Expand Leadership
The first step to creating a more inclusive and equitable world is ensuring that diverse and authentic points of views are being represented in the philanthropic sector—especially in its leadership. CHANGE Philanthropy is dedicated to assisting foundations with their executive and board-member searches to authentically engage experienced and culturally competent candidates.
As part of our work to expand the pipeline of diverse candidates, we have created a central Job Bank listing open positions across the philanthropy sector. If you’d like to include a job posting in the job bank, please use our form to submit your information.
