Uplifting young people. Addressing the needs of vulnerable populations. Promoting health. Supporting the arts. The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation—committed to making the Mid-Ohio Valley region a more vibrant place to call home—fuels countless causes across 11 counties in West Virginia and Ohio. Since 1963, the Foundation has worked in partnership with the citizens of the Mid-Ohio Valley region to support the charitable causes in which they believe and shape a culture of philanthropy and service that touches every aspect of life in the community. The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation is helping to write the next chapter of possibility for the Mid-Ohio Valley—addressing the pressing needs of the community and building a brighter future for generations to come. The Opportunity The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation seeks an experienced and dynamic community leader from the foundation, corporate, nonprofit, or public sector to build on its 63-year legacy of community leadership, inclusiveness, and integrity, and to guide the Foundation and the region to an even more prosperous future. This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to lead one of West Virginia’s most respected and impactful philanthropic institutions. The Parkersburg Area Community Foundation celebrates a proven track record of sound management of its assets and strong results from its philanthropic investments in significant community initiatives. The Foundation’s new Executive Director will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a region rich in history, resilience, and possibility. The Executive Director has the opportunity to work in a facility fitting for the executive leader of an esteemed institution. The Foundation’s central office is housed in a fully renovated single-story former church facility directly across from the City Park, with a central conference room with video-conference capability and ample parking. The Board’s commitment to the Foundation’s sustainability is clear – the Foundation has no debt associated with its facility and its reserves are strong for its building, technology, and operations. Relationships are at the heart of the Foundation’s work. The next Executive Director will thrive in public life, building partnerships with donors to advance their philanthropic goals, with community organizations to support bold initiatives that promote the region’s vitality, and with community leaders to align community investments for maximum impact. In partnership with a committed Board of Directors, the new Executive Director will shape the vision and strategy for the Foundation’s next chapter. Together, they will nurture a culture of generosity to broaden stakeholder engagement, expand community investment, and elevate awareness of the Foundation. The new Executive Director will join the Foundation at a time of great need in the Parkersburg area. Similar to other Appalachian communities, Parkersburg continues to be affected by challenges. Issues such as the affordable housing crisis; the opioid epidemic and other substance use disorders; and critical, unmet need in the State’s foster care system all demand visionary, creative leadership and transformational investments. In addition, the committed nonprofit leaders of the area presently struggle with uncertainty and loss in government funding, which limits their ability to strategically respond to these pressing issues and growing needs. The new Executive Director will not only connect donors to organizations and programs in need but will join community leaders to build a strategy to respond to these challenges and ensure that everyone in the region has an opportunity to thrive. They will hold a seat of extraordinary influence and invite diverse community members to the table, upholding the Foundation’s commitment to inclusion and to ensuring all voices are represented. Leading a passionate and knowledgeable staff, the incoming Executive Director will drive the vision to increase the Foundation’s impact, engaging current stakeholders and inspiring the next generation of donors to engage the Foundation as a partner in achieving their philanthropic goals. The ideal candidate brings strong management expertise and is committed to accountability and to working collaboratively to maintain a culture of excellence among the staff. In addition, they will combine their commitment to the mission of the Foundation with their understanding of nonprofit operations, community relations, finance, and management to grow the assets under management and increase the Foundation’s ability to make transformational investments in the community.
