The Organization

The LeadersTrust builds on a fifteen-year history as a core program of the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, under the leadership of Linda Wood. The Fund understood that it takes skilled leaders to change policies and systems and to do the hard work of advancing rights and creating opportunities; and it takes strong, fully-funded organizations to keep at it and work effectively in social movements.

Position Overview

The LeadersTrust is pleased to invite nominations and applications for Executive Director. In collaboration with visionary foundation partners and a thriving community of leadership and organizational development practitioners, The LeadersTrust works to unlock the radical imagination and inherent power of leaders, organizations, and movements to achieve transformative social change.

The LeadersTrust is fiscally sponsored by the Tides Center, a 501(c)3.

Formerly known as the Haas Leadership Initiatives, today, The LeadersTrust has expanded to work in partnership with five foundations and more than 75 national consultants to invest in the equity-centered and strategic organizational and leadership capacity of more than 100 social justice organizations across the country.

The Executive Director (ED) will champion and lead core commitments to movement-building, intersectional racial equity, and the advancement of leadership capacity nationally. Building upon foundational values and more than fifteen years of success, the ED will collaborate with staff and stakeholders to shape the next level of the initiative and to expand partnerships with foundations.

• An exceptional relationship builder, increasing rapport, trust, and transparency across a diverse and growing community of robust, passionate, talented stakeholders, including funders, consultants, and nonprofit partners; and

The Organization

BACKGROUND

The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation was established in the mid-1960s by the late entrepreneur and philanthropist Ewing Marion Kauffman. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the Kauffman Foundation is among the largest foundations in the United States with an asset base of approximately $2 billion.

The Foundation’s vision is to foster “a society of economically independent individuals who are engaged citizens, contributing to the improvement of their communities.” In service of this vision, we focus our grant making and operations on two areas—education and entrepreneurship—which our founder, Ewing Kauffman, saw as two ends of a continuum. A quality education is the foundation for self-sufficiency, preparing young people for success in college and in life. Many young adults will work in businesses started by entrepreneurs. Some will become entrepreneurs themselves, providing jobs and wealth for society.

Our mission:

To help individuals attain economic independence by advancing educational achievement and entrepreneurial success, consistent with the aspirations of our founder, Ewing Marion Kauffman.
