About Cinereach

Cinereach is a film foundation, production company, and film financier. Over the last 15 years, Cinereach has established itself as a leader in the film world with beautiful, captivating, and award-winning films. As one of the few artist-friendly production houses in the landscape, we understand the value of bold vision, innovation in storytelling, and calculated, values-aligned risks necessary to challenge the status quo and pioneer new media models. From over 200 films financed, to our Artist Fellowships, Independent Producer Awards, and Organizational Support, we have long served as a leading foundation in the independent film space.

Cinereach is growing into a strategy-informed media incubator that will strategically address some of the world’s most important and challenging problems. By bridging our thought leadership and industry influence with effective, entertaining storytelling and an exceptional community of creative collaborators, we will fundamentally reposition media’s role in creating cultural impact, inspiring systems transformation, and influencing and impacting sustainable change.

As we fine-tune and expand our focus as a content company that effectively serves cultural imperatives, we continue to use innovative programmatic tools to produce and leverage content that positions our society to achieve a more just and equitable future. Today, we have expanded our offerings to include:

• Strategy Program: Utilizing a collaborative, systems thinking process — and working with a multidisciplinary external advisory “Strategy Council” — this program will map the cultural and narrative challenges in key focus issue areas (sustainability, justice, and pluralism) and to identify hypotheses for high-impact storytelling. The strategy group delivers these hypotheses to the two creative programs (Workshops and Studio) and leads the organization’s research, testing, and learning functions.

• Workshops Program: The creative experimentation arm of Cinereach, this program assembles and facilitates bespoke workshops to develop original creative concepts and prototypes specific to strategic hypotheses coming out of the strategy group. It collaborates with the measurement and learning staff to test and iterate these concepts.

• Studio Program: As the production arm of Cinereach, this program will develop, produce, acquire, and sell films, TV series, and digital series projects– focusing on delivering shows and content aligned with the strategies tested in the Workshops program.

Now Cinereach is seeking a CEO- the organization’s first- to lead us through this process of transformation and intentional impact. As we position ourselves to fundamentally shift our focus toward bridging content with cultural impact, we welcome an innovative, big-picture thinker who both appreciates and values the inextricable relationship between high-quality creative content and cultural strategy. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a highly successful organization at a moment of reimagination, growth, and possibility as we position Cinereach as an agent of change toward a more just and equitable society.

The Organization

:  Neighborhood Funders Group’s mission is to organize philanthropy to support grassroots power building so that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities and low-income communities thrive. As a leading philanthropic network, NFG brings together funders to learn, connect, collaborate, and mobilize resources with an intersectional and place-based focus and to explore shifting power and philanthropic resources toward supporting racial, economic, gender, and climate justice movements across the United States. With 142 institutional members and over 1500 individuals participating in our programming each year, NFG addresses timely issues such as gentrification and displacement, racial justice, multiracial rural organizing, and the changing landscape of workers’ rights. NFG’s 17-person staff are former and current grant makers, organizers, and advocates, based in various locations across the country, with a headquarters office in Oakland, CA.

ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIZING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:  NFG’s Democratizing Development Program (DDP) brings together place-based and national funders to provide learning, analysis, and mutual support to move more resources to equitable development and community power building strategies for housing justice, community ownership and equitable, sustainable development.  Involvement in DDP enables funders to take action and partner with other equity-centered funders to shift philanthropic analysis, practice and resource allocation to strategies that: protect and preserve affordable housing solutions that address gentrification and displacement; support community development and ownership models that allow residents to influence local decisions and create long-term benefits; see housing justice as intersectional and a key driver of health outcomes; value equitable development and racial justice strategies in place; and build partnerships that advance community power building and organizing as solutions to the most pressing policy issues.

The Organization

For over 70 years, Public Welfare Foundation has supported efforts to advance justice and opportunity for people in need.

Today, the Foundation focuses on catalyzing a transformative approach to justice that is community-led, restorative, and racially just through investments in criminal justice and youth justice reforms. Public Welfare Foundation is the only foundation in the country that is singularly focused on youth and criminal justice reforms.

The Public Welfare Foundation (PWF or “the Foundation”) team believes that the best ideas bubble up from communities, so it works to engage deeply in and with the communities the Foundation funds. These efforts drive transformation from multiple angles, including policy advocacy, organizing, leadership development, and demonstration projects. PWF is committed to funding innovative solutions earlier in their lifecycles and investing in the leadership of those most proximate to the issues facing this nation.

With assets of over $620 million, Public Welfare Foundation makes grants nationwide and focuses its grantmaking in difficult, and often overlooked, areas where it believes it can serve as a catalyst for justice reform. The Foundation provides support to groups working to end the over-incarceration of adults and youth in the United States. It also works to reduce racial disparity in the criminal justice system. In 2020, PWF was pleased to distribute $21 million in grant support to its partners. Current jurisdictions of focus for its youth and adult criminal justice work include the states of Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, as well as the cities of Jackson, Mississippi; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Washington, D.C.

The Public Welfare Foundation team is committed to advancing a new, transformative vision of justice guided by its core values of racial equity, economic well-being, and fundamental fairness for all. A small and dedicated team of 10 people is based in Washington, D.C. and housed in the historic True Reformer Building. The staff is steeped in experience leading and building criminal justice reform, youth justice, and restorative justice programs, aligning their passion for community-driven solutions in criminal and youth justice reform. Since 2017, the Foundation has been led by President and CEO Candice C. Jones.
