with the skills, networks, confidence, and resources they need to effectively lead, advance justice, and make their organizations more effective, innovative, and sustainable.

Since its founding in 2007, INP has sought to advance organizational effectiveness while closing historic racial and gender gaps in leadership, ensuring that the social impact sector reflects the strengths and diversity of communities served. Building on the social, knowledge, and financial capital of student leaders, INP seeks to create a transformed and thriving social impact sector, driven by effective nonprofits and community organizations with strong and diverse leadership across all levels—from staff and managers to executives and board members. Operating in nine cities across the country, INP trains thousands of leaders annually through the Core Certificate Program, Community Fellows Program, RISE Fellowship, Summer Program, and the Leadership Learning Series, all deeply rooted in the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. More on INP’s program offerings can be found here.

As part of its efforts to grow and scale its programs and impact, INP publicly announced in December 2021 the creation of the Black Leadership Institute (BLI) in response to the ongoing systemic racism and oppression experienced by the Black community. The BLI program seeks to connect, inspire, and uplift Black leaders in the social sector and actively contribute to the building of Black power, influence, and wealth. Through transformative programming, BLI supports Black leaders with the resources, network, content, and community needed to build upon their social, financial, knowledge, and cultural capital as they step into positions of greater power and influence.

In its first year, BLI will recruit at least 20-30 Black leaders who are leading in fields or on issues with significant outcome disparities for Black people, i.e., incarceration and recidivism, health and health care, environmental justice, poverty, and education. The inaugural national cohort will be comprised of four to five smaller, local cohorts located in Founding Communities across the country, allowing Fellows to develop strong local and national bonds of shared commitment, support, and purpose. The program is expected to grow to at least 10 cities over the next 3 years. The program includes:

• 18 months of programming, including 12 months of in-person regional convenings and virtual sessions with the full national cohort, followed by 6 months of executive coaching.
• Two in-person retreats (pending travel restrictions) to locations of significance to the Black experience in the U.S. and to the creation of greater Black power as we look towards the future.
• Sessions that anchor on critical topics that enable Black leaders to identify and implement new strategies to build power and greater influence in their communities. Fellows will explore multiple forms of power, currency, and exchange looking through the lenses of social, financial, knowledge, and cultural capital.
• A focus on cultivating joy and renewal through a pedagogy grounded in deep personal connection, community building, mindfulness, and the intersection of self-awareness and leadership.
• A strengthening and building of local and national cross-sector networks.

The Managing Director of BLI will lead this exciting and transformative new program through its early stages, acting as its ambassador, strategist, recruiter, co-designer, and builder of key relationships – with funders and potential participants alike. They will thrive in the external elements of this role while not losing sight of the key internal projects and deadlines that will keep BLI’s development and programmatic delivery on track.

Success in this role will require someone who is:

• A visionary strategic leader, able to articulate and communicate a clear and compelling vision for the programmatic work of BLI that draws in new partners, supporters, and participants.
• An exceptional relationship builder with strong national networks who can increase excitement, rapport, trust, and transparency across a diverse and growing community of robust, passionate, talented stakeholders.
• A highly effective bridge builder who has experience with growing a leadership development program from the ground up.
• An effective collaborator who will partner with INP staff, leadership, and other constituents to shape and integrate this new program fully into the INP enterprise.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FACING THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The Managing Director will join an extraordinary team of staff and faculty at INP who are committed to catalyzing and resourcing social change by investing in and connecting Black social impact leaders across the nation and amplifying their work and their influence. INP is in a period of growth and scaling, and the Black Leadership Institute is a key element of this growth.

The Managing Director will lead on executing strategies for impact, leveraging the success of BLI to position INP as a leader and pioneer in the field.

• Build on the long-term strategic vision of BLI; design and refine programmatic strategies needed to integrate and scale the organization’s programs and solidify its reputation on the national stage.
• Effectively attract nationally prominent speakers and highly effective coaches and mentors to the program to ensure students access to a best-in-class experience.
