    Description

    The Bronx Community Foundation (BxCF) is the first and only community foundation solely dedicated to the Bronx. Our mission is to invest in community power to eradicate inequity and build sustainable futures for all Bronxites. To date, BxCF has invested over $15 million into the Bronx and works as a borough-wide convener, aligning direct service nonprofits, community leaders, and public and private sector partners to drive systems-level impact.

    BxCF is seeking experienced, cross-sector leaders to join its Board of Directors at a pivotal moment of growth and impact.

    As the Foundation enters its next phase, we are expanding our Board and looking for leaders across industries including finance, technology, law, real estate, healthcare, and corporate sectors who are committed to advancing equity and opportunity.

    Responsibilities

    • Serve a two-year term (renewable)
    • Attend a minimum of four Board meetings annually
    • Provide governance, fiduciary, and strategic oversight
    • Invest a give/get commitment of $25,000 annually
    • Act as an ambassador for the Foundation
    • Support fundraising, partnerships, and organizational growth
    • Engage in events, convenings, and stakeholder outreach

    Who Should Apply

    We are seeking visionary leaders who:

    • Bring deep professional expertise and strong networks
    • Are committed to advancing equity and systems-level impact
    • See investing in historically overlooked communities as both a social and economic imperative
    • Are excited to help shape the future of the Bronx

    This is a unique opportunity to join a high-impact Board working at the intersection of philanthropy, policy, and community leadership.
