The Organization

About Weingart Foundation

The Weingart Foundation is a private grantmaking foundation advancing racial, social, and economic justice in Southern California. Founded in 1951 by Ben and Stella Weingart, the Foundation has provided over $1 billion in grants and loans to thousands of organizations across the region. By strengthening organizations focused on providing critical services and building power in communities of color, the Weingart Foundation is demonstrating what is possible when we invest and trust in our partners.

Mission

The Weingart Foundation partners with communities across Southern California to advance racial, social, and economic justice for all.

Overarching Goal and Vision

The Weingart Foundation seeks to achieve inclusion and opportunity for all Southern Californians, especially for those who have historically been excluded due to their race, income level, gender, religion, immigration status, disability, age, sexual orientation, or zip code.

To achieve this goal, the Foundation’s grantmaking program and other support are designed to strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations, collaboratives, and coalitions working to meet essential needs, expand opportunity, and eliminate structural barriers to equity by building the community power required to sustain long-term prosperity.

Our vision is a dynamic and effective social change sector in Southern California that is creating equitable systems and structures needed to achieve justice.

Core Values

• Courage: The work of equity and justice often involves pushing against the status quo, taking risks, and holding ourselves and others with privilege accountable in pursuit of collective goals. We strive to show courage, drawing inspiration from the courage that communities continue to show in the face of great challenges.

• Dignity: Every person matters and deserves a sustainable standard of living. The measure of our society is how we treat those among us who face oppression, inequity, or lack of opportunity.

• Innovation and Curiosity: We commit ourselves to becoming more effective by staying open to new ideas and risk and by learning from each other, from our peers, and from our partners.

• Partnership: We strive to break down the power imbalance between nonprofits and funders, and the silos within the social change sector. Our goal is to be an engaged and supportive partner to organizations, leveraging our resources and reach to help them achieve their own goals and amplify the power of their communities.

• Racial justice: Rather than addressing the symptoms of structural inequities, we seek to confront our nation’s deep history of racism and to help imagine something beyond it. We commit to using our influence, position, and resources to eliminate racist policies and practice to achieve justice, inclusion, and opportunity for all people.

• Respect: The people served by our work deserve our respect. We honor their dedication to improving their own lives and the lives of others in their communities, and we trust them as experts on their own experiences.

• Trust: Our partners know what they need, and they know what their communities need. We trust them to identify the best pathways to impact and to be responsible stewards of the resources we provide.

The Organization

The Public Health Law Center (the Center) was founded in 2000 with an initial grant funded by Minnesota’s landmark 1998 tobacco settlement. Founding Executive Director Doug Blanke, JD, a former Assistant Attorney General for the State of Minnesota, has grown the Center from a one-person law and policy think tank on commercial tobacco control issues to become a national organization of approximately 35 public health attorneys, policy analysts, and support staff that help community leaders strengthen public health laws and health equity.

The Commercial Tobacco Control Program continues to be the largest programmatic area of the Center, including state-level implementation contracts in California, Minnesota, and soon New York; a Federal Regulations program that seeks to influence policy at agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); and a national program that offers technical assistance to partners from state, local, and Tribal health and advocacy organizations around the country.

The Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) Program includes work on fostering healthy and equitable food systems; reducing the consumption of sugary beverages; supporting access to water; maximizing rural, urban, and regional planning for the health of community members; and increasing opportunities for physical activity and mobility, all through the lens of health equity. The HEAL program works with Minnesota and national partners.

The Center’s Tribal Public Health Law & Policy Program supports the work of Tribes and Native-serving organizations in service of Tribal sovereignty and healthy Indigenous communities. This work is rooted in the HEAL and commercial tobacco program areas, and also extends to other issues such as trauma-informed policy approaches in schools, suicide prevention, and general Tribal public health authority and infrastructure supports.

In keeping with our values of centering health equity and addressing pressing public health crises, the Center has recently expanded its programmatic work to include broader housing and climate justice work. Specifically, the Center has developed a Climate Law and Policy pilot program focused on addressing indoor air quality and climate change vulnerability in public and low-income housing.

Each new programmatic expansion has been directly rooted in an interest from Center staff to explore how the organization can bring its considerable legal and technical expertise into new areas of work that fit a broad definition of public health. The new Executive Director will be tasked with continuing these successes and leading the Center in identifying new opportunities to expand services and attract new philanthropic support of its efforts.

Position Overview

The Public Health Law Center (the Center), at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law, is seeking nominations and applications for its next Executive Director. Founded in 2000, the Center’s mission is to promote public health through the power of law and policy. The Center provides legal research and other legal policy support to local, state, and Tribal health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health advocacy organizations, government attorneys, community coalitions, and others working on public health policy. The Center’s work is rooted in the collective belief that everyone deserves to be healthy. The Center strives to empower its partners to reduce and eliminate the usage of commercial tobacco, promote healthy food systems, support physical activity, and address other causes of chronic disease. Current and past partners in this work include Tribal health leaders, federal agencies, national health advocacy organizations, local and state governments, researchers, and major foundations.

Following the remarkable tenure of founding Executive Director Doug Blanke, JD, the next Executive Director will have a unique opportunity to advance the work of the Center. With a staff of 35, the Center is poised for a significant period of growth. While the Center is physically based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the Executive Director will be able to perform their duties remotely within the continental United States. The next Executive Director will be joining a fiscally sound organization with reliable funding relationships and a deeply credible reputation across the field of public health law and policy.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU

The next Executive Director of the Public Health Law Center will lead a committed team and will engage with the following opportunities and challenges:

Provide Leadership & Vision to Advance the Center’s Mission

The Executive Director will lead the growing work of the Center and its impact on the field of public health law and policy. The work of the Executive Director will build on the Center’s positioning as a leader in this field, with particular expertise in the areas of commercial tobacco, physical activity, and food justice, while supporting and helping to expand the growing areas of climate justice and Tribal public health.

The new Executive Director will bring vision and a sophisticated approach that harnesses the Center’s deep knowledge and success to identify future policy change needs and opportunities that address the social determinants of health. In partnership with the staff, the Executive Director will analyze, assess, and map the evolving health policy landscape, identifying issue areas where the Center can be most effective.

Build a Collaborative Team Culture that Aligns Resources to Strategy

In partnership with the leadership team, the Executive Director will lead and nurture a deeply committed staff of approximately 35 based in the Twin Cities and across the country, and manage an operating budget of $4 million. They will advance a sophisticated and clear framework for aligning growth with mission, planning for effective team structures, and advancing internal policies and practices with the organization’s core values to support equity. They will embody and support the development of a culture that values equity, transparency, trust, clear communication, and collaboration across the organization. Recognizing the need to support the Center’s wealth of talent – its staff – the new leader will seek to partner collaboratively with senior managers to inform a sustainable and effective strategy that attracts and retains exceptional and diverse talent.

Cultivate Funder Relationships & Fundraising

The new Executive Director will foster robust relationships with key funders and clients, as well as expand the organization’s funding base through new and innovative partnerships that ensure broad-based sustainable support and demonstrate its value to the field. They will partner with the senior staff to consider new business development, fundraising strategies, and enhanced communications strategies to ensure long-term organizational impact and performance.

Lead Partnership Development & Sector Networks

The new Executive Director will continue to build relationships with partners across the field, including those working at the national level in public health law and policy, as well as those working at the community level. They will work closely with senior staff to strategically build relationships with city, state, and Tribal public health departments and demonstrate the unique value proposition and opportunity for engagement to support laws and policies that support public health in local communities across the country. They will support the development of new partnerships with environmental, housing, and other groups to support growing areas of programmatic work.

Maintain Effective Relationship with Board and Mitchell Hamline School of Law

The Executive Director will be a member of, report to and maintain a productive relationship with the Center’s Board, which includes the President and Dean and Chief Financial Officer of the Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

THE SKILLS YOU WILL NEED

The new Executive Director will have a proven record of driving law and policy change that supports health equity and will bring a deep and sophisticated understanding of the public health policy landscape across a range of key issues.

POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Program Officer, Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation

LOCATED IN: Winston-Salem, North Carolina

 BACKGROUND

Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation is a statewide, private, family foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for all North Carolinians. The Foundation was established in 1936 as a memorial to Z. Smith Reynolds, the youngest son of R.J. Reynolds. For more than eighty years, the Foundation has been engaged in forward-thinking philanthropy with contributions of $608 million in North Carolina.

The Foundation’s current All For NC Grantmaking Framework for Grantmaking and Learning includes the following strategies:

•  A State-Level Systemic Change Strategy, to improve state-level systems and structures to remove barriers and create opportunities;
•  A Community-Based Strategy, to leverage the unique assets, knowledge, experience and connections in communities to create meaningful change; and
•  An Exploratory, Visionary Ideas Strategy, to invest in the bold ideas of North Carolinians.

Alongside these three main strategies, the Foundation has also expressed its commitment to:

• Augment its participation in its hometown of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County,
• Use a racial equity lens to underpin all of its work, and
• Continue to be a learning organization.

The intent of the Foundation’s Framework for Grantmaking and Learning is to provide different strategies that meet people and communities where they are, as well as to break down silos, allow more flexibility in our grantmaking, and provide multiple entry points for potential applicants. The Foundation recognizes that not all the work that is funded will fit neatly into these three strategies; rather, there is work that lives in between them. Therefore, the Foundation wants to remain flexible to foster those areas of intersection.

·         Engaging with communities across NC, nonprofit partners, philanthropic institutions, ZSR Trustees and staff to design, implement and strengthen this strategy on an ongoing basis.

Position Overview

PROGRAM OFFICER POSITION DESCRIPTION – Community-Based Grantmaking

The Foundation is hiring a Program Officer to support the strategies set forward in this grantmaking framework. This position will have primary responsibility for implementing the Foundation’s Community-Based Strategy, which has three components: a Community Progress Fund, a Collaborative Problem-Solving approach, and supporting capacity building in under-resourced communities across North Carolina.

Community Progress Fund

The Community Progress Fund is an annual grantmaking strategy designed to provide an infusion of short-term funding at the right moment and is intended to build on existing momentum to help move an issue, an idea or an organization forward. The Progress Fund allows communities to test ideas, expand promising efforts, or achieve greater impact. Our goal is to award a significant portion of grants to organizations that are run by and primarily serve people of color; therefore, ZSR strongly encourages applications from these organizations. This position will have primary responsibility for leading the Progress Fund grantmaking process, which includes:

• Preparing and implementing a grant proposal review process by leading a team of ZSR staff and consultants
• Leading the learning regarding the intent and impact of the grantmaking approach, and adjusting the implementation accordingly
• Organizing and managing timelines and communications with ZSR’s Board of Trustees
• Analyzing data on grantmaking trends and demographics
• Managing the grant reporting process

Collaborative Problem-Solving

ZSR’s Collaborative Problem-Solving approach is intended to support a limited number of community proposals that use inclusive, collaborative and resourceful processes to authentically engage a community in tackling challenges and creating solutions. These grants support communities to use collaborative problem-solving processes that lead to more effective, equitable and sustainable solutions. Program Officer responsibilities include:

• Supporting the existing cohort of five Collaborative Problem-Solving sites in partnership with other program officers, including designing opportunities for learning across the sites, in partnership with grantees
• Continuing to develop and embed professional development and learning among ZSR staff and Trustees
• Leading discussions and potential processes regarding the design and launch of future rounds of Collaborative Problem-Solving grantmaking
• Serving as primary liaison with Foundation consultants

Capacity Building in Under-Resourced Communities

The Foundation’s strategy for supporting capacity-building in under-resourced communities is a strength-based approach that invests in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color=led and serving organizations across NC. Program officer responsibilities include:

• Partnering with community-based, grassroots organizations as co-designers and co-leaders of meaningful convenings, networks, learning and grantmaking approaches for community-embedded organizations and emerging nonprofits that already have – or promise to have – a significant impact on specific communities and constituencies.
• Engaging with communities across NC, nonprofit partners, philanthropic institutions, ZSR Trustees and staff to design, implement and strengthen this strategy on an ongoing basis.

QUALIFICATIONS

The successful candidate will be visionary, strategic, analytical, intellectually curious, resilient, detail-oriented and grounded in the different needs of communities. They must be adept at building relationships and understanding power dynamics and how they influence advancing change. An understanding of the NC nonprofit landscape, especially in under-resourced communities, is preferred. The individual selected will possess facilitation, collaboration, convening, and project management skills and be able to bring various stakeholders with diverse backgrounds, opinions and experiences together. This individual will share the Foundation’s core values and commitment to racial equity.

A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college is required, and an advanced degree or equivalent experience is preferred. Five years of related work experience is desired. Exceptional writing and communication skills are required, along with the ability to assimilate information quickly, work under pressure and meet deadlines.
