The Organization

Founded in 1940, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) advances social change that contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world. The RBF’s grantmaking is organized around three themes: Democratic Practice, Peacebuilding, and Sustainable Development. Though the Fund pursues its three program interests in a variety of geographic contexts, it has identified several specific locations on which to concentrate cross-programmatic attention. The Fund refers to these as “RBF pivotal places”: subnational areas, nation-states, or cross-border regions that have special importance with regard to the Fund’s substantive concerns and whose future will have disproportionate significance for the future of a surrounding region, an ecosystem, or the world. The Fund currently works in two pivotal places: China and the Western Balkans. The Charles E. Culpeper Arts & Culture program, focused on New York, nurtures a vibrant and inclusive arts community in the Fund’s home city.

Through its grantmaking, the Fund supports efforts to expand knowledge, clarify values and critical choices, nurture creative expression, and shape public policy. The Fund’s programs are intended to develop leaders, strengthen institutions, engage citizens, build community, and foster partnerships that include government, business, and civil society. Respect for cultural diversity and ecological integrity pervades the Fund’s activities.

The Organization

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation seeks to recruit a strategic leader as Vice President for Operations and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to be based in Westlake Village, California.

ABOUT THE CONRAD N. HILTON FOUNDATION

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (“The Foundation”) works to improve the lives of individuals living in poverty and experiencing disadvantage throughout the world. Conrad N. Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels, established the Hilton Foundation as a philanthropic trust in 1944. The Foundation continues to be guided by the founder’s mandate to “relieve the suffering, the distressed and destitute.”

From its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $1.8 billion in grants, distributing $110 million in the U.S. and around the world in 2019. Foundation assets increased from approximately $2.9 billion to $6 billion following the 2019 passing of Barron Hilton who, like his father, pledged virtually his entire estate to the Foundation. The growth in financial resources presents the Foundation with an exciting opportunity to scale the impact of its work globally.

The Foundation is a family foundation.  Governed by an 11-person board of directors of which a majority are direct descendants of Conrad Hilton, the Foundation has thoughtfully adhered to the wishes of its founder.  The Foundation invests in 7 program areas that include the areas of early child development, older youth development, refugees, safe water, Catholic Sisters, and homelessness.  In addition, following selection by an independent international jury, the Foundation annually awards the $2 million Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize to a nonprofit organization doing extraordinary work to reduce human suffering. The Hilton Humanitarian Prize is the world’s largest annual humanitarian award.

Guiding the grantmaking, workplace culture and values of the Foundation is an overarching philanthropic approach, which employs four key pillars: grantmaking, communication and advocacy, collaboration, and learning. Together, these global and interrelated channels work to achieve impact by:

• Supporting programmatic solutions to sustain and test recognized and exploratory approaches.

• Investing in strengthening systems which support efforts to scale solutions, improve public policy and infrastructure, and drive funders, providers, and public leaders to invest resources and improve efficiencies toward shared goals.

• Developing knowledge from both direct service and system strengthening programs, integrating this knowledge with what was known before, and disseminating the knowledge to create continuous learning and to support the application of knowledge in each area where they work.

Along with direct services, the Foundation realizes they must also support reducing the systemic barriers that create the need for such programs, strengthen and align the systems that can create pathways of opportunity, and share knowledge about the best ways to achieve lasting change.

The Foundation seeks to exemplify the values and principles practiced by its donors: Integrity, Thinking Big, Humility, Stewardship and Compassion.  The funding afforded by the Foundation allows it to invest for the long term in areas that are traditionally underfunded, take risks, make bold investments, convene partners, and catalyze transformative change.

The Foundation also aspires to create a diverse equitable and inclusive workplace culture. With an understanding that the most vulnerable communities are those disproportionately impacted by systemic barriers and forms of discrimination, the Foundation strives to elevate the voices of those impacted by disparities across race, gender, and class lines to support long-lasting social change.

The Organization

Stupski Foundation is a private spend down foundation investing all of its assets in the next nine years to address some of the Bay Area and Hawaiʻi’s biggest challenges.

The Foundation primarily funds organizations in San Francisco and Alameda Counties and Hawaiʻi that address Food Security, Postsecondary Success, Early Brain Development, and Serious Illness Care. Between 2016 and 2017, the Foundation focused on what to address in each issue area. In 2018, it focused on creating an initial set of strategies within each issue area. From 2020 onwards, the Foundation will work with its partners to determine which investments are most impactful. The Foundation will work quickly and iteratively to help create sustainable, lasting impact before closing its doors in 2029. The Foundation is also embarking upon an equity advancement process and seeks candidates who are committed to equity and who are eager to help build its organizational culture.

Position Overview

Using the federal poverty guidelines benchmark of 350% poverty level and the Alice Report, there are approximately 1.5 million individuals struggling with food insecurity in the Bay Area and Hawai’i. The Foundation is confronted with multiple and constant tensions in responding to this need: grantmaking to answer today’s crisis versus investing in long-term resilience; supporting local, food justice initiatives that are long-term with fewer beneficiaries versus funding macro relief programs that provide temporary relief for millions but do nothing to change a system built on legacies of inequality and systemic racism. COVID-19 has greatly intensified these competing pressures and goals. It remains unclear how the crisis will impede and/or accelerate efforts to build healthier, more equitable and resilient food systems.

It is within this context that the Foundation is looking for an approachable, trustworthy, and creative professional to work with its fast-paced, innovative, and growing team. Reporting to the Director of Food Security, the Food Security Program Officer will assist in the implementation of the Foundation’s food security strategies with an annual community investment of approximately $5 million. The Program Officer will help facilitate an effective workflow with the Food Security team comprised of the Director and a team of consultants. Additional tasks include monitoring grantmaking and developing relationships with key partners, including the Hawai’i Community Foundation. With guidance from the Director, the Program Officer will be instrumental in continuing to operationalize the Foundation’s grantmaking strategies and helping further refine its giving approach. Above all, the Program Officer will apply their passion for social change; ability to engage with multiple stakeholders; research and analytical capabilities; and unique experience to advance the Foundation’s mission and ambitious strategies over the next nine years while actively engaging in ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

Key responsibilities for the Program Officer include:

• Partner with a portfolio of grantees to co-design grantmaking and assist their programs in reaching their intended impact in a timely manner
• Draw out implications from data sets, research, stakeholder feedback, and grantee reports to make grant recommendations
• Interact and forge relationships with Foundation staff, consultants, the Board of Directors, and external stakeholders including the diverse communities we serve
• Support the Director in building relationships with key stakeholders and funders to create coalitions that can sustain impact beyond the Foundation’s existence (up to 30% travel may be required, when safe/advisable to do so)
• Work collaboratively with Director and consultants to capture grantee results, draw out implications, and fine-tune strategies
• Create collaborative events and spaces with grantees and stakeholders, such as convenings and co-learning sessions

A successful Program Officer is an adaptable, ethical, and relationship-oriented leader who is committed to learning and growth, and possesses the following competencies and qualifications:

Core Competencies

• Seeks opportunity for continuous learning and growth for themselves and grantees
• Listens with an open mind and a deep commitment to respecting diverse viewpoints
• Forges trusting relationships with Foundation staff, the Board of Directors, external stakeholders and grantees
• Has strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to create original written content and adapt to deliver verbal presentations in multiple settings with multiple audiences and diverse stakeholders
• Has an ability to turn data into actionable insight and develop recommendations for strategic shifts
• Capable of juggling multiple priorities, effectively delegating, and delivering timely results in a fast-paced environment with clear team communication
• Has a demonstrated commitment to equity, personally and professionally

Key Qualifications

• Track record of strong communications with internal and external stakeholders
• Familiarity with Bay Area and/or Hawaiʻi food security stakeholders and issues; existing relationships a plus
• Ability to grasp, translate and operationalize big ideas into operational goals and plans that meet the needs of the Foundation, partners and communities
• Capable of juggling multiple priorities and delivering results in a sometimes fast-paced environment with clear team communication
• Can quickly absorb, analyze, and share implications of large amounts of information, including research, data, community input, and grantee reports
• Solid grants and/or data management experience via Salesforce or similar systems
• Demonstrated history of centering the needs of communities when creating strategies or programs and/or when grantmaking
• Has a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or work experience in excess of the minimum requirement; an advanced degree is a plus
