The Programs & Community Partnerships team was developed to serve our region and its many communities, empower the people, organizations, institutions, and businesses to achieve healthy, equitable, and sustainable success. One of the core functions of this team is to blend all our resources—from skills to funding—to enable shared prosperity and well-being. The foundation provides a toolkit of resources which include grant funding, loans, scholarships, leveraging outside funds, donor engagement, programs, convening & networking, capacity building, leadership training, advocacy, research, policy and systems transformation and public/private partnerships.
This role oversees the Health & Equity portfolio, which advances the health and well-being of residents and communities throughout the Foundation’s service area while supporting BIPOC-led and BIPOC serving organizations working to promote wellness, safety, and belonging. The portfolio focuses on addressing disparities experienced by historically underserved communities through three core grantmaking initiatives:
• The Humboldt Health Foundation (HHF) expands access to wellness and supports innovative solutions that improve community health. Through direct assistance and strategic grantmaking, HHF advances physical and mental well-being, reduces health disparities, and increases access to care for underserved and marginalized populations in Humboldt County.
• The Just Futures program invests in the power and resilience of diverse communities by amplifying the perspectives and leadership of organizations that support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities through our region.
• Trinity Trust is dedicated to improving the quality of life in Trinity County through strategic investments in local communities. The Trust provides grant opportunities for charitable organizations that serve Trinity County and scholarship opportunities to help local students pursue higher education.
Senior Program Officers are responsible for 5 main areas:
1. Grantmaking and resource deployment
2. Development and ongoing management of initiatives, programs and projects
3. Community Engagement
4. Collaboration and communication
5. Evaluation and Learning
Under these 5 main functions Senior Program Officers will utilize their consultation and listening skills to surface community needs, provide analysis and bring back those needs and opportunities to the foundation in order to deploy resources across our 4- county region. The ideal candidate will carry out job duties with an emphasis on adaptability, responsiveness and critical thinking, cultural humility, respect for sensitive information and confidentiality, and have an ability to work collaboratively with community partners and staff teams. This position is a full participant in working with the Programs & Community Partnerships Team and across the organization, to practice organizational values of community, empathy, and equity. Senior Program Officers will be called upon to serve on collaborative teams to meet responsive and urgent needs as well as programs and initiatives designed to meet longer term systemic community challenges, while also managing ongoing grantmaking, community engagement, and project management responsibilities.
