Atlanta, GA

President, R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation
The Organization – Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation About the R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation The R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation improves the lives of Georgians by supporting educational opportunities, improving access to health services, and advancing environmental stewardship. Mr. Dobbs, a 20-year President and CEO of the Life Insurance Company of Georgia, established the Foundation in 1959. Since his death in 2003, his extended family has stewarded the Foundation in collaboration with community trustees with a commitment to honor Mr. Dobbs’ life and legacy through its work. The Foundation’s board is grounded in core values of service, friendship, collaboration, consensus, innovation, empathetic partnership, and leadership. With assets of $60 million and annual grantmaking totaling approximately $2.5 million, the Foundation supports three interest areas in Georgia’s urban, suburban, and rural communities:
  • Education: Strengthen teaching and learning in public K-12 districts by investing in educators through high quality professional development, equitable practices that support relevant and effective pedagogy, and recruitment and retention initiatives.
  • Health: Expand access to basic health services including primary, behavioral, oral, and vision through evidence-based approaches. Prioritize capacity-building and system change investments to improve maternal health and child and adolescent mental health.
  • Environment: Invest in a culture of equitable conservation across Georgia with priorities that include preservation of GA’s coast, conservation and expansion of Longleaf pine ecosystems, and making selective investments in high value conservation initiatives across the state.
The Foundation’s primary focus is supporting low-income residents and families, with each interest area strategically grounded in principles of equity in order to support Georgia’s most underserved and underrepresented populations. In 2018, the Foundation staff and trustees began an ongoing journey to build a collective equity and social justice lens through board education, grantmaking priorities, and collective impact partnerships. Over the past decade, the Foundation has become known for fostering innovative partnerships to achieve large-scale solutions. The Foundation’s facilitative leadership, and ability to invite new investors to the table, has benefited the establishment or growth of initiatives such as One Hundred Miles, Stewards of the Georgia Coast, the Drawdown Georgia Climate Equity Grant Collaborative, the Georgia Social Impact Collaborative, and many others. In 2002, the Foundation established the Dobbs Fund as a donor advised fund at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, to develop the family’s rising generations’ leadership capacity and strengthen the family’s ties through community-minded philanthropy. The Dobbs Fund provides grantmaking opportunities and a matching grant program for family members under the age of 21, culminating with an annual summer retreat open to all members of the Dobbs family. David Weitnauer has served as the Foundation’s President since 2007. In light of his plan to retire in late 2024, the board has actively engaged in a year-long period of succession planning including an assessment and affirmation of the Foundation’s strategic priorities for the next three to five years. This exercise ensures that the next President has a strategic framework and strong foundation for achieving the Foundation’s planned educational, environmental, and health outcomes. The Foundation has a two-person staff and is guided by a collegial and collaborative ten-member Board of Trustees comprised of five members of the third generation of Mr. Dobbs’ family and four community members representing valuable issue area expertise. The staff’s work within each area of interest is guided by the input of program committees of the board. An investment committee comprised of trustees and volunteer investment professionals advises and supports the board’s oversight of the Foundation’s investment strategy. The Foundation’s offices are co-located in downtown Atlanta in partnership with the Tull Charitable Foundation and the Sartain Lanier Family Foundation. Learn more at www.dobbsfoundation.org. Leadership Opportunity The Board of Trustees seeks a creative and adaptive leader to lead the Foundation into its next chapter. The President promotes the Foundation’s mission, vision, and values and is responsible for implementing and managing the Foundation’s strategic priorities and philanthropic goals.

In guiding a family foundation, the President will serve as an advisor and steward of the Dobbs family’s philanthropic legacy as they build caring connections with multiple generations of the family. The incoming President will expand the Foundation’s record of collaborative leadership by leveraging strategic partnerships, funding collaboratives, advocacy agendas, and collective impact projects. In addition to directing its grant priorities, the President will work with the board and other partners to cultivate and implement new opportunities for community-driven solutions to systemic inequities. Engaging the board in a spirit of co-creation, the President will take entrepreneurial approaches to how the Foundation fulfills its mission beyond grantmaking, to include leveraging the foundation’s endowed assets through impact investing and other mission-related investments.

Denver, CO

Vice President of Community Investment & Impact, The Colorado Health Foundation
The Organiztion – The Colorado Health Foundation ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW HISTORY Founded in 1995 as a joint venture of the nonprofit hospital system HealthONE and the for-profit Hospital Corporation of America, the organization officially rebranded as the Colorado Health Foundation (CHF) in 2006. The rebranding came with the adoption of a new vision to make Colorado the healthiest state in the nation, as well as a new strategy to organize their priorities into three community outcome areas: Health Care, Health Coverage, and Healthy Living. 2011 was a major inflection point at CHF, as the foundation sold its equity stake in HCA-HealthONE to HCA for $1.45 billion. With the sale, the Foundation’s assets grew to $2 billion and the board of directors established that CHF would continue to operate in perpetuity. The organization also used this moment to embrace systems change work beyond the grantmaking it had already been doing. From 2011 to 2016, CHF continued to evolve and refine its grantmaking strategy as it shifted from being a public charity to a private foundation. This shift included the creation of Healthier Colorado, an independent 501(c)(4) meant to serve as the voice of Coloradans in policy debates pertinent to the health of the state’s residents. In 2015, Karen McNeil-Miller assumed the role of President and CEO at CHF. During her tenure, CHF has implemented major strategic changes to ensure that CHF can meet the current needs of the moment. The organization adopted a broader definition of health and program staff began implementing a new Community Engagement IMPACT Model to guide the Foundation’s work in communities. The organization now makes grants that align with 10 priority areas. Crucially, the organization committed itself to health equity as its North Star. It has since expanded on this by dedicating itself to racial justice as the key mechanism by which it seeks to achieve health equity. CHF relocated to its current location in uptown Denver in 2016. MISSION & VALUES The Colorado Health Foundation operates on the belief that health and well-being can be in reach for everyone. The mission of the organization is to improve the health of Coloradans by collaborating with organizations and communities across the state to break down the many systemic inequities that stand in the way of health, because when every Coloradan has the power to be healthy, our entire state is stronger. The organization envisions a future where all Coloradans can say: “We have all we need to live healthy lives.” The Foundation’s work and expectations of its partners are rooted in three cornerstones:
  • Everything is done with the intent of creating health equity.
  • The Foundation serves Coloradans who have less power, privilege, and income, and prioritizes Coloradans of color, because they are most disproportionately impacted by systemic and historic barriers that stand in the way of health and well-being.
  • The Foundation is informed by the community and the people it exists to serve.
PRIORITY AREAS The organization’s four strategic focus areas correlate to 10 priority areas: Champion Power Shifting
  • Advocacy
  • Capacity Building
Advance Health and Well-being
  • Primary Care
  • Adult Recovery
  • Thriving Young People
Support Community Solutions
  • Community Solutions
  • Locally focused Work
Reimagine Systems
  • Food Access & Security
  • Affordable Housing
  • Economic Opportunity
Colorado is home to a diverse population of nearly six million people who reside in vibrant urban and rural communities throughout the state. The economy is growing, and the state is world-renowned for its natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor recreation and adventure. There are significant bright spots in the overall health and health care landscape in Colorado. The social safety net is strong and resilient, and while public insurance levels have dropped since the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, over 95% of Coloradans currently have some form of public or private health insurance coverage. Moreover, the current public policy environment to advance health, health care, and health equity is favorable. Despite this, serious challenges persist. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose a threat to vulnerable populations, and significant residual inequities that emerged during the pandemic remain. Mental health and well-being concerns have increased, and social factors that influence health such as the cost of living, racial disparities, housing affordability, homelessness, food security, substance misuse, and public safety issues continue to challenge the overall health and well-being of traditionally underserved and marginalized communities. Much work remains to be done. The Colorado Health Foundation (CHF) is dedicated to improving health outcomes for Coloradans from all walks of life. As the largest foundation in the state of Colorado and the third largest health philanthropy in the country, CHF plays a key role in the development, evaluation, and dissemination of innovative and effective approaches to overcome these challenges across the state.
