The Grocery Foundation launches search for new Executive Director

The Grocery Foundation is an Ontario-based non-profit established in 1979 when a group of grocery leaders in Ontario decided that it was time for their industry to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Canadian children. For close to 50 years, these collaborative group of retailers, food, beverage, CPG manufacturers and allied partners have raised more than $100 million to provide a better life for Canadian children at risk of going to school on an empty stomach.

With the vision of no child should go to school hungry in Canada, The Grocery Foundation's initiatives span its Make Happy Tummies™ fundraising platform supported by shoppers, retailers and sponsors, a Voucher Program which helps approved student nutrition programs access healthy foods at significant savings and its exceptional Night to Nurture Gala, the industry event of the year which also raises funds for mental health supports for children and youth in Canada.

Currently, The Grocery Foundation is seeking a new Executive Director to join The Grocery Foundation, a meaningful opportunity to lead with impact. Reporting to a dynamic Board of Directors, the Executive Director is an inspiring executive leader and a passionate ambassador for The Grocery Foundation with the proven ability to grow successful brands, programs and events. Quickly able to engage, inspire and build trust with its Board, leadership team and multiple stakeholders, the Executive Director brings a strategic mindset and 10-15+ years of outstanding executive leadership, relationship-building, marketing and communications, operations, financial, risk management and governance experience.

This is an outstanding leadership opportunity to set The Grocery Foundation’s strategic path and successfully identify and execute new and exciting opportunities for its continued growth while advancing its mission of getting food to hungry children, now and for the many years ahead.
