Description
Our client, the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, is seeking a new Chief Executive Officer.
Founded in 1983, the SRCF was formed to help people connect with the causes about which they care. Community foundations are one of the fastest growing sectors of philanthropy in the United States. SRCF is a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the people in the local area. The Foundation manages 275 different funds, with total assets of $51 million. All funds share the common goal of serving donors, nonprofit organizations and the region as a whole. Since its founding, the SRCF has successfully placed over $38 million in grants. The CEO works closely with the Board Chair, Board Committees and a twenty-three member Board of Trustees.
The Chief Executive Officer will be responsible for leading the next significant era for the Foundation; one that includes continued growth as well as heightened visibility for the Foundation.
The CEO interacts with philanthropically-minded individuals, families and organizations, professional advisors which includes lawyers, accountants and financial advisors, grant recipients, and the community leaders in our region. The Chief Executive Officer oversees a staff of eight employees.
Issues of importance for the first twelve months include an internal focus on infrastructure and elasticity while continuing exceptional service to our donors and grantees, recruiting a new CFO, and in conjunction with the Board updating and refining the Foundation's strategic plan.
Key Requirements: ten plus years of increasingly responsible professional experience, culminating at the executive level; staff, and profit and loss management experience; experience in working with a nonprofit and a Board (could be through volunteerism); demonstrated skills in team-building; a passion for community service; the stature and presence to reflect the integrity of the Foundation; a graduate degree is preferred.
SRCF offers the opportunity to lead a well-positioned and solid community organization that plays an increasingly visible role in our region. A competitive compensation package will be available to the successful candidate. Our client will interview pre-selected candidates on January 6 and 7, 2005.
