This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead a philanthropy and major gifts function at a fast-growing, values led charity with a powerful mission and an already impressive roster of long term corporate partners. About The Talent Foundry Since 2009, we've helped nearly 700,000 young people aged 7-18 from underserved backgrounds discover their talents, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed in education and work.

A note on AI We embrace innovative technology in our work, and you're welcome to use AI tools to help structure or refine your application.

We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
