Executive Director: Patricia Kind Family Foundation

The Patricia Kind Family Foundation (PKFF) is a private family foundation grounded in the values and legacy of the late Patricia and Philip Kind and their families. Established in 1998, the Foundation reflects their deep commitment to service. Today, PKFF continues to be family-led, with a board comprised of multi-generational family members.

Since its founding, PKFF has awarded more than $65 million in grants to Philadelphia organizations with budgets generally less than $1 million. The Foundation funds organizations that are deeply embedded in their communities and led by individuals with lived experience or close proximity to the populations they serve.

Mission: The mission of the Patricia Kind Family Foundation is to financially support Philadelphia organizations that help those struggling daily with racial and economic injustices. The Foundation encourages practical and caring community solutions to poverty through supporting direct service, capacity building, and mission-related investments. This includes helping individuals and families obtain physical and mental health care and related human services, such as food, shelter, clothing, and education. We strive to have the greatest possible impact with all of our assets.

The Patricia Kind Family Foundation is looking for its first non-family member Executive Director—a leader with lived experience with the historically marginalized Philadelphia communities that the Foundation supports. This person will have relationships with local nonprofit partners, funders, and community leaders and will be eager to cultivate new relationships that will help grow and continue the Foundation’s impact in Philadelphia. They will create a welcoming, inclusive workplace and ensure the Foundation’s mission is carried out effectively.

Responsibilities:

1. The Executive Director will oversee all operations: grant-making, budgeting, mission-aligned investing, funding partnerships, and board collaboration.
2. They will have experience with and be comfortable handling interpersonal relationships with care and professionalism.
3. Strong ethical standards, deep integrity, and a steadfast commitment to equity and inclusion are essential.

Patricia Kind Family Foundation (PKFF) is an equal opportunity employer. ProFound is representing PKFF in its search for an Executive Director.
