The Organization
Cabrini Green Legal Aid (CGLA) was established in 1973 to serve the legal needs arising from the lack of opportunity, criminalization of poverty, and racial inequity experienced within Chicago’s Cabrini Green public housing community. Since then, CGLA has grown beyond a single neighborhood to become a citywide, countywide, and statewide leader in proactively filling the void of legal representation, wraparound services, legal information and resources, and advocacy exclusively for low-income individuals negatively impacted by the criminal legal system. Any engagement with the criminal legal system can greatly disrupt an individual, family, and community’s quality of life.
CGLA is distinguished among legal aid service providers locally, throughout Illinois, and nationally as having expertise in legal matters related to the direct and collateral consequences of the criminal legal system. Since 2014, we have been the sole legal aid services provider serving Cook County with the distinction of focusing exclusively on individuals and families who have been adversely impacted by the criminal legal system in all legal program areas: criminal records, emerging adults, criminal defense, housing law, and family law. We provide direct legal services, advocate for policy reforms, and provide legal information and resources to other legal aid organizations, pro bono attorneys, and the general public. We also support our clients holistically with wraparound social services from our social workers. Our policy and advocacy work is not performed as a separate entity; rather it is informed by our legal services and the lived experiences of our Leadership Council, an Advisory Group made up of former CGLA clients and community members directly impacted by the criminal legal system.

MACP provides meaningful support through long-term relationships with strategic grantee partners across seven program domains: Environment, Disaster Relief & Recovery, Arts & Cultures, Teachers, Animal Welfare, Quality of Life, and Legacy & Opportunity.

About Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies
Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies (MACP) is the umbrella over the grantmaking foundations created by the late Margaret Cargill: Margaret A. Cargill Foundation and Anne Ray Foundation. MACP provides meaningful support through long-term relationships with strategic grantee partners across seven program domains: Environment, Disaster Relief & Recovery, Arts & Cultures, Teachers, Animal Welfare, Quality of Life, and Legacy & Opportunity. The collective assets of MACP place it among the 10 largest philanthropies in the United States.
The two foundations have separate boards and investment portfolios but 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. At year-end 2021, MACF’s assets are approximately $3.7 billion.
• Anne Ray Foundation is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. At year-end 2021, ARF’s assets are approximately $5.3 billion.
MACP’s 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, having 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.
In 2018, MACP began engaging in an in-depth learning and visioning process around diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). We seek to foster a culture—both internally and externally with grantees, community members, and other strategic partners—where differences are seen and respected, voices are heard, and all individuals feel supported and valued for their authentic selves.
Additionally, MACP is engaging in a diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice process that includes:
• Building intercultural competency and emotional intelligence work at an organizational level, to include deeper learning, dialogue, and action on racial and social equity.
• Increasing local racial equity and justice in grantmaking to fund local efforts to address systemic racism and social inequities; and
• Reviewing each programmatic domain to more formally examine the role justice, equity and inclusion currently play and can play in MACP’s grantmaking.

The Organization
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is a global nonprofit helping animals and people thrive together. The organization comprises experts and everyday people, working across seas, oceans, and in more than 40 countries around the world. IFAW rescues, rehabilitates, and releases animals, and it restores and protects their natural habitats. The problems we are up against are urgent and complicated. To solve them, IFAW matches fresh thinking with bold action. IFAW partners with local communities, governments, non-governmental organizations, and businesses. Together, these global stakeholders pioneer new and innovative ways to help all species flourish.
With a dual focus on both rescue and conservation, IFAW is well-positioned to lead strategic and effective interventions that reduce or eliminate threats to animals. IFAW believes each individual animal matters, and values the individual animal from an intrinsic and welfare perspective, but also as a contributor to conservation. Through this lens, IFAW approaches species conservation and individual animal welfare threats as one. By addressing problems affecting individual animals, we are strengthening wildlife populations and vice versa. IFAW’s greatest strength is in the layering of its expertise from complementary rescue and conservation programs to achieve magnified impact. By understanding the strengths of each program, IFAW can better leverage its efforts to maximize results. Through strategic partnerships with diverse and multidisciplinary stakeholders, IFAW programs position the organization as a credible convener and lead agent for integrated impact at scale. IFAW’s hands-on, field-based and community-centered work across all its programs, linked to its political advocacy work at the national, regional and international levels, has established the organization as a leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation.
CORE PROGRAMS
Rescue: marine mammal rescue & research | disaster response & risk reduction | wildlife rescue
Conservation: landscape conservation | marine conservation | wildlife crime
ROLE SUMMARY
We are at a tipping point and in the midst of a crisis, the greatest humanity has ever faced. Species are on the brink of extinction, habitats are shrinking and disappearing, the lack of appreciation for the value of individual animals and their contributions to conservation goals remains and, climate change is wreaking havoc on people and ecosystems across the globe. All this is happening in a time when our assault on nature has given rise to deadly zoonotic diseases, one of which has become a global pandemic.
In response to this crisis, IFAW is embarking on an audacious five-year strategic plan (2021-2025) focused on improving the welfare of individual animals and the conservation status of wildlife populations in priority habitats through on-the-ground efforts and global advocacy. With a solid organizational foundation built, IFAW is now focused on growth.
Amid this environment of positive change and organizational investment, IFAW seeks candidates for the role of Chief Development Officer (CDO). Reporting to the Executive Vice President, Strategy, Programs & Field Operations (EVP), with direct access to and regular communication with the President & CEO (CEO), the CDO provides cutting-edge, strategic leadership on IFAW development activities comprising the following areas: direct marketing, major donors, legacy and planned giving, strategic partnerships, development operations, and campaign insight and analytics. As a key member of the executive leadership team, the CDO will continue to diversify and increase IFAW’s broad base of support across these giving areas, especially major gifts, while sustaining the organization’s historical strength in direct marketing. The CDO must foster new levels of donor engagement and an organization-wide culture of philanthropy. They will partner with the Vice President, Brand Marketing & Communications to ensure that development, marketing, and communications are fully aligned in advancing consistent, coherent external relations.
The CDO supervises an overall staff of approximately 72, including staff based in country or regional offices and the following five direct reports: Deputy Vice President, Marketing (direct marketing/annual giving); Deputy Vice President, Development; Director, Development Operations; Director, Campaign Insight & Analytics; and the Senior Administrative Coordinator. The CDO will be empowered to optimize the organizational design and functional alignment of the team in consultation with the EVP. The CDO will marshal these resources to increase prospect discovery and new donor engagement, contributed revenue and the diversification thereof, high impact partnerships, and powerful connections with IFAW’s existing stakeholders and emerging constituencies.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
IFAW seeks an innovator in development who has deep experience in major gifts fundraising and managing relationships with current and prospective high-net-worth individual donors, as well as a sophisticated understanding of direct response fundraising programs and their complementary role in building a high-impact, sustainable major gifts program. A strong preference exists for individuals with previous work experience in the conservation arena. The successful candidate must be a student of modern philanthropy and able to effectively leverage complementary development functions through strategic, forward-thinking integration. The CDO will be a proven leader, manager, mentor, and collaborative colleague who is comfortable leading major initiatives and supporting the leadership of others, and has a track record of effectively leading organizational change.
While IFAW will consider a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal candidate will have the following qualifications/experience.
IFAW is an Equal Opportunity Employer. IFAW prohibits any discrimination in employment based on race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, military or veteran status, genetic information, ancestry, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

The Organization
Planned Parenthood Federation of America | Planned Parenthood Action Fund
Vice President, Principal and Major Gifts
Flexible, with preference for New York City or San Francisco
For more than a century, Planned Parenthood has been one of the nation’s leading providers of high quality, affordable health care for people in the U.S. and the largest educator of sexual health in the nation. Planned Parenthood believes in the fundamental right of people throughout the world to manage their reproductive health, regardless of income, marital status, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, national origin, or residence. Respect, inclusion, and diversity in all aspects of the organization are essential to delivering on the commitment of Care No Matter What.
Planned Parenthood comprises 49 independent affiliate member organizations, operating under the Planned Parenthood brand with a presence in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) serves as the national office of Planned Parenthood and provides support for Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country in the delivery of care. The affiliates operate over 600 health centers that provide care for over 2 million people annually. PPFA’s international arm, Planned Parenthood Global, supports the educational efforts and health care delivery of partner organizations in 12 countries across Africa and Latin America.
PPFA works to expand access to care – from pioneering research on self-injectable birth control to offering new services for transgender patients, as well as making telehealth services, including medical abortion, available to patients across the country. The organization is leveraging technology, including a relaunched website and a number of other digital properties where, every single day, more than 200,000 people on average are getting accurate, reliable sexual and reproductive health information.
The Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPAF), a 501(c)(4) organization, supports advocacy and electoral work to defend access to sexual and reproductive health services, including abortion care, through: educating the public about reproductive health and rights; organizing supporters to engage in their communities; public policy and advocacy work, including lobbying; and limited electoral work, as permitted by law.
Planned Parenthood Votes (PPVotes) is an independent expenditure 527 organization, or “Super PAC,” that helps advance reproductive freedom through electoral influence. Its work includes unlimited independent expenditures for or against federal candidates, and state election work, as permitted by state law.
The Fights Ahead
Although support for Planned Parenthood has never been stronger, its mission still faces hostility from lawmakers at all levels as well as harmful decisions handed down by state and federal courts.
We see what we’re up against. It is likely that the Supreme Court will overturn or decimate Roe v. Wade, and abortion could be banned in more than half of the United States. We’re facing the greatest threat to reproductive freedom in a generation.
But we know that millions of people are counting on Planned Parenthood for supportive health care and inclusive sex education — and to fight for their right to access those services. And Planned Parenthood is ready to go all in to protect patients’ access to care.
Planned Parenthood has never backed down from a fight, and it is not starting now.

The Organization
The Foundation continues to operate largely as a geographically focused family foundation guided by the principles set forth by Mr. Wege. It currently directs grantmaking across four pillars – Arts & Culture, Environment, Education, and Community Health & Wellbeing. The Foundation’s grantmaking also embraces cross-cutting themes applicable to all four pillars, such as an overarching commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion infuses all of the Foundation’s practices, policies, and grantmaking. Grand Rapids cannot achieve Mr. Wege’s goal that it become the best medium-sized city in the U.S. unless it is the best for everyone.
Position Overview
The Wege Foundation (the Foundation), a leading civic institution in Grand Rapids, Michigan, seeks an organizationally savvy, community-oriented, and strategic-minded individual as its next President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Foundation was established in 1967 by Peter Melvin Wege, heir of the furniture manufacturer Steelcase and a longtime, dedicated civic leader in Grand Rapids who passed away in 2014. The Foundation’s mission is to plant seeds that develop leaders in economicology, health, education, and arts, and enhance the lives of people in West Michigan and around the world. Economicology, a term coined by the founder, defines the balance needed between the economy and ecology. The word summarizes Mr. Wege’s advocacy for educating the public on the reality that a prosperous economy depends on maintaining a healthy environment.
The CEO leads a staff of five highly dedicated and talented professionals, an annual grantmaking budget of $19 million and an annual operating budget of $1.8 million. With assets of approximately $380 million, the Foundation is governed by a ten-member board of trustees currently comprising eight children and grandchildren of Peter Melvin Wege. The Foundation complements its traditional grantmaking with strategic social impact investing, program-related investments, and convening and capacity-building efforts across West Michigan.
The trustees seek a CEO who is inspired by the organization’s legacy and values, and who shares the Foundation’s commitment to place-based, family-directed philanthropy that contributes to transformational change and demonstrable impact. The CEO will work closely with an engaged board and a committed staff to ensure the Foundation’s approach remains grounded in the lived experiences of its community partners, that grantee organizations are supported via robust grantmaking and strategic collaboration, that its internal culture is just and inclusive, and the Foundation remains at the vanguard of environmental philanthropy and socially conscious investment.

The Organization
The mission of the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund is to achieve equity in education by working with those affected and inspiring all to end racism and poverty.
OUR PURPOSE
We understand our mission is part of the larger work of bringing about justice and equity in the United States. We focus on education as both a process and tool for personal and social transformation, in addition to being a central institution in U.S. society. We work with those most affected to center the experiences and wisdom of communities of color and those living in or near poverty as indispensable to designing the solutions needed. We seek to inspire all to end racism and poverty, two of the most significant root causes of inequity in the United States. We focus our work in Connecticut as our home state and a state of stark inequity.
We understand that our endowment is critical for realizing our mission, not simply in generating funds for grantmaking, but in proactively addressing social and environmental injustices in how it is invested. We are working to align our investments with our mission, seeking out new opportunities to maintain our fiscal position while also positively impacting the communities we serve. We seek to work with diverse managers, invest in communities historically denied access to capital, vote our proxies in support of equity, and ensure our investments are creating a healthy, more equitable world.
ORIGIN
Archibald Graustein was in the first generation of his family born in the United States and the first in the family to graduate college. In 1946, he established the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund in memory of his late brother for “religious, charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes.” During Archibald’s lifetime, the Memorial Fund primarily supported schools and hospitals, institutions that he saw as enabling his generation’s advancement.
After a bequest in 1993 from Archibald’s widow, Hallie Hubbard Graustein, dramatically increased its assets, the Memorial Fund adopted a single strategic focus: the improvement of K- 12 education in Connecticut, with a strong emphasis on early care and education. Throughout its history, the Memorial Fund has sought to both respond to current needs and honor the experiences and achievements of this 19th century immigrant family.
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The Memorial Fund was reorganized in 1993 and designed a three-pronged strategy to improve school success for all children in Connecticut with a strong focus on the years from birth to age eight. In the first twenty years the Memorial Fund created networks of relations that effectively integrate these elements:
Community Engagement – supporting parents and communities in the development of early childhood education plans; fostering the development of the capacity of communities to organize, analyze, reflect, and act on behalf of young children.
Public Policy and Advocacy – raising the level of awareness and discussion of early childhood issues and opportunities at the legislative, executive, and public levels.
Improvement of Instruction and Educational Leadership – partnering with school districts to develop leadership, build capacity and expand knowledge for improved student outcomes.
The first two elements were merged in the Discovery Initiative, which worked with 52 towns and cities across the state, advocacy groups and state government to build an early childhood system at both the state and local levels with communities working as full partners from creating the vision to implementation. This deeply collaborative work contributed significantly to the establishment of a state Office of Early Childhood Education in 2013.
The Memorial Fund established the Connecticut Center for School Change in 1994 to address K- 12 instructional improvement. The Center established its own governing board and attracted other sources of support that exceeded the Fund’s contribution. It runs today as Partners for Educational Leadership, an independent entity operating without support from the Fund.
After 20 years, in 2015, the Memorial Fund adopted a new mission to achieve equity in education by working with those affected and inspiring all to end racism and poverty. This mission embodies a commitment to ensure that those who are affected by policies have a voice in creating them and to explicitly address structural racism and poverty to achieve equity in education. As a learning organization, the Fund is also committed to reflecting and sharing experiences that inform both its own practice and the field.
In 2018, the Fund created three separate but interconnected Program Focus Areas to guide implementation of new priorities:
Building Community Power: support groups working to increase the power of communities of color living in poverty (i.e., youth, residents, students, parents) by providing information, support and equipping community members with the tools necessary for engaging in individual and collective, bottom-up, social change efforts.
Disrupting Institutional Inequity: activities focused on working with cross-sector leaders to develop and advocate for practices and policies that disrupt organizational cultures and structures that perpetuate inequities in education and other issues that intersect with education.
Transforming Key Systems: the transformation of systems and institutions what directly impact young peoples’ outcomes in school. Initially its own program area, Transforming Key Systems is now being considered the culmination of effective efforts in the Building Community Power and Disrupting Institutional Inequity program areas. In the end, strategies that elevate community power and include institutional leaders in understanding and reinventing detrimental systems so that they accelerate the advancement of people of color and people living in poverty.
In 2019, the Board approved an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) to begin the work of aligning the management of the Fund’s endowment with the mission and values of the Fund. Prior to this, most of the management of the endowment was focused on fiscal returns and the longevity of the
corpus. While financial gain is still a focus, current and potential investments are held to a much more rigorous evaluation, centering social and environmental impact along with financial return. As of the spring of 2022, approximately 20% of the endowment is aligned with the IPS.
Headquartered in Hamden, Connecticut, the Memorial Fund, has assets of $140 million and an operating budget of $9 million. Currently, the Fund has an 8-person board (2 family and 6 non-family members) and full-time staff of 10.

This position will support, and ultimately run, the daily operations of the Talent department across onboarding; training and development; interviewing and hiring staff; administering pay, benefits, and leave; and communication of and accountability reporting for company policies and practices.

Founded in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) advances social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. The RBF’s grantmaking is organized around three themes: Democratic Practice, Peacebuilding, and Sustainable Development. Though the Fund pursues its three program interests in a variety of geographic contexts, it has identified several specific locations on which to concentrate cross-programmatic attention. The Fund refers to these as “RBF pivotal places”: subnational areas, nation-states, or cross-border regions that have special importance with regard to the Fund’s substantive concerns and whose future will have disproportionate significance for the future of a surrounding region, an ecosystem, or the world. The Fund currently works in three pivotal places: China, the Western Balkans, and Central America. The Charles E. Culpeper Arts & Culture program, focused on New York, nurtures a vibrant and inclusive arts community in the Fund’s home city.
Through its grantmaking, the Fund supports efforts to expand knowledge, clarify values and critical choices, nurture creative expression, and shape public policy.
