We’re a small, rural Community Foundation with a big heart and an even bigger impact. We connect local generosity with local needs—funding programs, strengthening nonprofits, and inspiring community change. Our team is lean, dedicated, and powered by equal parts passion, and community spirit.
We’re on the hunt for a dynamic Executive Director who can wear multiple hats—visionary, relationship-builder, fundraiser, advocate, and occasionally, chief cheerleader. If you thrive in small organizations where your ideas take flight, this is for you.
• Lead the foundation’s strategy, operations, and community impact initiatives
• Build relationships with donors, community leaders, and partner organizations
• Champion fundraising and donor stewardship (yes, you’ll get to tell great stories)
• Oversee grants, budgets, reporting, and governance
• Inspire and collaborate with staff, volunteers, and the Board
• Spot opportunities to grow resources, reputation, and impact
• 5+ years of progressive leadership experience in nonprofits, foundations, philanthropy, or community development
• Proven success in fundraising, stakeholder engagement, and relationship-building
• Experience working with or supporting a Board of Directors
• Strong financial management skills (you’re no stranger to budgets and balance sheets)
• A talent for turning big ideas into practical action
• A sense of humour and flexibility—because community work is equal parts joy and surprise
• Experience in rural or small community settings
• Knowledge of Canadian charitable regulations and granting
• Comfort with public speaking (not mandatory, but microphones will happen)
• CFRE designation
• A meaningful leadership role where your work creates real local impact
• A collaborative, supportive Board and team
• Flexibility, autonomy, and room to grow the organization
• Competitive compensation (aligned with a small-but-mighty foundation)
