Job Description

The Northwest Area Foundation (NWAF) stands alongside changemakers in its region of eight states and 76 Native nations and funds work that leads to racial, social, and economic justice. The eight states include Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The Foundation’s driving vision is that the people of its priority communities—including Native Americans, communities of color, immigrants, refugees, and people in rural areas—thrive on their own terms. A key motivation is to support grantee partners that change unjust systems to serve, support, and heal their communities.

As we all move forward changed from the relatively recent and ongoing crises—a pandemic, economic turmoil, the upsurge for racial justice in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, and mounting pressures on priority communities—the Foundation continues to deepen its commitment to supporting grantee-led systems change. At this critical juncture in time, the Foundation seeks an experienced Program Officer to join the program team led by Pakou Hang, the Foundation’s Vice President, Program. Program Officers are the Foundation’s primary relationship-holders with grantee partners seeking to reimagine and restructure unjust systems.

This position is hybrid with in-person office time required at least two days a week specifically on Wednesdays and Thursdays for collaborative time with colleagues. The anticipated starting salary for this position is in the range of $120,000–$135,000.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PROGRAM OFFICER

The Program Officer (PO) holds primary relationships with grantee partners and works in close collaboration with other program staff, particularly the Vice President, Program, on all aspects of the Foundation’s grantmaking and program-related investments (PRIs), ranging from day-to-day operations to broader strategy development. More specifically, the PO contributes to programmatic ideas and actively participates in grantmaking and PRIs by seeking, recommending, and managing grants and PRIs that support communities so they can thrive on their own terms. The PO engages in this work in the following ways:

Partner with grantee partners to reimagine and restructure unjust systems.
• Build and maintain relationships with current and prospective grantee partners. This often involves meetings with organizations in the Foundation’s eight-state region in person or virtually on a regular basis. The nature of the relationship varies across communities, but in general the PO can expect to enter these relationships with candor, curiosity, and trust. Building and maintaining relationships does require travel within the Foundation's eight-state region. POs often attend grantee partners' events.
• Understand from grantee and PRI partners’ perspective how the Foundation can be a better partner. A Foundation value is to listen and learn for change. Accordingly, the PO role is to incorporate grantee partner feedback in the Foundation’s internal processes and its strategy.
• Partner with grant applicants on all aspects of the proposal process. This includes supporting applicants in developing realistic proposals that are aligned with strategic funding priorities and remain within the scope of the program grantmaking budget and applicants’ capacity to deliver. Being supportive involves offering guidance for their proposals (e.g., dollar amounts, terms); meeting with prospective grantee partners’ leadership to understand the organization and its work and purpose; assessing financials; and, if applicable, ultimately recommending grants for funding.
• Serve as primary contact for a set of grantee partners for the duration of their grants and/or investments. This involves staying connected to grantee partners’ work, having regular touchpoints via virtual or in-person visits, reviewing grant reports, and providing thought partnership to grantee partners. The Foundation has 100+ active grants, and each PO manages a subset of these grants.
• Offer non-monetary support to grantee partners. This includes thought partnership, advocating or championing grantee partners’ work to funders and others in the community, sharing tools or resources, and connecting grantee partners to others doing similar work.
• Co-create opportunities to learn alongside partners. This involves identifying learning opportunities that support justice and systems change and managing contracts with external consultants (e.g., researchers or evaluators) to carry out the learning.

Steward and leverage the Foundation’s resources toward its mission.
The PO is responsible for deploying the Foundation’s resources in ways that advance its mission. Funds are deployed through grants and PRIs, which involves the following activities:
• Support the program team’s annual goal development.
• Contribute to annual discussions about how and what the Foundation will fund (e.g., determining the focus of “targeted initiatives” that would be the basis for building relationships and identifying new partnerships).
• Conduct outreach and networking to find potential grantee partners aligned with the Foundation’s goals and mission. This also includes listening to organizations and responding to funding inquiries, ultimately deciding on whether or not to pursue a grant. Outreach and networking often require travel within the Foundation’s eight-state region.
• Based on grant applications, POs put together written materials and verbal presentations for Foundation leadership and its board and make recommendations for funding.

Support partners via the full suite of Foundation tools and financial resources.
• PRIs. The Foundation has decided to deploy more resources through PRIs, and POs will be increasingly involved in managing PRIs directly or indirectly with community development financial institution (CDFI) partners. POs are responsible for ongoing monitoring of PRIs, including how PRIs: a) have been used by recipients, b) impact communities, and c) affect the ongoing financial health of recipients. PRI monitoring is done in partnership with the Foundation’s finance and administration team, CDFI partners, and/or partner foundations.
• Strategic communications. In collaboration with the Vice President, Program and the Communications Director, write blogs and participate in other communications in order to share grantee partner work and the program team’s perspective and experiences.
• Capacity building. POs support grantee partners by designing convenings that focus on building skills and knowledge and connecting organizations to each other and to resources.

Support Foundation processes as a member of the program team.
• Prepare and present reports for Foundation leadership and board members, in partnership with others on the program team (e.g., prepare summaries of grantmaking recommendations or decisions, evaluation reports, and grantee reports). POs also document grantee partner interactions in the Foundation’s grants management database. POs will occasionally travel for board meetings.
• Participate in Foundation-wide workgroups or task forces (e.g., justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion steering committee) and other cross-Foundation projects, as needed, to contribute to the continued evolution of the Foundation’s culture and practices.
• Keep apprised of community context. Keep up to date on what’s happening in priority communities and on trends in social justice movements, the nonprofit sector, and other related areas, as appropriate.
• Network with nonprofits and fellow funders to stay updated on community needs, expand networks of potential grantee partners, and deepen understanding of the Foundation’s region. These activities often require travel.
• Represent the Foundation at events (e.g., attending conferences, participating on panels, attending local events, participating in or joining webinars). Attending events may require travel.
• Perform other duties as assigned, including providing backup for PO colleagues.
