Greater Tacoma Community Foundation is a nationally accredited
nonprofit community foundation that has been partnering with Pierce
County community members since 1981, when three county leaders were
inspired to create an organization that could support the needs and
opportunities of the growing community. GTCF began with $10,000 in
assets and a goal of being a catalyst to convince disparate groups
to work together towards a common objective. In the four decades
since, GTCF has grown significantly, reaching more than $160
million in total assets, overseeing more than 450 funds, and giving
out more than $150 million in grants and scholarships. Through
endowed resources, individually directed grants, and community
partnerships, GTCF is a force for positive change.
GTCF has a mission to build a thriving Pierce County now and for
generations to come as a catalyst, connector, and knowledge
facilitator. Focusing on values of building trust, advancing
equity, growing relationships, and continuous learning, GTCF
remains committed to connecting people, knowledge, and funding to
build a racially equitable, accessible, inclusive Pierce
County.
Partnerships are key in ensuring success towards Greater Tacoma
Community Foundation’s goals. GTCF updated its Strategic Framework
to formally recognize the importance of racial equity, access, and
inclusion for Pierce County to thrive. Along with this, GTCF is
creating opportunities and pathways for fund advisors and aligned
funders to achieve greater impact through the principles of
continuous learning, trust-based philanthropy, racial equity, and
relationship-driven community knowledge. At the same time, GTCF is
also committing its discretionary funding and community impact
resources to catalyze community identification and removal of
system barriers rooted in racism around four key building blocks of
generational wealth: housing; thriving children and youth; access
to capital; and civic voice and power.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
experience is required for this position as is at seven years of
professional, relevant experience in an organization of similar
size and scope. All applications must be accompanied by a cover
letter and résumé. Cover letters should be responsive to the
