    Director of Advancement and Special Events - St Louis, United States - Diversified Search Group

    Default job background
    Description
    Director of Advancement and Special Events

    Created to honor the memory and legacy of Corey C. Griffin who passed away in 2014, the Corey C. Griffin Foundation (Foundation), has served and raised over $25M for Boston's nonprofits over the last nine years.

    Given Corey's passion for life and dedication to philanthropy, the Foundation partners with Boston's innovative nonprofits focused on serving youth from under-resourced communities as well as those with medical challenges, as well as partnering on faith-based initiatives.

    Through high-impact partnerships, the Foundation provides critical opportunities for Corey's Kids

    and builds upon Corey's legacy of giving back and encourages others to do the same.
    Corey's Kids is aimed at providing and making a transformational impact on kids at crucial times in their lives.

    The three main areas of focus include:
    In 2022, the Foundation launched the pilot of its first-ever Emerging Leaders Council. The Council is composed of up-and-coming professionals who serve as strategic volunteers for the Foundation.

    The Emerging Leaders Council aims to systematically empower and inspire the next generation of Boston's philanthropists guiding them to transform passion into impact.

    Located in Quincy, MA, the Foundation is hybrid and in the office two times a week.

    The Opportunity

    The success of the Foundation would not have been possible without the hard work of its dedicated board of directors, its inspiring grantees, nonprofit partners, and the hundreds of Foundation volunteers and donors.

    As the Foundation enters its 10th year, there is great excitement to build upon its past successes by deepening its grantmaking efforts and launching a multimillion-dollar campaign to ultimately allow the Foundation to double its community grantmaking.

    In 2023, the Foundation embarked on its first strategic planning process and has identified key pillars and areas of impact over the next three years.

    Committed to building upon its success, the Foundation looks to ensure the long-term sustainability of its grantmaking programs to continue to impact the lives of Boston's youth.
