Perigee Fund was established by founder and donor Lisa Mennet, PhD. As an infant and early childhood mental health therapist to families and children, and a clinical educator and mentor to other professionals working with children and families, Dr. Mennet has experienced both the positive power of work across promotion, prevention and intervention, and the frustration from a lack of systemic training, programming, and financial resources in fields and for families.
Inspired to do more, she established Perigee Fund to promote a vision of communities in which every parent and primary caregiver has access to the supports they need to care for their children with confidence and joy.
Perigee Fund is seeking a Senior Program Officer with extensive experience in advocacy and policy. The ideal candidate will:
- Share a passion for Perigee's focus and vision, centered on babies and parents.
- Be eager to help build and shape a growing philanthropic organization.
- Demonstrate leadership through actions and results, promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-racism in policy processes and outcomes.
- Lead with humility and collaborate effectively.
- Possess the ability to navigate complex intersections of early childhood, family economic security, mental health, and related areas.
