Early Childhood Funders Collaborative is seeking nominations and applications for the next Director of the Raising Child Care Fund to build on RCCF’s strong foundation and guide its next phase. The Director will lead strategy, fundraising, grantmaking, funder engagement and education, and relationships with grantees and movement partners.

Reporting to the ECFC Executive Director, the RCCF Director will be a leader who can move credibly between philanthropy and movements and understands both the urgency of community-led change and the opportunities and constraints of institutional philanthropy. They will bring a deep appreciation for grassroots organizing and power building; the judgment to know when philanthropy should lead, convene, leverage its influence, or step back; and the ability to make a compelling case for sustained investment. The next Director will build new relationships and alliances while stewarding the values, partnerships, and community-led approach that have made RCCF effective.
