The Slingshot Director is an opportunity to grow an innovative fund created by next generation donors from an entrepreneurial, big vision start-up to a fully fledged and strategic next phase. This will be achieved by harnessing the passion and creativity of a leadership team of 20- and 30-something philanthropists who identified the need to establish a source of funding for experimental organizations that engage mainly unaffiliated young Jews in North American Jewish life. The Slingshot Fund is attracting a new generation of donors, many of whom would otherwise be unlikely to support or participate in Jewish life.

This exciting and rapidly growing entrepreneurial idea is now ready, two years after its inception, for a dedicated Director to take Slingshot to the next level-to realize its vision of creating and sustaining the new Jewish life.

The project consists of the following:

  • The Slingshot Guide: A Resource to Jewish Innovation - This annually published Zagat-style guide showcases 50 organizations which most closely resonate with the next generation of Jewish funders.
  • The Slingshot Fund - Designed to highlight, encourage and provide support for a subset of the undercapitalized organizations featured in the Slingshot Guide, the Fund aims to provide a new model for raising and distributing grants by engaging people in Jewish philanthropy who would otherwise not be involved.
  • The specific responsibilities of the Director will include:
    • Coordinating the annual grant cycle including distributing Request for Proposals, managing the investor/grantee relationships, including administration of grant agreements, reporting, and organizing all site visits
    • Overseeing annual production of the Slingshot Guide which includes researching, evaluating, writing and distributing the publication in print and online to funders
    • Marketing the Fund to next generation Jewish audiences, multi-generational family foundations, Jewish community foundations and Federation endowment funds and others in the community interested in investing in the next generation
    • Planning the Slingshot Guide launch event and symposium, and funder events throughout the year
    • Managing investor relations, including writing grant proposals and liaising with investors
    • Production of a monthly Slingshot e-newsletter and quarterly investor report
    • Managing www.slingshotfund.org and the online funding community.

Ideally, we are looking for someone with the following traits and experience:

  • 6-8+ years of experience working within either a development or grantmaking environment
  • Excellent oral and written presentation skills to relate effectively with potential funders and grantees
  • Self-motivated
  • Creative
  • Extremely detail-oriented and organized
  • Prior experience in planning large-scale events and building communities/networks
  • Desire to work in a close-knit, small, self-supportive team
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook)
  • Web 2.0 experience
  • Passion for innovation and Jewish community
  • Interest, and ability to work, in an experimental, “bottom up” culture
  • A sense of humor

A Bachelor’s degree is required; an advanced degree is preferred.

A competitive salary commensurate with experience and an attractive benefits package is offered. Applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds are encouraged.
