Come join the GCF team!
Do you love when all the numbers line up? Are you a wizard with figures and a financial professional with personality, who cares about the bigger picture?
If so, an over $16.5 Million endowment, countless generous donors and committed, community-focused local charities, need you!
At The Guelph Community Foundation, a charitable public foundation, you’ll work with an experienced leader who is futureproofing value-based philanthropic leadership in one of Canada’s most generous cities. You’ll learn more on our website, but in a nutshell (or nest egg, if you prefer) a Community Foundation pools the charitable gifts from donors into permanent, income-earning endowments that provide consistent, sustainable revenue sources for the people and organizations working to solve societal issues related to health & wellness, environment, arts & culture, youth advancement, justice and community resilience. If purpose-driven work fires you up as much as a well-designed spreadsheet, let us know who you are and share your information with us.
