The Organization ABOUT MARGARET A. CARGILL PHILANTHROPIES Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies is the umbrella over the grantmaking foundations created by the late Margaret Cargill: Margaret A. Cargill Foundation (MACF) and Anne Ray Foundation (ARF). Margaret Cargill was an heir of Cargill, Inc., one of the world’s largest agribusiness companies, which was co-founded by her grandfather. During her lifetime, Ms. Cargill made significant, but usually anonymous, donations to organizations globally, nationally, and in Southern California, where she lived most of her adult life. Today, the two foundations have separate boards and investment portfolios but share a common mission of providing meaningful assistance and support to society, the arts, and the environment. MACF is a private foundation that came into existence upon Ms. Cargill’s death in August 2006. At year-end 2022, MACF assets were approximately $3.3 billion. ARF is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. At year-end 2022, ARF’s assets were approximately $4.7 billion. The collective assets of MACP place it among the 10 largest philanthropies in the United States. In keeping with Ms. Cargill’s direction, MACP’s Philosophy of Grantmaking underscores her values and guiding principles by developing and implementing integrated grantmaking strategies across seven domains:

• Animal Welfare – Wellbeing of domestic animals and injured wild animals, and ways to increase empathy toward animals among children and adults.
• Arts & Cultures – Folk arts, Native American art, music, tactile art, and artistically significant crafts that foster human creativity.
• Disaster Relief & Recovery – Natural disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery, with emphasis on communities prone to low-attention disasters.
• Environment – Conservation of natural resources and protection of natural habitats.
• Legacy & Opportunity – Opportunities aligned with MACP’s strategic priorities and support for geographies of importance to our founder, Margaret Cargill.
• Quality Of Life – Supporting children, young adults, families, and older adults throughout life’s journey.
• Teachers & Students – Supporting the teaching profession and student success.

To live more fully into our philosophy of grantmaking, we adopted a DEIJ vision statement to guide our work. The motivation and guidance for this diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice work is drawn from our mission and vision, our direction from Margaret Cargill, and the caring and compassionate culture we strive for through work with grantees, partners, and each other. Embracing this vision will have a transformational influence on our organization, our partnerships, the work we do, and the impact we ultimately seek. MACP’s DEIJ Vision and the commitments embodied within are a living document, a guidepost, and they will evolve as we learn and grow. This statement is intended as a framework to guide our shared efforts as we develop the action steps and accountability measures necessary for the next phase of our work. ABOUT OUR WORKPLACE Our community of more than 115 employees brings expertise from a variety of professional and personal experiences. We are inspired by a common mission, shared values, and the difference we can make by working together. In January 2023, we adopted our Employee Value Proposition (EVP) that shares our commitments to our team member’s careers. We are committed to ensuring a diverse workforce where all team members feel like they belong, and we put equity at the center of our approach to individual development. We make a robust investment in each team member’s professional development to ensure they can contribute meaningfully to MACP’s mission, grow in their roles, and achieve their career goals both within and outside of MACP. We also value staff retention, and the stability and consistency of a dedicated team. MACP’s home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is a foundational aspect of our identity, reflecting an organizational commitment to sustainability, balance, and collaboration. In spring 2016, MACP completed a major building expansion, and our LEED Platinum certified building features include sustainable materials, outdoor meeting areas, a fitness room, and unique art and keepsakes from Ms. Cargill’s personal collection and others, that reflect our grantmaking and the communities where we work. Our space is a living reminder of our values. Eden Prairie is part of the Twin Cities metro area including Minneapolis and St. Paul, which have over 3 million residents. A unique blend of small town and major cosmopolitan hub, both urban cores boast a thriving business atmosphere. The work environment for the Manager, Grants Management, is a designated workspace in our office, and optional remote work up to 2 days per week. This position is primarily a sedentary role with an adjustable sit/stand desk and requires regular use of a computer to complete work responsibilities. It also includes regularly working with other office equipment and communication technology, such as videoconferencing, telephone, copy machine, and printer. The person in this position needs to occasionally move about inside the office to access files, office equipment, attend meetings or events, etc. This role also frequently performs multiple tasks simultaneously and works closely with others as part of a team. Occasionally, the person in this role may be required to adjust to time pressures and frequent changes. Infrequently, this role may require an irregular schedule. Position Overview Margaret A.

The Organization BuildUS, a multi-donor fund to accelerate America’s transition toward a worker-centered, lower-carbon, and more equitable economy, is seeking its inaugural Executive Director as the fund launches this fall. Housed within the Amalgamated Charitable Foundation, the Fund will support the implementation of four landmark pieces of federal legislation—the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act—and will help ensure Americans, especially those from marginalized communities, see and feel the investments made possible by this legislation. BuildUS is a philanthropic fund with an economic justice orientation that aims to maximize the economic and decarbonization potential of all four pieces of legislation by deploying grants to ensure that federal and private sector investments benefit communities of color, workers, and rural communities. To advance these goals, the Fund will deploy grants in four distinct areas: 1) accelerating state and local efforts to utilize federal investments, 2) empowering workers, 3) addressing bottlenecks and scaling solutions, and 4) facilitating communications and outreach at the local, state, and federal levels. BuildUS is an effort by major philanthropies to address these needs while proactively building out partnerships between national, place-based, and issue-based funders. The fund is launching in September 2023 with an initial commitment of more than $50 million over the next three years, with ongoing efforts to raise additional funds. Initial funders include the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Marguerite Casey Foundation, Omidyar Network, the Open Society Foundations, the Skoll Foundation, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the W.

The ED will weigh in on learnings and impact at key stages.

Network Stewardship and Fundraising. The Executive Director will build a network of government, community, non-profit, private, and philanthropic partners in support of the Fund’s goals. As a three-year fund, the ED will maintain a modest focus on fundraising in the first 18 months to maximize fund resources, engaging with philanthropic partners to align funding as well as ensure the Fund’s strategies and networks complement and reinforce other multi-donor philanthropic coalitions that share our goals. Convening and Communication. The Executive Director will curate high impact convenings to build networks, align strategies and share learnings for our funders, grantees, and partners. The ED will also serve as the public face of our effort, representing BuildUS in a variety of fora to advance our mission and goals. Management and Governance.

We aim to be an organization where everyone feels heard, respected, and valued.

Meet our full team. Position Overview The VP will lead AJP’s efforts to  secure funding for the American Journalism Project’s local fundraising efforts. The VP will work with our Program Team to achieve ambitious revenue goals, will serve as interim heads of development for our startup studio organizations and then oversee the hiring and onboarding of a permanent local fundraising executive. Our ideal candidate is a fundraising professional who has expertise in pursuing six- to eight-figure contributions and grants, particularly major gifts, as well as experience with project management; building systems and processes for fundraising; and engaging local communities and constituencies. The VP will lead the strategy, execution and portfolio management of our local fundraising efforts and have the following responsibilities:

• Define and meet fundraising goals for the each place-based project
• Prepare Chief Investment Officer, and leaders and board members of our startup organizations, for fundraising, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship.  Lead in preparation efforts for major fundraising meetings and solicitations; build new external relationships as appropriate, thoughtfully advancing complex partnerships and demonstrating excellent presentation and communication skills to connect prospects to the missions of the American Journalism Project and our place-based partners and projects.

• Act as interim head of development for our startups and work with the team on recruiting, hiring and onboarding startup staff, particularly development leadership

Who you are We know not all strong candidates will have all the skills we list. That’s OK. Research shows that women and people of color are less likely to apply for a position if they don’t meet every skill listed. At the American Journalism Project, we are committed to creating a better, more diverse, and more inclusive news ecosystem, and that starts with doing the work ourselves. So if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, but you know this is the role for you – please tell us! This role might be a fit if you are:

• Strategic leader: You thrive at understanding and navigating through complexity and setting clear strategy and prioritization. You love to see a complex problem and come up with a clear solution.
• Excellent communicator: You excel at written and verbal communication. You are able to effectively communicate strategy and distill impact in a way that can inspire external stakeholders.
• Goal and mission-oriented: You live and breathe our overall fund goals. You manage against personal goals regularly. You manage and track yourself to goals consistently, but you also think holistically about how we are bringing in new support.
• Collaborative and agile: You love people and you are the kind of person that brings energy to a meeting. You excel at collaborating across teams without direct authority. You see fundraising as a team sport and leverage others appropriately. You bring others into your thinking on how to advance leads.
• Fundraising experience: An ideal candidate would have significant philanthropic experience, a demonstrated track-record of seeking and securing six- to eight-figure gifts, and tangible experience expanding and cultivating existing donor relationships over time. Knowledge and experience in the field of journalism are preferred.
• Committed mentor: You are ready to provide guidance and advice to the passionate, emerging leaders on your team and within our grantee organizations. You provide encouragement and frank, honest, and constructive feedback. You take initiative in the mentorship relationship, but allow the mentee to take responsibility for their growth, development, and career planning.
• Systems-thinker and pattern-spotter: Our goals are cross-organizational and very little can be accomplished without the input and collaboration of others. You love working across teams, spotting patterns, and facilitating processes that enable effective collaboration.
• Committed to equity: You bring experience of managing across lines of difference. You’ve worked with organizations led by BIPOC and/or nonprofits that have a track record of serving diverse communities and bring a fluency that has been shaped by those experiences.
• Bold and mission-oriented: You wake up every day terrified about the future of local news in our country but boldly optimistic that we can reimagine our country’s local news infrastructure. You work with urgency to get us there faster.
• Ready to travel if needed but also excited to work for a remote organization: We are a fully virtual team. However, travel is occasionally needed to achieve the overall objectives of this role.
• Fun and supportive: We are working hard to reimagine the future of local news and our mission is vitally important to the future of our country. We also love the people we work with and love to laugh.

The Organization By inspiring and engaging individuals and communities, the Human Rights Campaign strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ+ people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all. HRC envisions a world where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, plus community members who use different language to describe identity, are ensured equality and embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community. HRC’s campaigns are focused on mobilizing those who envision a world strengthened by diversity, where our laws and society treat all people equally, including LGBTQ+ people and those who are multiply marginalized. With an estimated 52 million Equality Voters across America, the community is one of the largest and most politically engaged voting blocs in the country. The HRC Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization created in 1984, envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ people can participate fully in the systems that shape our daily lives. Through 11 programs spanning public education, research, and policy and practice change, the Foundation’s impact can be felt in schools, on factory floors and corporate suites, and in places of worship. It touches LGBTQ+ lives from childhood through end-of-life, people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, abilities, and religious beliefs, in big cities and small towns, in the United States, and across the globe. This is a pivotal moment in the movement for equality for LGBTQ+ people. Community members, particularly trans and BIPOC communities, are quite literally in the fight for their lives and facing unprecedented threats that seek to destroy them. The overturning of Roe v. Wade reminds us we are just one Supreme court decision away from losing fundamental freedoms, including the freedom to marry, voting rights, and privacy. We are facing a generational opportunity to rise to these challenges and create real, sustainable change. Working together, this change is possible right now. This next chapter of the Human Rights Campaign is about getting to freedom and liberation without any exceptions — and this work is being carried forward under the newly appointed leadership of HRC President Kelley Robinson in partnership with more than three million member-advocates. Position Overview Amid an environment characterized by decidedly high stakes but also brimming energy fueled by visionary new leadership, the Human Rights Campaign seeks candidates for Vice President of Development. Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Development and Membership, the Vice President of Development oversees the strategic direction, operational efficiency, and staff management of the following fundraising programs: major gifts, planned giving, foundation relations, mid‐level giving (Federal Club membership, starting at $100 per month), political fundraising, and events (30 per year). This leader personally manages a portfolio of donors and relationships, as well as engagement with members of the Board of Directors and HRC Foundation Board on fundraising. The Vice President of Development is also responsible for ensuring consistent, compelling communications with donors, prospects, and volunteers. They serve on the Development and Membership Department leadership team and as a key thought partner to the Senior Vice President of Development and Membership. The Vice President of Development manages three direct reports and a staff comprising about 27 positions in total. They will work toward a total goal of securing approximately $40 million annually from corresponding fundraising programs. HRC Workplace Culture HRC’s culture is one of hope, opportunity, and entrepreneurial spirit. Colleagues strive to instill joy and optimism in their work, and rally together during periods of adversity. A dynamic team of achievement-oriented professionals comprises the Development and Membership department, a learning lab dedicated to continuous improvement. Team members’ work to grow and achieve has yielded a number of long-tenured staff, and kindness and collaboration are important characteristics of the team culture. The department has built excellent infrastructure and systems, yet strives to remain innovative, always seeking ways to add value and capitalize on opportunities. Partnerships with volunteer leaders are meaningful and authentically collaborative. HRC is a special place to work. The issues that HRC’s mission tackles are challenging, but the organization represents a culture and community working to bring safety, joy, and even love to people’s lives. Candidate Profile While the Human Rights Campaign will consider a broad range of backgrounds, the ideal candidate will have the following qualifications/experience:

• Commitment to HRC’s mission; knowledge of and a passion for the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
• Ten or more years of progressively responsible experience in individual fundraising, with emphasis on major gifts, political fundraising, and stewardship.
• Proven track record of positively influencing both strategic and tactical fundraising initiatives and delivering philanthropic growth for a mission-based organization. Experience with the challenges of working across a large organization and broad, diverse network of stakeholders.

• Experience working with strategies for identifying and cultivating the next generation of major gift donors.
