PHILANTHROPIC SERVICES
Founded in 1984, the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan is considered young amongst its
peers but is one of the fastest growing in assets, totaling approximately $900 million in December 2018.
The foundationâs success places them in the top 30 of approximately 800 community foundations
nationwide. The foundation raised $94 million in new gifts in 2018.
It serves seven counties and approximately 40 percent of the Michigan population and is anchored by
the City of Detroit. The foundation is guided by a 57-member, highly-engaged board of trustees which
has encouraged the foundation to be innovative and entrepreneurial, a hallmark quality of metropolitan
Detroitâs resurgence.
The foundation is a full-service philanthropic organization leading the way to positive change in its
region. As a permanent community endowment, built by gifts from thousands of individuals and
organizations, the foundation supports a wide variety of activities benefiting education, arts and culture,
health, human services, community development and civic affairs. The foundation has distributed more
than $1 billion in grants to nonprofit organizations since 1984.
The vice president, philanthropic services will serve as chief fundraising officer and manager of the
philanthropic services department. The foundation is currently successfully completing a five-year asset
development plan with an objective to secure $400 million in new gifts and irrevocable commitments.
The vice president will play a pivotal role in developing a new plan and leading a sophisticated
fundraising and stewardship program focused on the expansion of individual giving from key donor
prospects.
The vice president will operate with the highest standards of integrity and trust as well as have superb
knowledge of fundraising best practices applicable to the operations of a community foundation. The
vice president will work with key stakeholders, staff and trustees to strengthen an already robust culture
of philanthropy and educate on immerging trends in the art and science of the fundraising profession.
The vice president will be collegial, work toward a collective goal and be willing to roll up his/her
sleeves in the best interest of the organization.
