President

The Minnesota Council on Foundations (MCF) seeks an experienced leader to serve as its next President. The President is responsible for the overall leadership of the organization, ensuring alignment of MCF’s mission and vision with its strategic framework, programs, constituent and member relationships, and organizational health. The President works closely with a 21-member Board of Directors from philanthropic organizations across the state, leads the organization’s 12-member staff whose hybrid working environment includes offices at EquaSpace in St. Paul, and manages an operating budget of over $2 million. MCF’s new president will join the organization at a time when the opportunity to build public awareness around the critical role of philanthropy and nonprofits in fostering civil society is urgent and expansive. MCF’s next leader will be in a position to amplify the voices of the charitable sector and to protect and advance the policy environment that enables charitable work to flourish. MCF seeks its next President from a position of organizational strength and vitality, and after a period of successful rebuilding. Membership has grown significantly during the past five years; the operating budget is healthy; and, for the last several years, MCF has increased net assets and reserves consistently above the organization’s goal. The selection process will include preliminary review and interviewing by Sarah Lutman and Enrique Olivarez at 8 Bridges Workshop and may include telephone or Zoom interviews; reference checking; and semi-finalist and finalist in-person interviews. The process will also include submission of writing and work samples from past positions. Please submit your application no later than 5:00 PM Central Time on May 7, 2025.
