Summary

Maine Community Foundation (“MaineCF”) is building a better Maine – more equitable, vibrant, and prosperous – by bringing people and resources together. Through partnerships and broad community leadership based on shared values, our work supports positive individual and population-level change. Started with a $10 contribution in 1983, MaineCF now is the only statewide community foundation and second-largest foundation overall with assets of $800 million and growing. Our team of 50+ professional people – with relationships with local, nonprofit, and state leaders across all 16 Maine counties – gives MaineCF a unique ability to make community investments that make a difference for people across the state. You can learn more about us by visiting our website: www.mainecf.org.

As we move into our fifth decade of work, we are mindful that the communities we serve are confronting myriad challenges and that people of color, people living in rural communities, and those with low incomes continue to lack access to necessary services. MaineCF is committed to addressing the big challenges facing Maine in collaboration with our donors, nonprofits, government leaders, and business partners.

MaineCF is looking for its next Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer (VP/CFO). Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and working alongside other members of the Management Team, the VP/CFO oversee all financial functions of the organization, including budgeting, financial planning and analysis, investment management, and fiscal operations. This role is critical to ensuring MaineCF’s long-term financial health and its ability to deliver on its mission throughout the state. The VP/CFO will provide strategic financial leadership and manage a team of eight individuals. Direct reports to the VP/CFO include the Senior Director of Finance, the Investment Accounting Manager, and the Team Administrator.

MaineCF employs a team of 54 staff who work from the main office in Ellsworth, a second office in Portland, and remotely throughout the state. We invest in our own people and processes to ensure we can help our neighbors thrive. By strengthening our financial systems and aligning resources with the needs of Maine communities, MaineCF will be positioned to better serve the people of Maine. This is an exciting opportunity for a strategic financial leader who is energized and inspired by the opportunity to shape the foundation’s financial future and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of MaineCF’s mission.
