Director, Grantmaking and Impact

The Director, Grantmaking and Impact will lead CAFC’s national granting and program
investment strategies. This position is central to driving the Foundation’s work as a
grantmaker and to helping identify high-potential programs that can be scaled through our
outcomes-based Venture Fund. This role is also critical to the Foundation’s influencing
work, where grant-funded insights and results help inform public dialogue and policy.

This individual will manage a high-performing team, oversee a multimillion-dollar granting
portfolio, including partnerships with child welfare authorities, community agencies, postsecondary
institutions, and funders. The role also oversees CAFC’s special annual grant to
the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CAST) through the Teddy Bear Fund.

As a people leader, this role includes direct supervision of three grants and programs team
and occasional oversight of seasonal interns, students or volunteers. This leader will be
expected to shape CAFC’s evolving vision for grantmaking, aligned with our impactfocused,
equity-informed strategy.
