Description

ORGANIZATION SUMMARY:

Catholic Charities is one of the largest, oldest, and most comprehensive nonprofit human services organizations in Northern California, annually reaching more than 60,000 vulnerable individuals of all faiths in San Francisco, San Mateo, and Marin Counties.

With a staff of approximately 450, reaching peaks of nearly 600 with seasonal hires, a budget of $54.3 million, and a current governing board of 27, this venerable, fully-accredited, independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit addresses some of the most pressing community needs - homelessness, generational poverty, immigration, inequality, hunger, aging in isolation, and communicable disease - to name a few - with compassion and services of highest quality.

PROGRAM &:

The Director of Strategic and Community Partnerships is a key agency leader working closely with Catholic Charities CEO in collaboration with select Program and Administrative staff to cultivate, manage, and build important relationships across the agency's leadership community in San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo Counties.

The aim is to meet the current and evolving needs of local vulnerable communities in accord with our mission through external partnerships with:
(1) Catholic parishes and interfaith communities; (2) government representatives and dignitaries; (3) community and nonprofit organizations.

Catholic Charities has a special relationship with the 90+ local Catholic parish communities that comprise 400,000 Catholics in our service area.

While Catholic Charities operates independently from the Archdiocese as a separate 501(c) 3 provider of social services, Catholic parishes are a core, receptive audience to our mission and responsive to our programs as potential clients, volunteers, donors, and partners.

The mission of Catholic Charities supports the dignity of vulnerable communities by providing a continuum of direct social services annually to 70,000 people.

We serve everyone of all ages, faith traditions, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Our staff members are as diverse as the communities we serve.

We help homeless families find housing, vulnerable youth grow and thrive, seniors retain independence and vital connections, and immigrants achieve legal status, concretely demonstrating God's love through our actions.

The Director effectively serves as a brand ambassador and bridge to Catholic parishes and other strategic partnerships described above to benefit the vulnerable communities we serve.

The Director also provides ongoing formation on Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Identity to all agency staff.

In addition, the Director is the staff lead of the Public Interest Committee of Catholic Charities Board of Directors to help advise and recommend the agency's mission-focused public policy agenda.

The start date for this position is on or after July 1, 2024.
