About the Job

Reporting to the Board of Directors
Concord, New Hampshire
New Hampshire Charitable Foundation (NHCF), a nationally recognized community foundation serving the state of New Hampshire for over 60 years, seeks a dynamic, collaborative, equity-driven leader to serve as its next President and CEO. It is an important moment for the Foundation, having recently reaffirmed its long-term commitment to its “Together We Thrive” strategic framework, which seeks “to help make New Hampshire a community where everyone can thrive,” and focuses on equity, making New Hampshire a more just, sustainable and vibrant community for all, and economic security for all the state’s residents.
The Foundation seeks an accomplished and enthusiastic leader who is ready to powerfully advance the “Together We Thrive” framework in new and innovative ways.

The President and CEO is also responsible for understanding the ever-changing economic and political environment and for managing the attendant risks without compromising the Foundation’s values and objectives as a trusted, long-established, non-partisan partner. This individual will bring a collaborative leadership style, support a thoughtful, diligent and inclusive approach to decision making, engage skillfully across cultural divides and boundaries, and embrace and continue to foster the Foundation’s culture.
