Job description

CEO & President, Charlottesville Area Community Foundation

Organization Overview

The Charlottesville Area Community Foundation (CACF) was established in 1967 as a tax-exempt, nonprofit public charity with a mission to improve the quality of life in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and Orange. This region of more than 310,000 people includes a variety of rural and urban environments and is home to a complex and deeply painful American history.

Through its grantmaking, the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation seeks to amplify initiatives that center the communities most impacted by unequal wealth accumulation in the region. While the Community Foundation sees itself as stewards of resources – both monetary and non-monetary – into community control, it is most invested in the work of changing community conditions for all.

Job Description

The next President & CEO will face the challenges of a changing environment, continuing the equity-focused work in partnership with the Charlottesville community and the broader region while balancing the need to invest in internal operations.

The President & CEO will build upon CACF’s community-focus and partnerships while also investing in the foundation’s internal infrastructure. The next President & CEO will manage this $297 million foundation to improve the quality of life for those living and working in the city of Charlottesville and its seven surrounding counties. Reporting to CACF’s 14-member Board of Directors, the President & CEO will provide visionary and strategic leadership for the overall administration and management of the Foundation including strategic planning, external partnerships and relations, grantmaking, other program activities, and general operations. The President & CEO will inspire a devoted team of 17 staff members and will promote the growth and success of each team member.

Candidates must be committed to equity and social justice, possess financial acumen, and be able to inspire and motivate others. Total compensation for this position is anticipated to be between $300,000 and $375,000 on an annual basis and will be commensurate with experience. The comprehensive benefits package includes health, dental, group disability & life insurance, a 401(k) plan including employer match, a Flexible Spending Account, and an employer-sponsored 529 (college/education savings) account. The Charlottesville Area Community Foundation observes 11 Office Closure Holidays, 5 Floating Holidays each year, and flexible Paid Time Off.
