Founded in 2001 by Jessica Seinfeld, Good+Foundation addresses multigenerational poverty by pairing donations of critically needed goods with transformational services to help low-income parents create an upward trajectory for their children. Over the past 20 years, Good+Foundation has donated almost $45 million in children’s items to a national network of over 125 anti-poverty programs.
In recent years, Good+Foundation has focused on one of the root causes of family poverty — a father’s absence. Committed to upending multigenerational poverty, Good+Foundation uses an innovative approach to father engagement. Working with noncustodial and formerly incarcerated fathers, it partners with a national network of social service programs to give fathers the tools, dignity, and opportunities to re-engage with their families so that they can be the dads they want to be.
The Opportunity
Good+Foundation is seeking a positive and engaging leader for the role of Vice President for Development (VPD).

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and collaborating closely with the Chief Program and Operating Officer, the VPD will be an integral member of the senior leadership team.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in institutional giving and direct experience securing foundation and corporate support for a social/human service organization. Candidates must have a genuine interest in Good+Foundation’s mission to upend multigenerational poverty by working with mothers, fathers, and caregivers to meet their everyday needs.
