https://walkeraac.com/hidden-leaf-foundation-executive-directorbrapply-by-november-8-2024/
Hidden Leaf Foundation seeks a relational, values-aligned, and emotionally intelligent leader to serve as its next Executive Director (ED). The ED will advance Hidden Leaf’s mission, which is to promote inner awareness within liberatory movements in order to advance a more just, ecologically healthy, and compassionate society. As a small and collaborative family foundation, the ED will report to a three- to four-member Board of Directors (which includes both family and independent members), lead a three-person staff team, and work closely with next generation family members as well as movement and institutional partners. The ED will bring understanding of the Foundation’s priorities as well as personal commitment to a path of inner awareness that enhances organizational and societal effectiveness. Openness to ongoing experimentation and learning alongside skills and desire to evolve grants, investments, infrastructure, and storytelling will bolster the ability to thrive in this role.
The Opportunity
Hidden Leaf is excited to engage an innovative, inspirational, and highly collaborative ED motivated to work as a true partner to a committed and supportive board; a dynamic and dedicated family; and a thoughtful and effective staff. The next ED will honor Hidden Leaf’s spirit and history, building upon strong relationships with grantees and partners. The ED will also bring wisdom, grace, skill, and rigor towards enhancing Hidden Leaf’s grantmaking, investing, convening, evaluation, storytelling, and advocacy for practices that strengthen organizations working toward a just and sustainable world. The ED will lead the Foundation toward increased capacity, visibility, and impact, while holding operational, financial, personnel, and programmatic oversight responsibilities.
