District Partners Executive Search has been retained to identify a Finance Manager for a national nonprofit dedicated to advancing equity and capacity-building across the education and social-impact sectors.

Our client is a mission-driven organization that partners with foundations, nonprofits, and community organizations to help them strengthen their infrastructure and expand their impact. Through a unique platform that connects funders, expert service providers, and organizations in need of support, they have enabled thousands of nonprofits nationwide to access the expertise and resources required to grow and thrive.

At the heart of the social-impact ecosystem, this woman-founded and values-driven organization is nationally recognized for reimagining how philanthropic funding translates into real-world change—combining innovation, accountability, and a deep commitment to equity.

The Finance Manager will play a pivotal role in ensuring the organization’s financial systems, contracting, and reporting processes operate seamlessly as it scales. This individual will oversee the organization’s consulting-wallet model—a philanthropic funding structure that distributes flexible, capacity-building dollars directly to community organizations—while managing all related contracts, payments, and financial tracking.

Blending financial rigor with operational creativity, the Finance Manager will collaborate closely with senior leadership to strengthen internal systems and ensure the responsible, transparent use of funds.

This is an ideal opportunity for a finance professional who thrives in dynamic, mission-oriented environments—someone who enjoys translating complex financial processes into systems that enable sustainable impact at scale.
