Marguerite Casey Foundation supports leaders who work to shift the balance of power in their communities toward working people and families, and who have the vision and capacity for building a truly representative economy. We are an organization driven by a belief that working people and families need to be protagonists in shaping our democracy and economy. We believe that freedom is possible when we support those on the frontlines to imagine freely, try bold ideas, and organize the communities we care about.

Our values are:

• Belonging & Representation: We are intentional and vigilant in identifying and undoing racism and white supremacy on every level in order to create an environment where acceptance, dignity, and justice are experienced by all.
• Mutual Respect: We recognize the inherent value of people and relationships. We are direct, clear, and timely in our communication and treat everyone with care and humility.
• Trust: We show and earn trust through honesty, transparency, and being responsible for our actions, words, attitudes, and follow-through.

In order to be successful at the Marguerite Casey Foundation, you must be able to:

• Work in an environment where curiosity, not certainty, informs our work.
• Build rapport and trust with our team, grant recipients, and field leaders.
• Work collaboratively with our team, grant recipients, and field leaders.
• Lead and manage your own body of work, from inception to completion.
• Set expectations of our team, grant recipients, and field leaders appropriately.
• Know when you are in over your head and communicate it to our team, trusting that we will be here to support you.
