**About Us**
Vancouver Foundation is a community foundation that serves Vancouver and all of BC. We bring together the generosity of donors with the ideas and energy of people and communities across the province. Every year we fund a diverse mix of grants, both large and small, that help to build healthy, vibrant, equitable, and inclusive communities. Considered a leader in responsive grantmaking and systems change, Vancouver Foundation is the most significant funder of charities in BC outside of government.
As a community foundation, we're committed to ensuring everyone has a place in our mission. We are on a journey to actively align all aspects of our work — both internally and externally — to our commitment to equity, inclusion, and a more just society.

As a seasoned professional with experience in the social purpose sector, you have a broad understanding of community issues, how they impact diverse and equity-seeking communities, and how to mobilize resources and engage stakeholders to take action. You have education and/or experience in trust-based philanthropy, granting, community initiatives, and think deeply and creatively when it comes to bringing the community in to the work. You have successfully managed teams and demonstrated success in building a staff culture based on a commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and possess a demonstrated ability to build consensus within multidisciplinary groups. You bring at least 10 years of experience in a complex role which may include involvement at an executive leadership level delivering on granting and community initiatives within the social purpose sector. You have excellent writing, public speaking, and presentation skills.
You are ready to join us as we explore and shape how Vancouver Foundation might do even more to align justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion with our culture and our mission.
