The board of trustees seeks an energetic, inspiring, and creative leader with leadership experience and financial and management skills to advance its ambitious regional philanthropic outreach. The Community Foundation hosts $90 million in assets and manages 280 charitable funds. 

The Community Foundation has served as Northeast Alabama's Philanthropic Partner since 1999. Its region comprises nine counties with 500,000 residents and covers 5,705 square miles. Please browse our site and learn more about our work.
