Position Overview

SURDNA FOUNDATION

The Program Associate will report directly to the Program Director for the Inclusive Economies Program on a three-person team that also includes the Program Officer for Inclusive Economies.            

 

The Surdna Foundation

Created by John E. Andrus in 1917, the Surdna Foundation has assets of more than $1 billion and an annual grantmaking budget of more than $40 million. The Foundation has a staff of 25, based in its Midtown Manhattan offices. The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors that includes fourth- and fifth-generation Andrus family members, as well as non-family board members. The Surdna Foundation seeks to foster just and sustainable communities in the United States, communities guided by principles of social justice and distinguished by healthy environments, inclusive economies, and thriving cultures.  

 

As one of the oldest family foundations in the country, Surdna is dedicated to ensuring our strategies reflect our longtime commitment to the values of justice, equity, and inclusion.  

Furthermore, our ongoing commitment to learning requires constantly examining our own assumptions and having continuous conversations internally and with organizations on the frontlines tackling society’s biggest challenges.  

 

Building on the successes of our ongoing work, we recently set out to examine and refine our program strategies for three reasons:  

  • First, to ensure we are being as effective as possible with our valuable, but limited, resources. 
  • Second, to identify shared goals across all of our programs to unite our work and foster collaboration. 
  • Third, to fulfill our commitment to social justice and a culture of learning.  

 

As part of the strategy-refinement process, we developed an organizational theory of change to: 

  • Articulate the Foundation’s high-level vision for the change we seek to achieve; 
  • Unite our programs across shared goals; and 
  • Identify guideposts to evaluate our work and ensure that all of the Foundation’s efforts—from program-related investments to grantmaking and other initiatives—are demonstrating progress towards these institutional outcomes.   

 

Our theory of change is based on three assumptions: 

  • First, that historical and structural racial inequities are at the root of the deeply embedded challenges that communities face across America.  
  • Second, that advancing racial equity and addressing power imbalances are critical to solving these challenges and to achieving a more just and sustainable society.   
  • And, third, that the best way to address racial inequities and power imbalances is to honor the agency of individuals and communities that are most impacted by injustices. These individuals should be regarded as experts in creating solutions to the systemic issues we aim to solve.  

 

Working from these assumptions, Surdna believes that we can achieve a more just and sustainable society by directing our resources towards grantmaking portfolios that achieve the following three institutional outcomes: 

  • Democratic Participation: Supporting communities of color and low-wealth communities to utilize their decision-making and political power to enable self-determination. 
  • Building Wealth: Catalyzing capital to support communities of color and low-wealth communities in their efforts to build and sustain wealth, in all its forms, and economic power to achieve a more just and sustainable society. 
  • Building Accountability: Investing in the capacity of communities of color and low-wealth communities to hold policymakers and institutions accountable to ensure all community benefits are shared equitably. 

The Inclusive Economies Program
The Inclusive Economies Program is working to foster the creation of an inclusive and equitable economy in which people of color can maximize their potential as leaders, creators, and innovators across sectors. The program seeks to usher in a new economy – a new era of economic growth that is just and equitable – by focusing our grantmaking on efforts that (1) support the development and scaling of businesses owned by people of color, and (2) increase accountability and community voice in economic development planning, policy, and practice. To achieve these goals, Inclusive Economies will invest in two complementary program strategies that are centered on people and systems change: Business Start Up and Growth and Equitable Economic Development.

The Inclusive Economies Program’s goals are to:

  1. 1.     Business Start Up and Growth: Foster a more inclusive economy that is driven by greater representation of businesses owned by people of color. We envision these companies to be enterprises that are scalable or seeded in high-growth industries. We believe that with secured growth capital these business founders will flourish to create jobs, establish themselves as industry leaders, and shape the future of the economy.
  2. 2.     Equitable Economic Development: Help ensure that the benefits of economic development strategies accrue to communities of color and lower-income populations. We envision more cities and regions that incorporate higher labor and accountability standards into their economic development practices. These standards will establish checks and balances between the public/private sectors and communities that have historically been disconnected from economic development planning and policy.

 

Overview and Responsibilities:

The Inclusive Economies Program Associate plays a key role in managing the day-to-day grantmaking activities of a three-person team composed of the Program Director, a Program Officer, and the Program Associate.

Deputy Director for Programs and Strategy, National Collaborative for Health Equity

The Organization

The National Collaborative for Health Equity (NCHE), a project of New Venture Fund, is guided by a mission to promote health equity by fostering racial healing and equity, harnessing data, developing leaders, and catalyzing partnerships across the many different sectors that share responsibility for creating a more equitable and just society. Recognizing that action, leadership, and collaboration are the basis for driving policy decisions, NCHE strives to connect people most impacted by social and racial injustices and to transform systems and institutions built on the enduring legacy of racism, particularly its less visible but more insidious–structural manifestations. In doing so, we strive to improve the health, well-being, and life opportunities for communities of color.

Founded in 2014, NCHE was established to promote health equity through action, leadership, inclusion, and collaboration. Health equity, in our view, requires creating the conditions that foster the best possible health for all populations, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or nativity. It requires us to actively measure and improve conditions for health and well-being, including those related to housing, education, income and wealth, and the physical and social environment. And it requires us to correct historic and contemporary injustices and inequities in these dimensions that are often brought about by racism operating at structural, institutional, and interpersonal levels. NCHE’s work is guided by the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation framework (TRHT), a comprehensive, national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the history and contemporary effects of racism, envisioned by Dr. Gail Christopher, Executive Director of NCHE.

At a pivotal moment of growth, NCHE now seeks a Deputy Director for Programs and Strategy to provide high-level leadership to NCHE’s programs and strategy, lead NCHE’s partnerships and organizational alliances, and serve as an external representative and advocate for NCHE.

Partnership Building, Fund Development & External Representation

The Deputy Director will play a critical role in cultivating relationships with new and existing partners across the field to develop shared resources, partnerships, and opportunities for collaboration.
