Executive Director, Fund for a Safer Future

The Organization

Following the tragic shooting of 19 people in Tucson, Arizona, five funders, led by The Joyce Foundation, created the Fund for a Safer Future. FSF is a project of New Venture Fund (NVF), a 501(c)(3) public charity that incubates new and innovative public-interest projects and grant-making programs. Since its inception, more than 30 funders have contributed and collectively disbursed more than $15 million to gun violence prevention (GVP) work nationwide. In addition, funders have contributed $107 million in aligned grantmaking in the field outside of the Fund. Grantees include Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, Cities United, Duke University School of Medicine, Yale Law School, the Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus, and the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform.

Position Overview

Fund for a Safer Future (FSF or the Fund), a national donor collaborative with a vision of a country where everyone is safe from gun violence, seeks applications and nominations for Executive Director. Launched in 2011 and housed at the New Venture Fund, the Fund’s mission is to strengthen the gun violence prevention community’s capacity to develop and implement smart policy, mobilize supporters, summon the best available research, expand the capacity of community violence intervention programs, advance Second Amendment litigation strategies, and resist the gun lobby’s opposition to common sense reform. More than 30 members strong, FSF is working to reduce gun violence by supporting community-based solutions, research, and state and federal policy change. After ten successful years, FSF seeks to engage its first fulltime Executive Director to more actively manage grantmaking, donor engagement, and fundraising objectives. With a strong track record in raising funds and impacting gun violence prevention policy and practice, the Executive Director will be well-positioned to build on success and forward momentum.
