    Default job background
    Description

    After an exceptionally long, creative, and joyful partnership with transformative leaders, The Durfee Foundation has embarked upon planned leadership transitions and seeks a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO will lead a family- and community-oriented organization that is primed to thrive in its next evolution. Reporting to the Board of Directors - composed of multigenerational family members and community members outside of the family - the CEO will manage the foundation's small, dedicated team. The CEO will bring personal commitment to and passion for gaining and sharing knowledge, engaging deeply with community stakeholders, and supporting nonprofit leadership across Los Angeles County.

    THE FOUNDATION

    The Durfee Foundation is a private family foundation that supports individuals and organizations in Los Angeles County, with a special emphasis on community development and nonprofit leadership. The Durfee Foundation is named in honor of Dorothy Durfee Avery who, with her husband, R. Stanton (Stan) Avery, established it in 1960. Since that time, the foundation has awarded more than $35 million in grants, primarily in the Los Angeles region. Governed by a Board of Directors consisting of seven Family Trustees and three Community Trustees, The Durfee Foundation invests in people and possibilities in Los Angeles County, where the foundation's history lies and where funding needs are great. With assets of approximately $60 million and annual grantmaking of approximately $2.9 million, Durfee is led by a dynamic staff of four and supported by a strong team of core consultants.

    Durfee embodies an authentic approach building trust-based relationships with individuals and organizations that share ideals of creativity, risk-taking, equity, integrity, fiscal care, and continuous learning. Durfee nurtures deep connections by building networks beyond traditional boundaries and identifying where the greatest difference can be made. Partnership in building networks that may leverage new opportunities is critical to Durfee's culture.

    Durfee is a patient grantmaker, recognizing that results often unfold over time. Inspired by its founders, whose legacy of openness and curiosity guides the foundation forward, Durfee continually seeks new ways to meet the needs of the Los Angeles community.

    THE POSITION

    Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will have overall strategic operational responsibility for Durfee's staff, programs, and execution of its mission.

    CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

    Leadership & Management:
    • Actively engage with Durfee board members, staff, consultants, and community to advance the mission and stakeholder interests via core programs: The Lark Awards, Sabbatical, Stanton Fellowship, and Springboard Fund
    • In partnership with the Board, engage in regular strategic goal setting and recommend timelines and resources needed to achieve strategic goals
    • Ensure ongoing programmatic excellence through the continued implementation of Durfee's approach to trust based philanthropy via a culture of transparency and responsiveness that actively learns from partners and invests in leaders who are deeply rooted in the communities they serve
    • Direct human resources including maintaining a strong, supportive organizational culture; hiring, onboarding, developing, and offramping staff and consultants; conducting annual performance evaluations; and setting equitable annual staff compensation
    • Provide consistent excellence in management and oversight of finances (including the budget, audits, and tax filings); operations (including facilities and contracting); programs (including strategy, implementation, and evaluation); and communications (including database, website, and online system management)
    • Demonstrate fiscal prudence and strategy in supporting financial advisors and the Board in management of the Foundation's endowment and investments, including budgeting and multi-year cash-flow and payout projections
    • Work with the Board Chair to recruit, orient, and "onramp" next generation and community Trustees
    • Work closely with the Board and staff to identify opportunities to continue to elevate existing programs, as well as new areas for program exploration, design, and implementation

    Communications & Field Advocacy:

    • Deepen and refine all aspects of communications - from web presence to external relations - with the goal of creating stronger connections and a trusted brand
    • Use external presence and relationships to expand visibility and seek partnerships
    • Represent Durfee at conferences and among nonprofit and philanthropic peers
    • Speak publicly with passion around Durfee's mission, values, and results in a way that inspires investment, partnership, and collaboration in alignment with Durfee's goals
      Convene and facilitate engagement with Durfee stakeholders with skill and emotional intelligence
    • Stay abreast of foundation and nonprofit trends broadly, and in LA, serving as a source of timely information and valuable guidance that promotes the continual learning of the Board, team, and community

    Planning & New Programs:

    • Work with the Board to explore and prioritize new program ideas and design, test, and implement new programs responsive to the needs in LA County
    • Build collegial partnerships to advance Durfee's mission
    • Be an external local, regional, and national presence that publishes and communicates program results with an emphasis on the successes of local programs as a model for regional and national replication
