Is this for you?
You have loved working in a leadership position in the nonprofit or government sector for at least the last ten years. During this time, you have supported volunteer boards and have a clear understanding of how nonprofits operate. You are a strategic thinker yet have the ability to execute even small tasks and details. You are very procedure-oriented, task focused, and enjoy predictable timelines for projects as well as the satisfaction of ‘closure’ on completing various transactions. You are a respectful and respected professional and you love the idea of helping the Foundation maximize the impact of its grantmaking. If this describes you (or someone you know), you may be interested in applying for our Grants Director position.
