About Us

Jefferson Community Foundation is a vibrant and creative rural community at a crossroads. We are committed to building the capacity of community members to engage and participate in solutions to the challenges they care most about. Our goal is to connect diverse people, ideas, and resources to build a future of opportunity for all in our county.

We are not a traditional community foundation. We are setting a new standard for how community foundations take action and collaborate with the communities they serve. Our motto is GIVE, BUILD, SOLVE. We help people better understand the landscape of challenges and opportunities we face as a community, so they can better target their gifts of time, talent, and funds. We are long-term partners to local nonprofits, helping them develop the resources and relationships they need to grow stronger and more collaborative. We weave people together to make real change on big regional issues like housing and childcare.

We are proud of the significant success we have had in engaging local donors, raising awareness of community needs, and igniting positive change in Jefferson County. We know our model works, but if JCF is to scale to address our community's increasingly complex and interconnected challenges in ways that are truly systems-changing, we must expand our team's size and capacity.

We are seeking a Development Director who is passionate about our mission and values, and who is committed to building a more equitable and just community. If you are a strategic thinker with a proven track record of successful fundraising experience, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
