Managing Director, Black Leadership Institute, Institute for Nonprofit Practice

The Organization

Our nation depends on nonprofits to address the most significant social issues of our time, yet chronically underinvests in leaders. At the Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP), we transform communities by equipping the most promising social impact leaders – nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise – with the skills, networks, confidence, and resources they need to effectively lead, advance justice, and make their organizations more effective, innovative, and sustainable.

Position Overview

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) is pleased to invite nominations and applications for its Managing Director, Black Leadership Institute position. INP transforms communities by equipping the most promising social impact leaders – nonprofit, public sector, and social enterprise – with the skills, networks, confidence, and resources they need to effectively lead, advance justice, and make their organizations more effective, innovative, and sustainable.

Since its founding in 2007, INP has sought to advance organizational effectiveness while closing historic racial and gender gaps in leadership, ensuring that the social impact sector reflects the strengths and diversity of communities served. Building on the social, knowledge, and financial capital of student leaders, INP seeks to create a transformed and thriving social impact sector, driven by effective nonprofits and community organizations with strong and diverse leadership across all levels—from staff and managers to executives and board members. Operating in nine cities across the country, INP trains thousands of leaders annually through the Core Certificate Program, Community Fellows Program, RISE Fellowship, Summer Program, and the Leadership Learning Series, all deeply rooted in the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. More on INP’s program offerings can be found here.

As part of its efforts to grow and scale its programs and impact, INP publicly announced in December 2021 the creation of the Black Leadership Institute (BLI) in response to the ongoing systemic racism and oppression experienced by the Black community. The BLI program seeks to connect, inspire, and uplift Black leaders in the social sector and actively contribute to the building of Black power, influence, and wealth. Through transformative programming, BLI supports Black leaders with the resources, network, content, and community needed to build upon their social, financial, knowledge, and cultural capital as they step into positions of greater power and influence.

In its first year, BLI will recruit at least 20-30 Black leaders who are leading in fields or on issues with significant outcome disparities for Black people, i.e., incarceration and recidivism, health and health care, environmental justice, poverty, and education. The inaugural national cohort will be comprised of four to five smaller, local cohorts located in Founding Communities across the country, allowing Fellows to develop strong local and national bonds of shared commitment, support, and purpose. The program is expected to grow to at least 10 cities over the next 3 years. The program includes:

  • 18 months of programming, including 12 months of in-person regional convenings and virtual sessions with the full national cohort, followed by 6 months of executive coaching.
  • Two in-person retreats (pending travel restrictions) to locations of significance to the Black experience in the U.S. and to the creation of greater Black power as we look towards the future.
  • Sessions that anchor on critical topics that enable Black leaders to identify and implement new strategies to build power and greater influence in their communities. Fellows will explore multiple forms of power, currency, and exchange looking through the lenses of social, financial, knowledge, and cultural capital.
  • A focus on cultivating joy and renewal through a pedagogy grounded in deep personal connection, community building, mindfulness, and the intersection of self-awareness and leadership.
  • A strengthening and building of local and national cross-sector networks.

The Managing Director of BLI will lead this exciting and transformative new program through its early stages, acting as its ambassador, strategist, recruiter, co-designer, and builder of key relationships – with funders and potential participants alike. They will thrive in the external elements of this role while not losing sight of the key internal projects and deadlines that will keep BLI’s development and programmatic delivery on track.

Success in this role will require someone who is:

  • A visionary strategic leader, able to articulate and communicate a clear and compelling vision for the programmatic work of BLI that draws in new partners, supporters, and participants.
  • An exceptional relationship builder with strong national networks who can increase excitement, rapport, trust, and transparency across a diverse and growing community of robust, passionate, talented stakeholders.
  • A highly effective bridge builder who has experience with growing a leadership development program from the ground up.
  • An effective collaborator who will partner with INP staff, leadership, and other constituents to shape and integrate this new program fully into the INP enterprise.

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES FACING THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

The Managing Director will join an extraordinary team of staff and faculty at INP who are committed to catalyzing and resourcing social change by investing in and connecting Black social impact leaders across the nation and amplifying their work and their influence. INP is in a period of growth and scaling, and the Black Leadership Institute is a key element of this growth. The new Managing Director will lead BLI through its inaugural stages, building out the external relationships and internal design that leads to a healthy, vibrant program embedded in the organization’s values. The Managing Director will engage in the following opportunities and challenges:

Build and Refine Strong Innovative Programmatic Strategy for BLI.

The Managing Director will uphold and center diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in designing transformational experiences for Black social impact leaders. They will develop robust, trustful relationships with existing and new stakeholders and will cultivate opportunities for staff, faculty, alumni, partners, and funders to engage and build together toward a new era of more equitable leadership across the social impact sector. The Managing Director will lead on executing strategies for impact, leveraging the success of BLI to position INP as a leader and pioneer in the field.

  • Build on the long-term strategic vision of BLI; design and refine programmatic strategies needed to integrate and scale the organization’s programs and solidify its reputation on the national stage.
  • Effectively attract nationally prominent speakers and highly effective coaches and mentors to the program to ensure students access to a best-in-class experience.
  • Develop a robust recruiting and admission program in partnership with INP’s Strategy Team that ensures INP is capturing diverse and compelling talent and identifying leaders that would maximally benefit from BLI’s work and approach.
  • Work closely with INP’s leadership team to design and execute organizational program strategy that integrates BLI’s program within the larger organization and establishes a plan for program learning, refinements, and scale.
  • Partner with the CEO and Development team to build a sustainable funding model and strategy to support the longevity of the program.
  • Lead efforts in collaboration with the Strategy team to evaluate and refine the program experience to ensure optimal impact
  • Stay abreast of developments in relevant fields, spot emerging gaps and opportunities for impact in training and equipping Black social impact sector leaders.

  • In partnership with the Finance leadership, regularly review organizational financial documents and identify areas of improvement and opportunities.
  • Recruit, hire, assess, program staff.

Supervise staff and lead teams during gaps in program leadership positions, as needed.

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.

About Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies

Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies (MACP) is the umbrella over the grantmaking foundations created by the late Margaret Cargill: Margaret A. Cargill Foundation and Anne Ray Foundation. MACP provides meaningful support through long-term relationships with strategic grantee partners across seven program domains: Environment, Disaster Relief & Recovery, Arts & Cultures, Teachers, Animal Welfare, Quality of Life, and Legacy & Opportunity. The collective assets of MACP place it among the 10 largest philanthropies in the United States.

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.

• Margaret A. Cargill Foundation is a private foundation that came into existence upon Ms. Cargill’s  death in August 2006. At year-end 2021, MACF’s assets are approximately $3.7 billion.

• Anne Ray Foundation is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. At year-end 2021, ARF’s assets are approximately $5.3 billion.

MACP’s Philosophy of Grantmaking underscores the values and guiding principles of Margaret A. Cargill by: using education and innovation as a means to achieve core purposes; empowering people to be self-sufficient; maintaining a low profile while meeting the needs of others; supporting programs that could have a broad impact, having socially redeeming values and standards, and that value life; and relieving suffering in times of disaster. As a core element of its philosophy, MACP invests in long-term relationships with key grantee organizations in order to find solutions that are consistent with the values of both parties.

In 2018, MACP began engaging in an in-depth learning and visioning process around diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). We seek to foster a culture—both internally and externally with grantees, community members, and other strategic partners—where differences are seen and respected, voices are heard, and all individuals feel supported and valued for their authentic selves.

Additionally, MACP is engaging in a diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice process that includes:

• Building intercultural competency and emotional intelligence work at an organizational level, to include deeper learning, dialogue, and action on racial and social equity.

• Increasing local racial equity and justice in grantmaking to fund local efforts to address systemic racism and social inequities; and

• Reviewing each programmatic domain to more formally examine the role justice, equity and inclusion currently play and can play in MACP’s grantmaking.

Digital Fundraising and Engagement Manager, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND)

The Organization

About KIND

Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) is a global leader in the protection of unaccompanied refugee and migrant children. Launched in 2008, KIND champions a world in which every child’s rights and well-being are protected throughout their journey to safety. Since 2008, KIND has accepted over 23,000 referrals of children seeking legal representation in their immigration proceedings. KIND has welcomed more than 41,000 attendees to trainings since its founding, cultivating partnerships with over 670 law firms, corporate legal departments, law schools, and bar associations across the country.

KIND’s social services program ensures that migrant and refugee children – who have often endured trauma – receive counseling, educational support, medical care, and other comprehensive services.

To address the root causes of child migration from Central America and strengthen the protection of unaccompanied children, KIND advocates for policy changes and educates lawmakers, the media, and the broader public on the conditions that drive these children to flee their home countries. KIND supports children returning to their home countries by connecting them to essential support services and sponsors gender-based violence prevention programs in Central America to protect children in countries of origin and transit.
