Executive Director

The Melville Charitable Trust, an innovative and highly respected foundation dedicated to supporting solutions to prevent and end homelessness, seeks a dynamic new executive director. Since its inception in 1990, the Trust has pioneered models of supportive housing and community solutions and advanced important and far-reaching policy, research, and advocacy initiatives locally and nationally.

Today, with an endowment of $135 million, the Trust is the largest foundation in the United States exclusively devoted to preventing and ending homelessness, and its influence reaches far beyond the dollars it grants. It is a complex organization, serving as a catalytic grantmaker, convener, and national voice on supportive housing, while operating its own model programs and real estate investments in Hartford, Connecticut.

The executive director must bring a demonstrated commitment to the mission of the Melville Trust along with a record of strategic leadership in mission driven organizations, ideally ones that are involved in issues of homelessness, affordable housing, mental health, community revitalization, and/or related issues.

A full position profile is available at http://www.imsearch.com/, and all inquiries, nominations, and applications should be directed in confidence to the national search firm, Isaacson, Miller at melville@imsearch.com.

The Melville Trust is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and welcomes a diverse pool of candidates in this search.
