Mission-driven hiring deserves a mission-driven marketplace.

Foundation List creates a dedicated place where organizations doing meaningful work and professionals seeking meaningful careers can find one another.

Why Foundation List Exists

Hiring for a Mission Is Different.

Nonprofits, foundations, healthcare organizations, schools, universities, associations, and other mission-driven employers are not simply filling positions. They are building teams responsible for communities, programs, services, education, philanthropy, research, advocacy, and impact.

Foundation List was created to make those organizations easier to discover and their opportunities easier to find. We help employers expand the visibility of important openings while giving professionals a focused destination for purpose-driven work.

Employers do not simply need more applicants. They need the right people to discover their mission.
