Managing Director - Washington D.C., United States - Aviv Foundation
Description
BACKGROUND
The Aviv Foundation envisions communities and a society that is
diverse, broad, inclusive, and provides all members with
opportunities to participate and thrive. Founded in 2016 and based
in Washington, D.C. and Israel, Aviv is a private family
philanthropy that invests in solutions with the potential to create
systemic change. In the United States, Aviv works to support
meaningful connections to Judaism, further positive change in the
child welfare and education systems, and inspire citizens to be
civically engaged. In Israel, it is committed to safeguarding a
Jewish and democratic state, building a thriving and inclusive
civil society, and working to create conditions to advance peace
between Israelis and Palestinians. The Board and staff of Aviv
approach their work with humility, integrity, empathy, curiosity,
respect, riskiness, and adventure. To its grantees, Aviv holds a
role that goes far beyond funding. They view Aviv staff as
supportive, knowledgeable thought partners who ask critical
questions and provide meaningful feedback. Grantees also see Aviv
as a funder that invests in innovation and pushes grantees to
continually improve. While Aviv is a newer foundation, it has
already built a reputation for being unusually approachable,
responsive, and proactive, with potential to have an even greater
effect on its impact areas and the broader philanthropic field in
the years to come.
POSITION
Over the years, Aviv has grown its impact and expanded its team,
and will continue to do so in its next chapter. In support of that
growth, Aviv strives to continually improve its strategies and
tactics, foster a compelling and supportive culture, and create a
more clearly defined, vibrant public presence with grantees, peer
funders, and the broader philanthropic community. The role of the
managing director is an exciting new addition to Aviv's staff in
anticipation of the growth ahead. This person will help lead a team
of highly skilled, knowledgeable subject matter experts in the U.S.
as well as focus on foundation-wide initiatives that advance Aviv's
work across impact areas and its two geographic bases. The managing
director will be a strategic, creative, collaborative individual
who will partner closely with a dedicated Board and staff to
achieve ambitious strategic priorities while sustaining a warm,
empathetic, driven culture.
