Appointment of Program Officer, Environment

Job Location
Hybrid in Eden Prairie, MN

Salary Range
$131,000 - $155,000 annually

Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies (MACP) is the umbrella over the grantmaking foundations created by the late Margaret Cargill: Margaret A. Cargill Foundation and Anne Ray Foundation. In keeping with Ms. Cargill's direction, MACP develops and implements integrated grantmaking strategies across seven domains: Animal Welfare, Arts & Culture, Disaster Relief & Recovery, Environment, Legacy & Opportunity, Quality of Life, and Teachers & Students.

Our mission is to provide meaningful assistance and support to society, the arts, and the environment.

Our grant-making approach is anchored in providing meaningful support through long-term relationships with strategic grantee partners to make a meaningful, measurable, and sustainable difference on priority problems within our domains. The two foundations have separate boards and investment portfolios but share a common mission. Margaret A. Cargill Foundation is a private foundation that came into existence upon Ms. Cargill's death in August 2006. At year-end 2023, MACF's assets are approximately $3.2 billion. Anne Ray Foundation is a supporting organization, which may make grants only to beneficiary organizations specifically named by Ms. Cargill. At year-end 2023, ARF's assets are approximately $4.9 billion. In 2023, total grants were over $330 million. The collective assets of MACP place it among the 10 largest philanthropies in the United States.

We are now seeking an inspiring, passionate, and experienced Program Officer to join our Environment Program, which aims to conserve and sustain terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems for the benefit of current and future generations. The Program Officer, Environment, is responsible for the continuous development, implementation, and management of our portfolio of work in Africa.

The successful candidate will bring a relevant track record of managing large and/or complex grant portfolios, preferably within a Foundation, and extensive experience in program development and grant implementation within the environment field, with proven capability to advance and leverage program interests.

For the full role description and person specification, as well as more information on MACP, please download the appointment details from our website: quoting reference number 7892. To apply, please upload a full curriculum vitae (detailing the nature, scope, and scale of responsibilities held) alongside a covering letter of application detailing relevant skills, experience, and motivation.

The deadline for applications is Monday, June 16 at 5 PM ET. Review of applicants will begin immediately. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship now or in the future.

MACP has identified a salary range of $131,000-$155,000 USD for this role. Actual starting salary of candidate will be commensurate with years, breadth, and depth of relevant experience, education, certifications, credentials, special skills, accomplishments, and other factors relevant to the position.

MACP benefits are generous and include:
  • Competitive compensation, including relocation support;
  • Professional development benefits, including opportunities to participate in relevant membership organizations and external learning activities;
  • A tuition reimbursement for employees pursuing college or advanced degrees or a certificate;
  • Strong medical, dental, and vision benefits for staff and their dependents with competitive monthly premiums and flexible spending accounts;
  • Reduced work week for all staff, with half-day closures on Fridays, year-round;
  • Minimum of four weeks of paid time off, in addition to a week-long year-end office closure;
  • Retirement programs, including 401(k) matching at 5%, with access to employer-paid financial planning resources;
    • In addition, the Organization may provide a discretionary contribution to employees' 401(k) plan that vests over a five-year period;
