Grants and Information Systems (GIS) Coordinator, William Penn Foundation

Posted by William Penn Foundation on October 22, 2024

The William Penn Foundation, founded by Otto and Phoebe Haas in 1945, is a leading American philanthropy located in Philadelphia with over $3.3 billion in assets and a $150 million annual grant budget. Our approach to grantmaking is focused on one central idea: let’s help make more lives better by connecting more people to more opportunities and more resources. We aim to do this work in the Philadelphia region particularly for groups of people who have often been shut out of opportunity in the past because of disinvestment, discrimination, or systemic inequities.

Position Overview

The GIS Coordinator will be responsible for three objectives within the Foundation’s operational strategy:

1. Ensure effective Foundation governance by facilitating Board effectiveness.
2. Ensure the efficient and timely execution of the Request for Proposal (RFP) and grant process through Foundation-wide administrative support.
3. Ensure successful event planning activities including scheduling meetings, drafting agendas, managing meeting logistics, and coordinating meeting follow up.

In addition, the GIS Coordinator will develop deep knowledge of the Board management process and manage relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
