We support our employees’ professional and personal development with a rich set of benefits, humane working hours, and a culture that rewards embracing challenges and having a great time doing it.

About Borealis Philanthropy
From Black-led movement-building, to queer and trans liberation, to disability justice and inclusion, community organizers are working every day to bring about transformational change. Borealis Philanthropy exists to listen to, invest in, and support them. Our staff of experts come from the communities we serve, and bring their lived experiences, values, and visions to the work of supporting community-driven change through grantee and funder collaboration.
As a philanthropic intermediary, Borealis Philanthropy builds bridges between funders and organizers by creating opportunities for impact-driven investments. We team with funders to conceive, develop, and implement grantmaking initiatives that resource the many innovative organizations within each of our respective grantmaking funds. In partnering with philanthropy, we remove barriers to funding for grassroots organizations and invest in intersectional movements, building a future that serves all of us.
Where We Are
While Borealis Philanthropy has been quite public about what we believe it takes to fund transformational change as a social justice intermediary, we know the reality that it is rare for intermediaries like ours to consistently be set up for long term success and sustainability.
As Borealis Philanthropy enters our tenth year of partnering with funders and movement leaders and organizers to build the liberatory future we believe possible, we are leaning more deeply into our theory of change , and intentionally investing in the next decade of resourcing justice movements by building an infrastructure to actualize our organizational potential.
Our Values
Alchemy + Healing, Atrevida + Audacity, Accountability + Integrity, Ubuntu + Interconnectedness
JOB OVERVIEW:
The Borealis Philanthropy Chief Advancement Officer (CAO) will be charged with overseeing the development and implementation of an organization-wide fundraising and communications strategy that is grounded in our organizational vision and values. This individual will be responsible for ensuring that the organization not only meets its revenue targets, but is actively working to bring on new donors, with priorities to:
Grow our individual donors and family foundation relationships,
Strengthen and expand our institutional philanthropy portfolio, and
Explore opportunities for corporate giving strategies.
This person will also be responsible for helping to implement strategic campaigns that amplify the work of Borealis and the intersections across our funds, collaborating with colleagues across the organization to leverage existing organizational relationships and identify new potential sources of financial support for Borealis’ funds.
A key member of Borealis’ Senior Leadership Team, the CAO will work closely with colleagues, including the President, Chief of Programs and Chief Financial Officer to facilitate the design of a comprehensive development and communications strategy for the organization that supports the cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of both individual and institutional donors, as well as partners, grantees, and community aligned with our mission and vision. They will lead a growing team of communications and development staff in operationalizing the organization’s fundraising and communications strategy.
The CAO will play a critical role in cultivating a culture of community-centric philanthropy across the organization – among staff, the Board of Directors, and with funding partners. They will partner with the President to identify opportunities to meaningfully engage staff and Board members in fundraising and communications activity and dialogue in service of increasing awareness of the organization and gifts. They will provide comprehensive support to the President, the Senior Leadership team and the development and communications team in service of building a community of donor organizers. This includes ensuring necessary coaching and guidance is available org-wide to increase individual confidence and impact in philanthropic conversations with prospects and donors. They will build relationships with supporters that value the work of Borealis and our funds while cultivating connections across communities and amplifying movement partners.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
The CAO will oversee the development and communications staffing of the following functional areas over time. To begin, priority will be given to the solidification of fundraising and communications strategy across the organization, effective operations, and the development of engagement strategies that support general operating and fund-specific fundraising.
The vision for this growing portfolio will ultimately include 15-16 staff across the Development and Communications departments. The CAO will have approximately four direct reports.

Recruit, hire, coach, and supervise a team of 5 development staff members and manage budgets related to the fundraising team.
Live and foster a culture of philanthropy that follows the principles of Community-Centric Fundraising , including that:
Fundraising must be grounded in race, equity, and social justice.
Donors are partners, and this means that we are transparent, and occasionally have difficult conversations.
Everyone (donors, staff, funders, board members, volunteers) personally benefits from engaging in the work of social justice – it’s not just charity and compassion.
Individual Major Gifts
Identify and prioritize individual major gift prospects, leveraging existing relationships and Borealis staff and Board member networks.
With Senior Philanthropic Advisor, create and manage cultivation and solicitation strategies for the most promising individual major gift prospects, partnering with Borealis leadership and/or key staff members as relevant.

Supervise a Development Director, Associate, and Fund Directors in cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship strategies for the most promising foundation prospects.
Explore possibilities to grow the organization's corporate fundraising opportunities and the resources required to invest in building the required strategy.

Identify opportunities to enhance Board confidence and impact in fundraising conversations.
These key responsibilities are not meant to be all-inclusive and may be subject to change at any time.

About Borealis Philanthropy
From Black-led movement-building, to queer and trans liberation, to disability justice and inclusion, community organizers are working every day to bring about transformational change. Borealis Philanthropy exists to listen to, invest in, and support them. Our staff of experts come from the communities we serve, and bring their lived experiences, values, and visions to the work of supporting community-driven change through grantee and funder collaboration.
As a philanthropic intermediary, Borealis Philanthropy builds bridges between funders and organizers by creating opportunities for impact-driven investments. We team with funders to conceive, develop, and implement grantmaking initiatives that resource the many innovative organizations within each of our respective grantmaking funds. In partnering with philanthropy, we remove barriers to funding for grassroots organizations and invest in intersectional movements, building a future that serves all of us.
Where We Are
While Borealis Philanthropy has been quite public about what we believe it takes to fund transformational change as a social justice intermediary, we know the reality that it is rare for intermediaries like ours to consistently be set up for long term success and sustainability.
As Borealis Philanthropy enters our tenth year of partnering with funders and movement leaders and organizers to build the liberatory future we believe possible, we are leaning more deeply into our theory of change , and intentionally investing in the next decade of resourcing justice movements by building an infrastructure to actualize our organizational potential.
Our Values
Alchemy + Healing, Atrevida + Audacity, Accountability + Integrity, Ubuntu + Interconnectedness

Grow our individual donors and family foundation relationships,
Strengthen and expand our institutional philanthropy portfolio, and
Explore opportunities for corporate giving strategies.
This person will also be responsible for helping to implement strategic campaigns that amplify the work of Borealis and the intersections across our funds, collaborating with colleagues across the organization to leverage existing organizational relationships and identify new potential sources of financial support for Borealis’ funds.
A key member of Borealis’ Senior Leadership Team, the CAO will work closely with colleagues, including the President, Chief of Programs and Chief Financial Officer to facilitate the design of a comprehensive development and communications strategy for the organization that supports the cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of both individual and institutional donors, as well as partners, grantees, and community aligned with our mission and vision.

The CAO will play a critical role in cultivating a culture of community-centric philanthropy across the organization – among staff, the Board of Directors, and with funding partners.

Mind Share Partners (MSP) is a national nonprofit that is changing the culture of workplace mental health so that both employees and organizations can thrive. It does this for two reasons: to normalize what it looks like to have a mental health challenge at work--which is everyone at some point in their lives--and to address the workplace factors that can cause poor mental health for all employees/workers. MSP believes that if workplaces commit to reducing stigma, supporting their employees with mental health challenges, and addressing related workplace factors, they can drastically improve individual lives, company cultures, and workplace productivity.
MSP has been at the start of a growing movement to support mentally healthy workplaces and is poised to grow its impact with offerings that meet the increasingly complex needs of employers with customized workplace training, strategic advising, and implementation as well as its advocacy work. Over 50% of MSP’s revenue is from client services earned income, with the remainder from a range of philanthropic sources. As one of the only nonprofits exclusively focused on workplace mental health in an increasingly competitive space, MSP brings a unique mission and value proposition to this important work as both a trusted service provider and a movement builder. In close concert with the Board of Directors and the team, the CEO will guide the development of a newly refreshed vision to drive revenue growth and increased impact.
The next CEO will be an authentic storyteller, entrepreneurial visionary, exceptional fundraiser, and sales strategist who will drive the co-creation of MSP’s next iteration of a vision and strategic plan. They will demonstrate the ability to set clear priorities and goals, formulate and execute new revenue generation strategies, and stay agile to pivot in response to external conditions and impact data. The CEO will bring a nuanced, asset-based understanding of mental health as a spectrum, including an understanding of the intersectionality with DEIBJ concepts and the experiences of people with marginalized identities. They will be able to speak personally and openly about their own mental health experience and inspire others to support the organization and the movement. They will bring exceptional communications skills, sales and fundraising expertise, team management and leadership, and an entrepreneurial mindset to the work of elevating MSP’s mission and nurturing connectivity and culture among the team and stakeholders.
HISTORY AND VALUES
Mind Share Partners grew out of the idea that both employees and organizations should and could thrive in working relationships. Founder Kelly Greenwood knew that mental health is integral to the future of work as well as to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Old systems, practices, and styles that were negatively impacting employee mental health needed to be reevaluated in an effort to improve the future of work and DEIBJ in our country. Since 2020, workplace mental health has moved from a nice-to-have to a must-have, but few workplaces know how to execute well in this area. The pandemic’s lasting effects, racial reckoning, the political divide, and other factors created an unprecedented awareness of the mental health challenges and has normalized the conversation. MSP seeks to eliminate stigma and create more mentally healthy workplaces. MSP tripled its impact during 2020 and is seeking significant growth this year and beyond.
OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR THE CEO
The CEO will be a seasoned executive leader (10+ years in a senior leadership role) who can passionately and authentically speak to current challenges in workplace mental health, the demands that C-Suite leadership and employees are facing to create and sustain supportive environments, and advocate for practical solutions. In collaboration with the Board and team, the CEO will create a 3–5-year strategic plan to grow and position MSP in an increasingly competitive client services landscape of well-resourced for-profit market players. Essential to success will be: (1) networks and relationships to drive business opportunity in client services and with new major donors, (2) examination and evolution of the client services portfolio to drive growth and maximize earned revenue, and (3) capacity and skill to drive thought leadership, movement building, and communications activities to support strategic growth and impact.
Revenue Generation: Fundraising & Sales The CEO will demonstrate skill in fundraising and resource development, including securing major gifts from high-net-worth individuals, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, and the like to fuel growth. A core responsibility of the CEO will also be to drive sales and effective market positioning for the client services work. In addition to bringing networks and relationships for potential new work, they will build on a unique mission identity as a nonprofit and support development of new offerings that meet the moment for companies looking for tailored, flexible tools and strategies to measurably improve workplace mental health.
Movement Building The CEO will be an impactful spokesperson who can speak personally to the importance of mentally healthy workplaces across a range of external stakeholders including historically underrepresented communities, cross-sector thought leaders, advocates, and other strategic partners and influencers such as national press/media, nonprofits, companies, and coalitions – to share and build support for MSP’s vision and mission. In close partnership with the marketing and communications team the CEO will support strategic communications and movement building activities including building a social media presence focused on workplace mental health that will engage and grow an audience of followers, bylined articles, and other published contributions.
People Management & Culture Development MSP’s passionate team is the heart of the organization. Throughout the COVID pandemic, racial reckoning, national and global challenges, and internal organizational change, the team has tirelessly pushed to think differently about the changing and increased needs of MSP and its offerings. Aligned with MSP’s mission and vision, the CEO will build and nurture honest, authentic, and accountable relationships. They will embody and actualize an organization-wide commitment to listening to, working with, and learning from internal and external partners. The CEO will be a people-centered leader and strong manager with experience in hiring, coaching, and resourcing managers in a values-driven environment as well as implementing effective performance management practices to facilitate the team’s growth and success.
The CEO will support the development and growth of the team and a healthy organizational culture. Specifically, continued development and measurable progress on DEIBJ integration is critical, such that both MSP’s culture and its programmatic work reflects the organization’s collective understanding of intersectionality and centers the experiences and needs of people with marginalized identities. They will work to foster a culture that values equity, transparency, trust, clear communication, and collaboration across MSP while maintaining a healthy, flexible, and caring culture.
Financial Management & Stewardship In partnership with the senior leadership team, the CEO will lead and nurture a deeply committed team of 14 and bring strong business and financial acumen to manage an operating budget of $2 million and will advance effective business operations. This includes aligning growth with mission, planning for sustainability, and advancing internal policies and practices that reflect the organization’s core values.
Board Relations & Governance The CEO will partner with the Board to ensure transparency and accountability in organizational governance, financial health, and compliance, and identify current and future leadership needs. The CEO will also leverage the experience, relationships, and wisdom of the board to mobilize and motivate champions for the movement.
