Accounting Clerk, Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies
The Organization – Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies 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 & Students, 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 2022, MACF’s assets are approximately $3.3 billion. Anne Ray Foundation is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. Year-end 2022, ARF’s assets are approximately $4.7 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. To live more fully into our philosophy of grantmaking, we adopted a DEIJ vision statement to guide our work; view it online here. The motivation and guidance for this diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice work is drawn from our mission and vision, our direction from Margaret Cargill, and the caring and compassionate culture we strive for through work with grantees, partners, and each other. Embracing this vision will have a transformational influence on our organization, our partnerships, the work we do, and the impact we ultimately seek. MACP’s DEIJ Vision and the commitments embodied within are a living document, a guidepost, and they will evolve as we learn and grow. This statement is intended as a framework to guide our shared efforts as we develop the action steps and accountability measures necessary for the next phase of our work.

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build relationships and trust, have difficult conversations, and collaborate effectively across all levels of the organization;

Chief Development Officer & Executive Vice President, Volunteers of America-Greater New York
The Organization Volunteers of America-Greater New York (VOA-Greater New York) is one of the largest providers of human services to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness in New York City, Northern New Jersey, and Westchester County. Programs include temporary, transitional, and permanent housing for families, older adults, veterans, survivors of domestic violence, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, people with behavioral health or substance use disorders, and others in need. VOA-Greater New York’s 70+ programs are fueled by the organization’s experience as a leading provider of services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness as well as its rich legacy of innovation. We know that the most prevalent causes of homelessness are lack of affordable housing, unmet physical and mental health needs, and a lack of jobs that create wealth-generating careers. More broadly, structural racism and generational poverty are to blame for many of the longstanding barriers to independent living that our neighbors in need face every day. This is why VOA-Greater New York is at the forefront of developing innovative housing, health, and wealth-building services for individuals experiencing, or at imminent risk of, homelessness. Each year, more than 12,000 individuals are housed in VOA-Greater New York’s temporary shelter, transition housing, or permanent housing programs. Through this work, VOA-Greater New York is not only committed to addressing the immediate needs of the community but also to affecting systemic change. The organization’s robust public affairs infrastructure and partnerships across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, are both crucial to advancement in this area. VOA has a 128-year history of serving the New York area, and VOA-Greater New York is one of 24 regional affiliates under the national VOA brand. The national office is instrumental in raising the profile of VOA as a whole, and provides a network of professional contacts, resources, and technical support – everything from real estate to fundraising – to local affiliates. Position Overview VOA-Greater New York is prioritizing the ongoing evolution of its fund development activities such that they match the continued preeminence of the overall organization and position it to achieve its vision. VOA-Greater New York seeks a creative and impactful Chief Development Officer & Executive Vice President (CDO-EVP) to lead its corresponding fundraising efforts on an organization-wide scale. The position offers a unique opportunity to shape the role of fundraising in an organization affecting sweeping, multi-generational impact. The CDO-EVP is responsible for implementing and monitoring a fundraising plan that involves corporate, foundation, staff, and individual/major donors, while building a culture of philanthropy at all levels of VOA-Greater New York. The CDO-EVP leads a team of seven that works in collaboration with the President & CEO, senior-level colleagues across the organization, Board members, and national VOA colleagues, among others, to increase fundraising results and awareness, including through Board training, campaign consulting, development of joint solicitation strategies, and development of messaging that represent the scope of VOA-Greater New York’s work and philanthropic needs. The key area of focus for the CDO-EVP is to bring greater diversification and balance to VOA-Greater New York’s revenue generation, which has been disproportionately driven by government and contract-oriented funding over the organization’s history. This leader will build the development program to significantly increase major gifts from private sources, especially individuals and corporations. While VOA-Greater New York will consider a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal candidate will have the following qualifications/experience:
  • Passion for the work and vision of VOA-Greater New York as well as a deeply held belief in the dignity and value of all people.
  • Several years of progressively responsible experience in private fundraising across giving channels, with a documented record of success in strategic initiatives and fundraising outcomes.
  • Knowledge of and fundamental adherence to the principles, ethics, and best practices of modern development.
  • Senior leadership experience in hiring, managing, evaluating, and developing a diverse team and contributing to the ongoing fostering of a high-functioning, results-oriented, multiracial/multicultural workforce. Track record of motivating teams to meet goals and deadlines with limited oversight, judiciously administering staff resources and budgets, and maintaining clear goals and shared accountability.
  • Experience with individual giving, institutional giving, major gifts, annual giving/membership, planned giving, capital campaign (planning, execution, closure), donor and board relations, stewardship, special events, and development operations. Demonstrated success in setting and achieving ambitious philanthropic goals.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing compelling cases for support and strategic, innovative fundraising plans, and in successfully executing such plans to secure funding from both traditional and non-traditional sources. Demonstrated experience cultivating, training, building relationships with, and working collaboratively with senior-level executives and board/volunteer leaders on development-related activities.
  • Successful track record of personally identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major gifts from individual and institutional donors at the level of six to seven figures and greater.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop compelling messaging to effectively market programmatic activities with a variety of philanthropic stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated commitment to and understanding of how to build diversity, equity, and inclusion in development function; culturally competent with respect to issues such as racial, cultural, religious, sexual, and gender identity.
  • A forward thinker with a track record of utilizing new methods of constituent engagement and connectivity.
  • Demonstrated ability to integrate data into decision-making and strategy development.
  • Working knowledge of modern data management practices and innovations that can streamline advancement processes and contribute to the integration of related functions.
  • Flexibility to travel.

We are the power behind the nation’s largest and most provocative multi-stakeholder public awareness and education campaign for electric vehicles aimed at changing the conversation around EVs, the architect of events and programming that build the movement for transportation electrification in California and across the nation and the organization bringing together high-powered, diverse board and members from the public and private sectors.

VICE PRESIDENT, FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION, Stuart Foundation
The Organization – Stuart Foundation The Stuart Foundation seeks a strategic, effective, and knowledgeable multidisciplinary leader as Vice President, Finance and Administration – reporting to the President, sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, and directly supervising three team members – to oversee and enhance finance, operations, and board relations in alignment with the The Stuart Foundation seeks a strategic, effective, and knowledgeable multidisciplinary leader as Vice President, Finance and Administration – reporting to the President, sitting on the Senior Leadership Team, and directly supervising three team members – to oversee and enhance finance, operations, and board relations in alignment with the Foundation’s mission, values, goals, and strategies. ABOUT THE STUART FOUNDATION The Stuart Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to transforming life outcomes for young people through public education. For nearly four decades, the Foundation has cultivated the conditions for adolescents to thrive in California and Washington state. Established as an independent family foundation in 1985, the Foundation has been committed to transforming systems to realize sustained change from its beginning. Young people thrive when they can bring their full selves into the world and are engaged and supported as learners and change makers. Three interconnected commitments guide our work: supporting adolescent thriving, advancing equity, and reaffirming the purpose of public education. We believe that well-resourced and inclusive public education systems underpin vibrant communities, inclusive economies, and a functioning democracy. Public schools should be joyful places where young people are seen, safe, and supported as learners and leaders across all types of difference, including race, class, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, language, and ability. The conditions of young people’s lives – immigration status, zip code, income, or system involvement – should not determine their trajectory or define how they experience school. To achieve this vision, we must transform our current system to equitably provide engaging and empowering learning opportunities and school environments that center belonging and respect. This kind of public education system is only realized with the shared leadership and authentic engagement of everyone in our education systems and communities, especially young people themselves. The Stuart Foundation engages with people, programs, systems, and ideas. We leverage our financial resources and social capital to advance a vibrant and just public education system in California that supports all young people to thrive.
