About Carrington Talent Group

Founded in 2019 by Catherine Carrington, Carrington Talent Group has built a reputation for delivering high-quality executive search results that prioritize success for both clients and candidates.

About Give for the Future Fund (GFF)

The United States faces enormous social, economic, and environmental challenges — challenges that demand innovation, durable solutions, and significantly more philanthropic capital. Yet while the needs grow, philanthropic resources are not keeping pace. The nonprofit sector continues to expand beyond the capacity of U.S. foundations, and at the same time, $17 trillion sits in the hands of 148,000 Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals who currently give away only 0.5% of their wealth each year.

Give for the Future Fund was created to change this.

We are building a next-generation philanthropic engine designed to help unlock a potential trillion dollars annually in transformative giving. Our goal: to help catalyze a tripling of individual giving in the U.S. over the next decade.

We pursue this by combining world-class philanthropic infrastructure with strategic ecosystem investments. GFF partners with high-capacity philanthropists who want to accelerate their impact but lack the internal infrastructure or teams to do so. 

Specifically, we provide high-quality, outsourced program delivery, re-granting, and fiscal sponsorship for the country's largest and most ambitious donors. We provide the expert engine to turn strategy into action, allowing donors to execute complex initiatives with speed and integrity–without the necessity of building up larger internal teams. Then, we reinvest surplus resources generated by this activity into mission-driven work to strengthen the entire philanthropic ecosystem. GFF’s core promise is to be an R&D partner for growing the field of philanthropy—supporting social entrepreneurs, training advisors, and activating a new wave of ambitious, values-aligned donors.

Anchored by a founding partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Building Impact Partners, GFF is now moving from a successful founding era into a period of strategic growth and expanded impact where we will build the institutional architecture, talent, and partnerships required to scale a national movement aimed at achieving more meaningful giving.

The Opportunity

Give for the Future Fund (www.giveforthefuture.org) is hiring its first President—a senior executive who will serve as the CEO’s closest strategic partner and the enterprise leader responsible for turning vision into action at scale.

This is an opportunity to help build a new institution in American philanthropy—a non-profit public charity designed to unlock capital at unprecedented scale and reshape how giving happens in this country.  

The President will serve as the business-building and operational architect for a game-changing organization. As President, you will be the essential partner to our visionary CEO, serving as the “Integrator” who translates GFF’s audacious vision and strategy into a scalable, field-leading enterprise. You will oversee both the revenue-generation efforts and the mission-driven field-building programs, ensuring all parts of the GFF flywheel are working in harmony to drive growth and impact. 

This is a ground-floor leadership role for a builder who is both a gifted relationship strategist and a proven operator, poised to shape the future of a vital new institution in American philanthropy. Reporting to the CEO, the President will work closely with a highly engaged Board of Directors, two fractional team members as well as outsourced legal and financial specialists; we anticipate making three additional full-time hires and adding additional Board members in 2026. 

The ideal candidate profile for our first President will bring the presence and experience to engage UHNW families and philanthropic institutions, the relationship instinct and know-how to build and cultivate a robust client pipeline, and the disciplined operating mindset required to integrate a fast-moving, growing organization. 

While this role is fully remote, we anticipate some periodic overnight travel for prospective and current donor meetings (largely NYC and Bay Area), as well as 10 conferences a year. 

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the B2B business development strategy and outreach that will lead to one or more new anchor clients for GFF’s outsourced grantmaking and fiscal sponsorship services within 6 months.
• Build and steward a high-quality pipeline of UHNW individuals, foundations, family offices, and philanthropic advisors that will translate to trusted business partnerships in year 1 and beyond.
• Lead the growth strategy and the pricing / GTM plans of various accelerators and initiatives run by GFF and its partners. 
• Partner with the CEO to cultivate and solicit philanthropic funding for GFF’s field-building initiatives.
• Represent GFF externally with credibility and commitment, expanding our network and elevating our presence in the philanthropic field.

Strategic Leadership & Enterprise Integration:

• Partner closely with the CEO on organizational strategy, key decisions, and enterprise-level tradeoffs.
• Serve as the organization’s Integrator, creating alignment and momentum across all external and internal functions.
• Translate and implement GFF’s strategy into a coherent operating plan with clear priorities, metrics, and decision-making routines.

Enterprise Operations & Organizational Effectiveness:

• Oversee enterprise operations—including finance, legal, compliance, technology, and systems—at a strategic level.
• Partner with a seasoned, founding Director, Grants & Operations to ensure seamless, high-quality delivery of GFF’s grantmaking, fiscal sponsorship services, and operations.
• Partner with the CEO and outsourced CFO on strategic financial planning, budgeting, and cash flow management that guide decision-making and resource allocation. 
• Engage with key partners to ensure GFF has the structures, processes, and safeguards required to scale while maintaining fidelity to legal, regulatory, and fiduciary requirements.
• Ensure GFF has the robust systems and processes required to scale its impact while maintaining operational excellence and meeting all legal and regulatory requirements.

Team Leadership & Organizational Culture:

• Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing, mission-driven team, ensuring we have the right people in the right seats to achieve our goals as well as strong communication and accountability across a remote-first environment.
• Embody and foster GFF's core values, creating an organizational culture defined by generosity, excellence, trust, and an ecosystem mindset.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a seasoned, entrepreneurial leader with a deep passion for GFF’s mission and a track record of building a successful organization. 

Because GFF combines elements of philanthropic advisory, fiscal sponsorship, and outsourced program management, the President must be comfortable operating at the intersection of professional services, impact-driven philanthropy, and nonprofit governance.

Required Experience & Skills:

• A minimum of 10-12 years of senior leadership experience, with a significant background in enterprise or organizational leadership within the non-profit, philanthropic, or social impact sector.
• Successful track record in external-facing, relationship-driven roles—such as business development, philanthropic partnerships, external affairs, or institutional partnerships/fundraising.
• Experience partnering closely with a founder/CEO as a trusted strategic advisor.
• Demonstrated ability to translate high-level strategy into action through systems, structure, and disciplined execution.
• Proven ability to build, manage, and motivate diverse, high-performing teams.
• Experience in a startup or rapidly-growing environment where the model and systems are still emerging.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Cross-sector experience, with at least several years in a professional services environment. 
• Familiarity or experience working with fiscal sponsorship, regranting, donor-advised funds, or philanthropic advisory.
• A network within U.S. philanthropy—across foundations, family offices, UHNW advisors, or social impact intermediaries.

Personal Attributes:

• A natural Integrator—clarity-bringer, systems-builder, and enterprise leader.
• Polished and credible with senior stakeholders; able to engage human–to-human across lines of difference and navigate UHNW and institutional environments with positivity and purpose.
• Relationship-forward, empathetic, and values-driven.
• Skilled at creating structure and clarity in complex, dynamic ecosystems.
• Strategic and analytical, yet pragmatic and action-oriented.
• High integrity and deep alignment with GFF’s values and mission to transform American giving.

Compensation: $280,000 - $320,000 base salary, commensurate with experience.

GFF offers a competitive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, and more), as well as a remote work environment, anywhere in the Continental US. We will continue to add additional benefits over the first year, with the input from GFF’s President.
