Resources Legacy Fund seeks a highly skilled, experienced, and strategic President to guide its next chapter of growth and impact.
As the leader of Resources Legacy Fund (RLF), its expansive fiscal sponsorship program, and its affiliated entities—Fund for a Better Future and Shared Ascent Fund—the President will collaborate with philanthropic partners and cross-sector leaders to advance lasting environmental and social change.
RLF delivers significant outcomes for planet and people through trusted partnerships and creative campaigns. Rooted in California and expanding across Western North America and beyond, RLF has a 25-year track record of supporting initiatives at every scale. The President will inherit a successful and sophisticated organization and will bring the right tools, talent, reputation, and relationships to continue to turn bold ideas into measurable results.
The President must be a strategic thinker, fundraiser, relationship builder, and persuasive communicator who inspires trust, mobilizes resources, and supports the success of others. The ideal candidate has led complex, mission-aligned organizations through growth, transition, and increasing impact. They must have a strong record of advancing conservation outcomes and a demonstrated ability to build and sustain influential public-private partnerships.
Compensation
This is a full-time, exempt, benefit-eligible position. The anticipated annual salary range is $525,000-$625,000 commensurate with experience.
RLF offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, sick and vacation leave, paid parental leave, and a retirement plan. RLF also offers a technology allowance, student loan repayment assistance, the Calm app, and approximately 16 paid holidays per year.
Location
RLF is a remote-first organization with a preference for candidates based in the American West, given the organization’s programmatic focus and key partner relationships in the region. Flexibility and readiness to travel are essential to fulfilling the role’s leadership responsibilities.
While RLF maintains a small administrative office in Sacramento, it has operated fully remotely since 2020 and does not maintain a central headquarters. The next President will help shape the organization’s evolving approach to place-based collaboration, in-person convening, and the balance between remote and physical presence.
