Communications and Program Associate

The Communications and Program Associate plays a critical role in helping the F. M. Kirby Foundation achieve its mission. As a voice of the Foundation, this team member is responsible for ensuring that our organization’s public messages and platforms – including the website, press releases, and social media – elevate the work of our grantees and help the Foundation execute its strategic plan priorities. The Communications and Program Associate is additionally responsible for internal communications between the staff and the Board of Directors. The Associate will also oversee a cross-section of the Foundation’s grantmaking, serving as the primary lead for 30-40 grants. As such, the Associate will work with the Director of Finance in developing and maintaining a budget, with the Grant Administrator in evaluating and managing a grant, with other Program Officers and Associates in aligning goals, and with the Foundation President in overall grantmaking strategy and special initiatives.
