Grants Administrator

Broad Reach Foundation is a private family foundation focused on promoting healthy ecosystems, coexistence, community resilience, and human well-being. The Foundation’s varied grantmaking priorities include toxic chemical reform, climate change, healthy ecosystems, the State of Maine, nutrition, careworker rights, the arts, and international human rights and diplomacy. Their grants nurture new ideas, champion underrepresented viewpoints, and advance innovative approaches that lead to sustainable change.

The Foundation will make significant shifts to its grantmaking in 2025 and seeks to fill a newly created full-time, Grants Administrator role. Historically, Broad Reach Foundation has made its grants through Donor Advised Funds (DAF). Starting this year, the Foundation will begin direct grantmaking and reduce reliance on the use of DAFs over time. In addition, the Foundation will replace its existing grants management system with a new system to better meet its evolving needs. In this newly created position, the Grants Administrator will play a leadership role in supporting these shifts, including selecting and implementing the new grants management system, as well as managing day-to-day grants administration for the Foundation as it steadily increases its grants budget. The Foundation currently employs a part-time Grants and Database contractor who will stay in place for a few months to ensure a smooth transition to the new, permanent Grants Administrator position.
