About Borealis Philanthropy
From Black-led movement-building, to queer and trans liberation, to disability justice and inclusion, community organizers are working every day to bring about transformational change. Borealis Philanthropy exists to listen to, invest in, and support them. Our staff of experts come from the communities we serve, and bring their lived experiences, values, and visions to the work of supporting community-driven change through grantee and funder collaboration.
As a philanthropic intermediary, Borealis Philanthropy builds bridges between funders and organizers by creating opportunities for impact-driven investments. We team with funders to conceive, develop, and implement grantmaking initiatives that resource the many innovative organizations within each of our respective grantmaking funds. In partnering with philanthropy, we remove barriers to funding for grassroots organizations and invest in intersectional movements, building a future that serves all of us.
Where We Are
While Borealis Philanthropy has been quite public about what we believe it takes to fund transformational change as a social justice intermediary, we know the reality that it is rare for intermediaries like ours to consistently be set up for long term success and sustainability.
As Borealis Philanthropy enters our tenth year of partnering with funders and movement leaders and organizers to build the liberatory future we believe possible, we are leaning more deeply into our theory of change , and intentionally investing in the next decade of resourcing justice movements by building an infrastructure to actualize our organizational potential.
Our Values
Alchemy + Healing, Atrevida + Audacity, Accountability + Integrity, Ubuntu + Interconnectedness

This individual will be responsible for ensuring that the organization not only meets its revenue targets, but is actively working to bring on new donors, with priorities to:
Grow our individual donors and family foundation relationships,
Strengthen and expand our institutional philanthropy portfolio, and
Explore opportunities for corporate giving strategies.

VICE PRESIDENT, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT & INNOVATION OVERVIEW
The Housing Partnership Network is a national membership organization with a deep commitment to new business development and innovation. With over 30 years of developing new social enterprises that help address gaps in the affordable housing sector for scaled impact, our innovation work is central to who we are. This work primarily grows out of peer exchange, which distinguishes HPN and is how we explore, create, and manage social enterprises.
The VP, Business Development & Innovation is responsible for spearheading this work with HPN staff and members to advance new businesses, and some program concepts, that fulfill a collective HPN member need, strategically address needs in the affordable housing and community development marketplace, and support HPN and member sustainability. This role has a particular focus on creating businesses that generate recurring revenue for HPN, in addition to the primary objective of creating member value. With a number of HPN businesses recently spinning off our platform, the person in this position will have primary responsibility for establishing the next generation of new HPN social enterprises.
The Housing Partnership Network has launched fourteen business enterprises to date, demonstrating a long and successful track record of creating social enterprises that stem from and benefit its members and the sector. The VP Business Development & Innovation will continue this legacy by working closely with HPN members and staff to identify, shape and evolve enterprise opportunities that will cover a broad range of areas, with many focusing on advancing initiatives that further HPN’s commitment to social justice and racial equity.

The VP will work with internal HPN business line and program leads, industry partners, and member organizations from across the country to explore, research, design, pilot, incubate and launch new business ventures. Elements that are critical to success in this role include, among others, strong business development skills; business acquisition and valuations, significant experience with business and program innovation; connecting with HPN members through peer exchange and direct engagement; mining and tracking innovation ideas; working with multi-disciplinary groups through a collaborative process to address and reconcile the wide range of stakeholder needs for a new business to succeed; and working across HPN and its membership to ensure that staff and members can easily connect and collaborate around innovative ideas.
The VP will be a mission-driven leader who will utilize their expertise across housing, innovation, public policy, and racial and economic equity to scale the impact of HPN and its members through collective social enterprise. The VP will be nimble, flexible, and adaptable, be a creative non-linear thinker who is comfortable with ambiguity and pursuing multiple paths and be able to quickly figure out new and complicated business areas.
