Position Description
Seattle International Foundation (SIF)
Executive Director
Seattle, WA
Salary: DOQ
The Seattle International Foundation (SIF) was founded as a supporting organization to the Seattle Foundation for the purpose of increasing and enhancing international philanthropy and development efforts from the Pacific Northwest and to serve as a resource to our community. Founded by Bill and Paula Clapp, this unique organization is focused on international philanthropy in the Pacific Northwest and abroad.
In its national focus, SIF encourages the growth of the Seattle region as a center of development expertise and philanthropy, and works to influence the U.S. government’s priority of poverty, inequity, and global development work. The organization’s dedicated work abroad consists primarily in the Latin America region with the emphasis on Central America, creating a convergence of efforts that will bring about long-term, sustainable change to provide opportunities for a productive future to people living at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
The organization’s financial support is very strategic in nature. SIF supports leverage points where significant progress can be made in attitudes and practices related to international development that lead to social change, greater equity in opportunity, and reductions in poverty. The foundation plans on a giving level of approximately $4 million per year. SIF is open to the possibility that others may choose to join the foundation as grantors.
Responsibilities and Duties
We seek an Executive Director who can lead this young organization and extend its influence in the area in which it works.

Complementing passion, this individual will have an ability to understand and analyze the business side of organizations and programs with additional competencies in working with, guiding, and building young organizations. Good oral communication skills with the ability to enlist others to a cause as well as experience in setting and meeting deadlines are desired. The ED will be required to travel from time to time, and Spanish speaking ability is a plus.
