Program Associate, Local Domain

GHR Foundation is a hope-fueled global funder of service to people and their limitless potential for good. In collaboration with partners and communities around the world, GHR reimagines what’s possible when accelerating progress locally – toward racial and educational equity in our community; globally – through change-making approaches to persistent development challenges; and in biomedical – on groundbreaking research to prevent Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias.

The program department stewards $50M+ in resources to pursue the foundation’s impact goals within three domains:
Biomedical, Global and Local. The program associate is responsible for supporting administrative coordination and quality grantmaking, documentation, and partnerships for one or more programs. The associate's work is primarily internal with occasional interaction with grantees and partners.

This position is in the foundation’s Local Domain primarily supporting the Education portfolio (approx. 85%) aimed at closing the education opportunity gap in Catholic K-12 schools serving majority low-income students of color, and supporting three Catholic universities. This position also includes a small portion of time to support the Twin Cities Racial Equity program (approx. 15%) in promoting economic prosperity for Black and Indigenous Minnesotans.

The Local Domain is comprised of four team members with an annual grant budget ranging from $10 - 14M per year.
