The San Diego Kingdom Impact Foundation is a newly established, privately funded charitable foundation created by two San Diego business leaders committed to making a meaningful impact throughout San Diego County.

  • 8. Maintain professional and respectful communication with prospective, approved, and declined applicants.
  • 9. Monitor funded organizations, grant requirements, use of funds, intended outcomes, and impact reporting.
  • 10. Represent the Foundation with professionalism, warmth, humility, and discretion at select meetings, site visits, and community events.
Qualifications:
  • 1. Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent.
  • 2. 7–10 years of relevant leadership experience in philanthropy, nonprofit management, foundation operations, fundraising, donor relations, or community engagement.
  • 2. Strong knowledge of and established relationships within the San Diego nonprofit, philanthropic, civic, church, or community-service landscape preferred.
  • 3. Strong financial literacy and the ability to assess an organization’s financial health, operating strength, and long-term sustainability.
  • 4. Excellent interviewing, research, analytical, due-diligence, and written recommendation skills.
  • 5. Executive-level judgment, maturity, discretion, and confidence presenting thoughtful recommendations to the Foundation’s principals.
  • 6. Experience helping launch a foundation, nonprofit, community initiative, brand development, outreach, or other mission-driven organization preferred.
  • 7. Ability to understand, respect, and professionally represent the Foundation’s Christian mission and faith-based charitable priorities.
  • 8. Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with nonprofit and community leaders.
  • 9. Highly organized, proactive, accountable, and comfortable working independently while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
  • 10. Based in the San Diego region and available for regular in-person meetings, nonprofit site visits, and select community events.
