This is a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) status exempt position. Preference for candidates that can be based in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW AND CONTEXT 

When NCFP was founded, philanthropy as a professional field was nascent and NCFP developed programs to successfully meet the needs of the family philanthropists it served at that time. Organizations serving philanthropists were not common, and NCFP was instrumental in organizing and building a base of knowledge to support the development of a now recognized field of family philanthropy.

The pace of change in external context has rapidly accelerated as the field reckons with national disruption, the effects of climate change, health crises and long-standing structural inequities. The field of family philanthropy is calling for support to respond to an increasingly intersectional world, requiring social- impact investments that are more strategic, justice-minded, and effective.

NCFP is responding with support that is agile, evolving, and increasingly co-created by stakeholders and partners in the field. To achieve this, NCFP has adopted a new strategic plan, with a theory of impact linked to a clear business model, that calls for both an expansion in the number of families served as well as a deepening of their engagement toward more effective practices.

NCFP, guided by its refreshed theory of impact, works to:

• Elevate a vision for family philanthropy, including the potential and practices of impactful and intentional giving.
• Equip families and their partners to achieve purposeful outcomes with curated and relevant tools, resources, and skills.
• Activate and connect a diverse and engaged peer community of philanthropic families and partners.

A newly designed Family Giving Lifecycle framework encompasses the breadth and inflection points of family philanthropy and orients donors to effectiveness for the purpose of promoting better outcomes. It recognizes the complexity of family decision making and acknowledges the iterative nature of the journey families undertake, making room for revisiting topics as the family and philanthropy evolve. Program strategies will extend opportunities for peer-based learning and incorporate a wider variety of tools and learning modalities to meet the connection, exploration, and training goals of philanthropic families. Based on feedback that the field is asking for expert-led communities of practice, these programmatic approaches increasingly include ongoing peer learning and networks.
