About the Levitt Foundation

The Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation exists to strengthen social fabric of America. We’re a national social impact funder that partners with nonprofits to build thriving, more connected communities through the power of free, live music. We realize our mission of building community through music through two core programs: the permanent Levitt venue program and the Levitt AMP [Your City] Grant Awards. In 2019, more than 550 free outdoor Levitt concerts took place in 26 towns and cities across America, bringing joy to more than 750,000 people of all ages and backgrounds. In 2020 and 2021, permanent Levitt venues and Levitt AMP concert sites nationwide innovated to uplift, connect and inspire their communities in new ways—from virtual concerts and online songwriting camps to drive-in and pop-up concerts, to a return to in-person live concerts this past summer and fall.

The Levitt Foundation is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) throughout our organization and all aspects of our work, recognizing this commitment as essential to realizing the Levitt mission. We value having a team with a wide range of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and skills so our approach to grantmaking is well-rounded and the connection with our team members and the communities we support is authentic. We strive to create a positive working culture through professional development opportunities, employee recognition, and team-building events and activities. We focus on creating a working environment that promotes collaboration and fairness. Our commitment to EDI fosters a culture where team members can truly belong, contribute, and grow. We believe in the value of every individual and encourage applications from people of any age, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, ethnicity, disability, veteran status, and any other characteristic or identity.

Careers

The Organization

Named for filmmaker/composer/painter Jerome Hill, the Jerome Foundation funds artists in all disciplines at early points in their careers and organizations who nurture, develop and/or produce, exhibit or publish such artists. Funding is limited to artists and organizations in Minnesota (where Jerome Hill was born) and New York City (where he spent much of his professional creative life).

The Foundation consciously embraces three core values which we strive to model in our practices as grantmakers and to support in our grantees. These are:

• Diversity: We consciously embrace diversity in the broadest sense. We supports a diverse range of artists and organizations, including but not limited to those of diverse cultures, races, sexual identities, genders, generations, aesthetics, points of view, physical abilities and organizational missions. We support a diverse range of artistic disciplines and forms created in a variety of contexts and for different audiences.
• Innovation and Risk: We applaud unconventional approaches to solving problems and support both artists and organizations that challenge and engage the traditional aesthetic and/or social dimensions of their respective disciplines.
• Humility: We work for artists (rather than the reverse) and believe that artists and organizations are the best authorities to define their needs and challenges—an essential humility reflective of Jerome Hill, our founder. The artists and arts organizations we support embrace their roles as part of a larger community of artists and ctizens, and consciously work with a sense of purpose, whether aesethetic, social or both.

The Foundation currently has a full time staff of 3, including a President, a Program Director and a Grants and Program Administrator. Additional part time staff include an accountant and a Controller.

The Foundation awards approximately $4 million in grants each year. In 2020, the Board of Directors agreed to increase this grants budget by an additional $8M over four years.

The candidate will also have significant connection with the Minnesota and/or New York City arts community. Recognizing the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to racial equity and diversity, the ideal candidate will have significant connection to and understanding of diverse racial communities in the appropriate geographic region, as well as deep respect and commitment to diverse communities defined by gender, sexual orientation and identity, physical ability and cultural heritage.

This position requires strong writing skills, confidence and experience in public speaking and making public presentations, an eye for precision and detail, administrative skills and active listening experience.

How To Apply

This will be an 11-month position with approximately 20 hours per week, starting January 2022. The Program Associate position may work a flexible schedule.

The Organization

KAF understands that behavioral health challenges are a national issue, however, mountain resort communities have a particularly high burden, including binge drinking rates 25% above the national average and suicide rates up to double the national average. Underlying these stark statistics are elevated risk factors, such as social dynamics and mental health attitudes, and reduced access to quality care due to provider capacity, accessibility, and affordability of care. While there is still much to be done to address these issues, KAF has already attained strong momentum, including the convening of over 70 behavioral health leaders from across mountain communities to facilitate conversations about shared challenges, the development of shared measurement indicators, and collective research that dives deeper into tele-behavioral health, substance use and behavioral health equity.

Position Overview

The Network Director will lead and develop a thriving learning community of stakeholders working on mental and behavioral health issues in mountain communities, supporting change to address the most pressing challenges they face collectively as resort communities, including improving access to care through tele-behavioral health, removing barriers to address substance use, and advancing behavioral health equity. The Network Director will facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing across communities, collect and analyze data from shared community measurements, and create opportunities for peer learning and support. Given the dynamism of the current moment and the national focus on mental behavioral health, particularly as the global pandemic and its aftermath evolve, the Network Director will continue to shape this growing body of work and respond to trends and shifts in the member communities.

Network Development and Infrastructure
Serving as a resource and convening point for mental and behavioral health professionals, nonprofit leaders, and local government in mountain communities, the Network Director will foster collaborative relationships across sectors and geographies. As an expert facilitator, the Network Director will curate conversations among mountain communities to promote shared learning and innovate approaches to bridge the gap in health access and equity. In response to the needs of members and the mountain communities they serve, the Network Director will oversee the planning and execution of the annual KAF Convening and utilize periodic webinars and other communication vehicles to promote dialogue and further the collective impact of the network.

Cross Community Learning
The Network Director will facilitate shared learning across mountain communities and sectors to improve mental and behavioral health in each location, creating a strategic plan for ongoing efforts and timely interventions to address pressing needs. Working as a thought partner to health professionals and leveraging both personal subject matter expertise and learnings from the network, the Director will foster an environment of open dialogue and collaborative innovation through formal and informal events that elevates and furthers the field and communities served.

Shared Measurements and Data
To foster the most impactful programs and solutions, the Network Director will work with communities to continue to refine the existing shared measurement framework and gather and analyze data needed to evaluate progress. Informed by community-level data, the Director will identify new opportunities to help address mental and behavioral health issues and inform high level dialogue about the ongoing and evolving needs faced by these communities.

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

While no one candidate will possess all the desired qualities and experiences, we anticipate strong candidates to bring the following strengths and attributes:
•    Deep professional expertise and experience in the fields of mental and/or behavioral health.
•    Experience building community and facilitating learning with care and intentionality toward measurable outcomes and success.
•    Experience with data-driven program improvement and the ability to identify, gather, and analyze key measures to inform change and deepen understanding of challenges.
•    Facility with data file sharing software or systems.
•    Strong orientation toward mission-driven work that is accountable to measurable outcomes and improvements in the well-being of all people.
•    Ability to thrive in a remote work environment and travel within the Mountain West as needed.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

The salary range for the Network Director is approximately $100,000-$125,000, commensurate with experience, and a benefits package including health care benefits through QSEHRA (Qualified Small Employer HRA) plan that reimburses premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.

Position Profile: TWO (2) GRANTMAKING DIRECTORS – BUSH FOUNDATION

kp prime search, the retained search division of kpCompanies, is leading the search for two Grantmaking Directors at the Bush Foundation: Grantmaking Director with strategic leadership responsibility for the Bush Fellowship Program and Grantmaking Director with strategic leadership responsibility for the Community Innovation Program.

Both roles call for a strategic and operational leader who can make a big impact across the Bush Foundation’s region of Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography. Both positions represent an exceptional opportunity for forward-thinking leaders who are community-centric and eager to think big about all the ways that philanthropy can drive systems change. The ideal candidates thrive within a complex and dynamic environment, are adept at applying equity principles, and demonstrate openness and adaptability to effectively lead and support changes in external strategy and internal practices and processes.

Additionally, we will be looking for candidates who demonstrate alignment with and excitement for the Foundation’s operating values. These exempt positions report to the Vice President of Grantmaking and have no direct reports but have significant organization-wide responsibility for leading teams and work towards successful outcomes.

THE ORGANIZATION: Bush Foundation

The Bush Foundation is a private foundation based in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was established in 1953 by 3M executive Archibald Bush and his wife, Edyth, and is focused on investing in great ideas and the people who power them in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and the 23 Native nations that share the same geography. The specific programs and tactics have changed and evolved since the Foundation was founded but the work has always been rooted in supporting the ideas and people who are working to find solutions to the unique issues within their communities. As the programs continue to evolve, the emphasis remains on encouraging the region’s leaders to think bigger and think differently about what is possible in their communities.

The global pandemic, racial reckoning following the murder of George Floyd and the economic downturn have had a profound impact on the Foundation’s work and accelerated implementation of strategic changes that were already underway. To support the strategic changes, the Foundation has also transitioned towards an integrated grantmaking structure with all grant programs combined into a single grantmaking team that partners closely with an integrated program operations team.

For more information about the Bush Foundation, please visit www.bushfoundation.org.

The Bush Foundation’s operating values are core to both the way they operate and the strategies they pursue:

• Spread Optimism. We encourage individuals and organizations to think bigger and think differently about what is possible. We are positive and supportive in our internal and external interactions.
• Work Beyond Ourselves. We actively seek opportunities to work in true collaboration with others to have more impact. We are willing to both lead and follow. We candidly share what we learn with others.
• Everybody Matters. We are a champion for both excellence and equity inside and out of the Foundation. We have fair, open and inclusive processes. We work to raise the overall quality of life while also closing opportunity and achievement gaps.
• Steward Well. We demonstrate appreciation for the Foundation’s history and thoughtfully build on its legacy. We hold ourselves to high standards of integrity and accountability and conduct ourselves in a way we hope would make our founders proud.
• More Good. Every Year. We are a true learning organization and work to be smarter and more effective every year. We never lose sight of the reason we exist: to do the most possible good with the resources left to the community by Archibald G. Bush.

Position Overview

GRANTMAKING DIRECTORS AT THE BUSH FOUNDATION

Each Grantmaking Director provides strategic and operational leadership for the Foundation’s grantmaking programs. The strategy move towards more integrated programming is mirrored in how the Directors work together as part of an integrated and collaborative team that shares leadership and accountability with other Grantmaking staff and Program Operations.

All the Grantmaking Directors will be deeply involved in making sure that program-specific strategies and decisions align with and reflect organization-wide grantmaking goals.
