Position Overview

The next CEO of Mutual Ground will have the opportunity to capitalize on the strong reputation and recognition and lead the organization into its next chapter.

In the immediate future, the blending of the two organizational cultures, while being on two separate campuses, and building community within the organization will be a priority for the next CEO.

Mutual Ground seeks an inspiring, empowering and innovative proven leader with a demonstrated passion for our mission and a deep appreciation of, respect for and commitment to helping those affected by domestic violence, sexual violence and substance use disorder.  The next CEO will assure that the organization has a long-range strategy and achieves its mission, and toward which it makes consistent and timely progress. This executive will lead the design of effective growth strategies including program expansion, recruitment and retention of high-quality staff, diversification, identifying and seeking federal/state grants, building strong community partnerships and participating in active fundraising and endowment building.

Valuing diversity, equity and inclusion and demonstrating those values through all aspects of this leader’s work will be critical to this role. Being a strong advocate for the organization, the staff and themselves will be highly valued. A collaborative style, servant leadership mindset, dynamic personal presence, natural optimism, humility, good listening skills and a sense of humor are important personal attributes we seek.

A master’s degree is highly preferred. Demonstration of continuing professional education, accreditation in a professional field and/or nonprofit board leadership would be highly desirable. The successful candidate would be expected to obtain their Certified Domestic Violence Professional (CDVP) certification, their 60-hour training to meet ICADV and ICASA standards and the DCFS mandated reporter training and certificate will need to be acquired within one year of hire and maintain the certification.

The Opportunity
Position: The ELCA Foundation President and CEO
Location: Chicago, IL
Reporting Relationship: The Board of Trustees of the ELCA Foundation
Website: https://foundation.elca.org/

Position
The ELCA Foundation, with $1 billion in assets under management, is a mission-critical separately incorporated ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that offers, promotes, administers, and oversees endowment, deferred giving, life income, and similar planned giving programs for individual donors, congregations, synods, the churchwide organization, and related institutions and agencies in support of ELCA ministries.

The Foundation’s Board of Trustees seek an experienced and inspirational leader to implement its ambitious strategic vision to grow a culture of intentional generosity and financial stewardship among the 3,000,000 members of the ELCA. By enhancing gifting capacity and professionally stewarding resources in collaboration with all the expressions of the Church, the Foundation seeks to substantially increase its assets under management over the next five years in order to support and sustain ELCA ministries.

There are four key priorities to be addressed in enabling this vision: 1) stabilizing and strengthening organizational infrastructure to deliver best in class services to the current client base and prepare the Foundation for future growth; 2) align investment asset management strategies to support growth and meet client demands; 3) determine the optimal fund raising structure to maximize opportunities for increasing assets under management, with the core planned giving services; and 4) work collaboratively within the broader ELCA community to strengthen the awareness of and confidence in the Foundation as the preferred partner for managing individual, congregational and partner assets.

The ideal candidate will understand the privileged position of the Foundation within the broader Lutheran community as the multiple expressions of the ELCA work to support the faith communities of 3,000,000 members. The candidate will work collaboratively with the ELCA, its Conference of Bishops and all its separately incorporated ministries. The candidate should have the skill and experience to think and act wholistically across lines of individual responsibility as the work of the Foundation impacts the work of the church, congregations, synods, agencies, and institutions. The ELCA executes annual fundraising for specific mission critical works and campaigns, separate from the Foundation. The Foundation and ELCA work closely together on resource development, and share information services, and other administrative resources. A willingness to acknowledge and embrace a matrix organizational relationship and work within and across ministries will be essential.

The ELCA Foundation
The ELCA Foundation (Foundation) offers opportunities for congregations and institutions of the ELCA to invest in its Ministry Growth Fund, and provides for the accounting, administration and financial reporting of assets and activities. The Foundation is governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees with separate committees for Investments, Audit, Marketing & Development, Finance and Governance.

• The Foundation’s vision is to achieve a thriving ministry that develops a culture of intentional generosity and financial stewardship to expand the work of the ELCA.
• The Foundation’s mission is: To support and sustain ELCA ministries by enhancing gifting capacity and stewarding resources.

In alignment with this mission, the Foundation raises long term assets, oversees its investments, manages, and stewards these funds according to the purposes of its stakeholders: investors, synods and congregations. The ELCA Foundation does not independently distribute grants to charitable or mission-based causes; it acts as a fiduciary to ensure that the distribution of income is directed to its designated purpose.

The ELCA Foundation President and CEO is responsible for enabling a seamless execution of the Foundation’s responsibilities under Chapter 17.60 of ELCA’s Constitution and By-Laws and related Continuing Resolution. The President/CEO is responsible for establishing an efficient and effective Foundation infrastructure; hiring and managing staff; overseeing the investment, management and reporting of assets entrusted to the Foundation’s care; ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulatory requirements; and growing assets under management to advance the ELCA mission.

The Organization

The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area (CFHZ) seeks to ensure that its community thrives, by building its Community’s Endowment to support high impact charitable projects, helping donors achieve their charitable goals, and leading and partnering in community-level initiatives.

CFHZ serves as a charitable vehicle that creates lasting, positive change in the Holland/Zeeland area. It currently stewards $120M in philanthropic assets representing 685 individual funds established over the last 70 years by a diverse group of individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations. Each of these funds fit into two broad categories – 165 Community Endowment Funds totaling $30M in assets and 520 Donor Service funds totaling $90M in assets. Annually, the Foundation awards more than $10M in grants and receives more than $12M in incoming gifts, with 90% of incoming gifts and outgoing grants coming from Donor Service Funds, and 10% coming from Community’s Endowment funds.

CFHZ also serves as a leader, convener, and collaborator with businesses, government, and nonprofits in the region on some of the most critical issues affecting the community. In the past, CFHZ has been a critical partner in advancing housing affordability in the region, launching an early childhood initiative, and playing a key role in many COVID response efforts.

Position Overview

The Foundation seeks a President/CEO who demonstrates a strong ability to raise community awareness of and to clearly articulate the innovative vision and direction of the Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland. Words that describe the next leader are ethical, passionate, visionary, relationship builder, empathetic, diplomatic yet authentic.

The person is a self-starter who pursues, cultivates, and enjoys building and maintaining strong and authentic donor and stakeholder relationships. This person must be able to engender trust and empathy and relate to donors in a highly professional, honest, and caring manner. Grantmaking experience is a plus, but at a minimum, the President/CEO must be analytical and able to see the pros and cons of various programs seeking to improve the community.

The ability to communicate exceptionally well in oral and written form is necessary for success in this position. As the key spokesperson for CFHZ, this person must be able to speak extemporaneously and appropriately on any number of subjects in a clear and transparent fashion to build trust and support.

The President/CEO must be a strategic and visionary leader who embraces progress and is open to examining different views and ways of working together. This individual must understand the potential of the Foundation to leverage its financial, social, and reputational capital towards building a thriving community for the present and future. The next leader will be committed to engaging a variety of opinions and perspectives on community issues.

The qualified candidate must demonstrate success in reaching out to the community, building authentic relationships with people of diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, and listening to and building rapport with those who have varying viewpoints and perceptions. Experience convening people sharing disparate interests and concerns – so that the aspirations and goals of CFHZ are pursued in a collegial, transparent, and highly participatory manner – is essential.

High integrity and sound judgment are essential to success in this role. Strong financial acumen is a highly desired skill with the knowledge of complex charitable giving instruments, charitable tax law, and institutional investment strategy being a plus. A strong affinity for the community is important and existing relationships and connections to the region are beneficial.

Career experience in a top leadership position in a community foundation is highly desirable. However, an understanding of the community foundation’s organizational and financial model is expected. Leading and empowering a highly competent staff and a dedicated, committed Board are needed skills as well. Energy, natural optimism, the ability to be a good listener and a quick learner are important personal attributes. A sense of humor and humility are also valued.

The ideal candidate will show a high level of participation in the life of the community by virtue of civic involvement, public service, volunteerism, or social activities. A Bachelor’s degree is required. Advanced and continuing education/certification is a plus.

All are welcomed and encouraged to apply.  The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area will provide equal employment opportunity and not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, citizenship status, religion, height, weight, veteran status, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other status protected by law.

The salary range for this position is between $160,000 and $180,000 and will be commensurate with experience. CFHZ also offers a comprehensive benefits package. The successful candidate is required to relocate to or reside in the Holland/Zeeland area.

Each of these funds fit into two broad categories – 165 Community Endowment Funds totaling $30M in assets and 520 Donor Service funds totaling $90M in assets. Annually, the Foundation awards more than $10M in grants and receives more than $12M in incoming gifts, with 90% of incoming gifts and outgoing grants coming from Donor Service Funds, and 10% coming from Community’s Endowment funds.

CFHZ also serves as a leader, convener, and collaborator with businesses, government, and nonprofits in the region on some of the most critical issues affecting the community. In the past, CFHZ has been a critical partner in advancing housing affordability in the region, launching an early childhood initiative, and playing a key role in many COVID response efforts.

Position Overview

The Foundation seeks a President/CEO who demonstrates a strong ability to raise community awareness of and to clearly articulate the innovative vision and direction of the Community Foundation of Holland/Zeeland. Words that describe the next leader are ethical, passionate, visionary, relationship builder, empathetic, diplomatic yet authentic.

The person is a self-starter who pursues, cultivates, and enjoys building and maintaining strong and authentic donor and stakeholder relationships. This person must be able to engender trust and empathy and relate to donors in a highly professional, honest, and caring manner. Grantmaking experience is a plus, but at a minimum, the President/CEO must be analytical and able to see the pros and cons of various programs seeking to improve the community.

The ability to communicate exceptionally well in oral and written form is necessary for success in this position. As the key spokesperson for CFHZ, this person must be able to speak extemporaneously and appropriately on any number of subjects in a clear and transparent fashion to build trust and support.

The President/CEO must be a strategic and visionary leader who embraces progress and is open to examining different views and ways of working together. This individual must understand the potential of the Foundation to leverage its financial, social, and reputational capital towards building a thriving community for the present and future. The next leader will be committed to engaging a variety of opinions and perspectives on community issues.

The qualified candidate must demonstrate success in reaching out to the community, building authentic relationships with people of diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, and listening to and building rapport with those who have varying viewpoints and perceptions. Experience convening people sharing disparate interests and concerns – so that the aspirations and goals of CFHZ are pursued in a collegial, transparent, and highly participatory manner – is essential.

High integrity and sound judgment are essential to success in this role. Strong financial acumen is a highly desired skill with the knowledge of complex charitable giving instruments, charitable tax law, and institutional investment strategy being a plus. A strong affinity for the community is important and existing relationships and connections to the region are beneficial.

Career experience in a top leadership position in a community foundation is highly desirable. However, an understanding of the community foundation’s organizational and financial model is expected. Leading and empowering a highly competent staff and a dedicated, committed Board are needed skills as well. Energy, natural optimism, the ability to be a good listener and a quick learner are important personal attributes. A sense of humor and humility are also valued.

The ideal candidate will show a high level of participation in the life of the community by virtue of civic involvement, public service, volunteerism, or social activities. A Bachelor’s degree is required. Advanced and continuing education/certification is a plus.

All are welcomed and encouraged to apply.  The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area will provide equal employment opportunity and not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, citizenship status, religion, height, weight, veteran status, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other status protected by law.

The salary range for this position is between $160,000 and $180,000 and will be commensurate with experience. CFHZ also offers a comprehensive benefits package. The successful candidate is required to relocate to or reside in the Holland/Zeeland area.

ABOUT THE DAVID AND LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION
We work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. Over our nearly 60-year history, we have worked with thousands of organizations and leaders in the U.S. and worldwide to advance progress in the critical areas of science, ocean and land conservation, climate change, women’s reproductive health and rights, and the well-being of children, families, and communities. At a time of multiple, intertwined crises globally and here in the U.S., the Packard Foundation began in 2021 a long-planned review of our grantmaking strategies. The first step of our process was to rearticulate our vision and mission, reexamine our organizational values, and create a strategic framework that builds on and honors the Packard Foundation’s past while advancing justice and equity in all that we do.

OUR VISION: A just and equitable world where both people and nature flourish.  

Our new vision embraces a future where both people and nature flourish in a more just and equitable world. We explicitly acknowledge that the fate of people and the natural environment are inextricably linked. Solutions to the complex challenges we face must account for this interconnectedness.

Our new mission takes on the critical work of addressing root causes of the challenges we face and mobilizing people for collective action. In addition to building on approaches that have guided our philanthropy for decades — working in partnership, committing to issues over the long-term, and grounding our work in science, knowledge, and data – we focus on understanding the systems that either accelerate or impede progress. It is only through just and equitable systems that we can find and sustain solutions to some of the biggest challenges we face today.

OUR VALUES: Equity, Integrity, Belief in Individual Leadership, Thinking Big, Respect, and Effectiveness. 

In addition to clarifying our long-held values, we added equity. We will champion equity by treating people with dignity, honoring a range of ideas and perspectives from those closest to the issues, creating inclusive processes, and funding people who have been historically excluded to spur progress for all.  For more information, including our definitions of key concepts, please visit our website.

It has never been more vital to break the cycle of poverty and provide equal access to opportunities.

The demand for BBBS services has never been greater. This organization is an essential asset in the Milwaukee community, strengthening the networks of services available to vulnerable families.  Research proves that one-on-one mentoring fosters developmental, educational, and lifelong success in youth.  BBBS will need to be creative and inventive in its programs in the new post-Covid world.

Since its beginnings in 2002, the Collaboration for Early Childhood (the Collab) has embraced the vision that all children should arrive at kindergarten safe, healthy, ready to succeed and eager to learn. The Collab’s focus has always been on how much impact the organization could have on the youngest among us in the community.

Position Overview

The Executive Director of the Collaboration for Early Childhood will be provided the opportunity to substantially shape the long-term future of this highly accomplished, regionally recognized early education organization with a trusted reputation, dedicated staff and an engaged Board of Directors. Specifically, the Executive Director will be charged with taking the organization into its next phase of organizational life.

The Collab’s next Executive Director will have the opportunity to leverage the organization’s expanded influence and funding, potentially beyond the state of Illinois. The Executive Director will enhance the organization’s advocacy profile and will help shape a policy agenda for early learning.  He/She/They will help expand the organization’s opportunities for revenue generation, diversification, and strategic partnerships. Most significantly, the Collab will continue to serve as one of the state’s primary thought leaders in early childhood education.

This next leader will continue to deepen relationships with the local schools, PTOs, Village management, the business community and healthcare providers. The ED will help move the organization towards being a more professionalized, mature nonprofit by continuing to support the Board and their goal to transition from being a working board (doing) to a governing board (vision, oversight).

The chief executive will be supported by a motivated, dedicated 14-member board seeking to build upon a strong foundation and advance our effectiveness, impact and influence with ambition. The budget for 2023 is $1.9 million.

The Collab has been thoughtful about their organizational journey around diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility through the lens of early childhood education. There is an ever-growing appreciation for health equity, racial justice and the new conversations and collaborations that may bring new opportunities and deeper impact.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director provides leadership and direction in fulfilling and advancing the vision, mission, values and goals of the Collaboration. The Executive Director is responsible for leading the Collab in achieving its operational and strategic goals including successful performance on the Contract for Services with the Village of Oak Park and School Districts 97 and 200; donor development and grant seeking; program development and operations; fiscal management; board relations; human capital management; data collection and analysis; and administrative matters.

The next Executive Director will be an experienced, visionary leader with progressive leadership experience and a passion for the unique mission and vision of the Collaboration for Early Childhood. This person will bring to the Collaboration demonstrated accomplishments in working successfully and respectfully in racially, ethnically and economically diverse settings to achieve practices and partnerships that dismantle structural inequities and increase inclusion.

He/She/They will have prior management experience, preferably in nonprofit management and/or collective impact leadership, and will have analytical, organizational and problem-solving skills that support sound decision-making.  Strong business, financial and organizational knowledge will be evidenced by a proven ability to set clear priorities, delegate and guide the investment of human and other resources to help achieve goals.

The minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required, though a master’s or advanced degree is preferred.  Evidence of continuing education, certification and executive level training is desirable.

The salary range for this position is between $120,000 and $140,000 and will be commensurable with experience. The Collab offers a comprehensive benefits package, including but not limited to 12 paid holidays, vacation days and group health insurance, as well as a retirement plan.

It is the policy of the Collaboration to afford equal employment opportunities regardless of actual or perceived race, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, religion, marital status, disability, sex, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or veteran status, order of protection status, genetic information, or any other category protected by applicable law.

The Organization

Founded in 2019, The Appellate Project is the first organization focused on empowering law students of color to become the next generation of attorneys and judges in our highest courts.

Appellate attorneys and judges make decisions that affect all aspects of our personal lives: our ability to vote, how we are policed, our religious freedom, the quality of our education, our workplaces, healthcare, immigration protections, and much more.

Although many appellate decisions disproportionately impact communities of color, people of color remain greatly underrepresented as both attorneys and judges in our highest courts. TAP’s mission is to change that. Learn more at www.theappellateproject.org.

As the organization’s fifth full-time staff member, this individual will set the vision and strategy to secure funding from public and private philanthropic sources towards a $1M+ annual budget.

The Organization

The Northwest Area Foundation (NWAF) supports efforts by the people, organizations, and communities of their eight-state region to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable prosperity. This region includes Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and 76 Native Nations. The vision that drives them is that the people of their priority communities—including Native Americans, communities of color, immigrants and refugees, and people in rural areas—thrive on their own terms. They imagine and build for a future in which their region’s rich culture of engagement and opportunity makes it a prized place to visit, to invest and to live, and where all residents have a fair chance to live free of poverty.

As we all emerge changed from the recent and ongoing crises – a pandemic, economic turmoil, the upsurge for racial justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, and mounting pressures on NWAF’s priority communities – the Foundation continues to deepen its commitment to supporting grantee-led change. Internally, they have made measurable progress to strengthen internal equity-centered systems designed to support a deeply engaged staff and build inclusive culture and belonging, and they now seek a new Director of People and Culture to continue that evolution and promote organizational effectiveness. In addition to managing all aspects of the human resources function for the foundation, the Director will be a member of the senior leadership team, guiding organization-wide decision-making and holding responsibility for designing and sustaining a people-centered environment that reflects the Foundation’s mission, vision, values, and strategy.

NWAF is a private foundation established in 1934 by Louis W. Hill, son of the railroad entrepreneur James J. Hill, whose Great Northern Railway linked the Minnesota’s Twin Cities to the emerging cities of the Pacific Northwest, Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. Currently, its assets are near $500MM, annual budget is around $25MM, and its staff consists of 20+ people. NWAF’s values distill not just who they are, but who they aspire to be, in decisions both big and small. The six organizational values are: social justice, courage, grantees come first, listen and learn for change, heart, and trust. NWAF is committed to hiring individuals who contribute to a richly diverse workplace. Their hiring decisions are guided by their commitment to support their grantees, who work to build the entrepreneurial spirit, strong community ties, and untapped potential within Native nations, communities of color, rural communities, and other resilient communities who have fewer opportunities to thrive on their own terms.

This position will be hybrid with in-person time in the office required a few days a week.

Position Overview

The Opportunity

Crankstart is seeking an equity-centered strategic leader to serve as a Senior Program Officer (SPO) leading Crankstart’s work focused on democracy (voting engagement, voting rights, criminal justice and immigration) and climate (greenhouse gas emissions and environment-related problems disproportionately affecting local low-income communities). The SPO will function as a high-level individual contributor and people manager. The role oversees two bodies of work:

Democracy. The SPO will lead Crankstart’s democracy funding strategies and grantmaking focused on voting engagement and voting rights, criminal justice and immigration. Crankstart’s historic voting work has been national in nature while much of our immigration work is focused within the Bay Area and California. Our work intends to generate the conditions and support the leaders needed to help democracy become a system for the people and by the people. This means building a strong and engaged multiracial electorate that expands the rights and secures justice for those who have been sidelined.

Climate. The SPO will lead Crankstart’s climate funding strategy and oversee related grants. In this newer portfolio, the SPO will look to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address environment-related problems disproportionately affecting local low-income communities. Current areas of interest include enabling a faster transition to good, green jobs, enabling innovation for sustainable production and distribution of food and protecting nature to mitigate climate change.

The SPO will spend about 80% of their time, effort and resources on democracy and 20% on climate work.

The Senior Program Officer shapes and oversees multiple grant portfolios within the democracy and climate strategy. You lead ongoing development, prioritization, and implementation of discrete funding activities to further the impact of our grantee partners. You collaborate with other senior leaders to maintain strategic and organizational alignment across issue areas and oversee and delegate projects to program officers to ensure our grantmaking processes are running smoothly for everyone involved. You identify and meet with organizations, conduct due diligence, and make funding recommendations to your team and the Board. You ensure Crankstart is always listening to and learning from our grantee partners and other community leaders.

We are looking for an individual with: 1) substantive leadership experience in one of the following areas: voting, criminal justice, and/or immigration, along with a strong interest in climate; 2) a track record of improving the outcomes of historically marginalized communities; and 3) a strong ability to break down system-level problems to a set of levers that can be addressed through philanthropic strategies.

The SPO will report to Crankstart’s Managing Director of Programs. The role is based in the San Francisco Bay Area; this is not a remote position.

Qualifications

• You are hungry to make a difference and recognize that big and small tasks alike add value.
• You are passionate about supporting and uplifting the work of nonprofit and community leaders in San Francisco and Oakland.
• You have 10+ years of professional experience in various roles across the voting, criminal justice, immigration and/or climate ecosystem and across sectors (e.g., nonprofit, public, private, etc.).
• You have 2+ years of experience in a senior leadership role, including managing teams.
• You have a track record of improving outcomes for historically marginalized communities— from setting clear goals to monitoring progress to attaining ambitious targets.

The Organization

Since 1982, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF) has been fighting to eliminate HIV transmission and to improve the quality and length of lives for people living with HIV. While progress has been substantial, their work is far from complete. SFAF envisions a future where health justice is achieved for all people living with or at risk for HIV. Ultimately, they strive for a day when race is not a barrier to health and wellness, substance use is not stigmatized, HIV status does not determine quality of life, and HIV transmission is eliminated.

SFAF promotes health, wellness, and social justice for communities most impacted by HIV through sexual health and substance use services, advocacy, and community partnerships. Their work is organized into five interconnected program areas: sexual health, substance use and behavioral health, engagement and retention, social support, and policy and public education.

Their strategic plan includes an articulation of its five key values, which are the foundation for its work and its employees:  Justice, Dignity, Courage, Leadership, and Excellence. They are calling on passionate agents of social change, vanguards of public health, and practitioners of racial justice to join their fight.

The work of SFAF is built around the needs of communities experiencing sexual health and substance use-related disparities. These disparities have been well-documented in epidemiology reports published by their local health departments as well as other publications. Their efforts to prioritize specific communities are informed by this data as well as other factors, including their experiences as service providers and advocates, the organizational capacity and history, and what they learn every day from those most impacted.

SFAF will center its priority communities in the design, implementation, and delivery of all existing and future programs and services. This includes a commitment to allocating the financial and human resources necessary to expand programs and services that address the sexual health and substance use-related disparities experienced by members of these communities. Setting a focus on these priority communities will better position SFAF to provide high quality care to anyone who comes through their doors.
