Ching Tien Foundation for Women
The Ching Tien Foundation for Women (CTFW) identifies and prepares the next generation of women leaders by providing young women from Asia with global opportunities to pursue advanced academic studies and leadership training. CTFW’s programs provide young women with scholarship funding and a framework to develop the mindset, confidence, and abilities to become leaders of tomorrow. Scholarship recipients undertake social impact projects, receive mentorship, and are required to envision plans to give back to their communities.
In recent decades, Asian economies have become increasingly dynamic, but gender inequality remains deeply entrenched in local culture, impeding the development of women leaders. In particular, women from working class and underprivileged communities lack access to higher education and global exposure that can transform them into leaders and role models, especially in the social impact space, where women’s voices are desperately needed.
One year since its establishment, CTFW is ready to build a formal fundraising program and professionalize its operations. To help secure the Foundation’s bright future, a full-time, Vancouver-based Executive Director (ED) role has been created.
The Foundation therefore seeks an excited and passionate leader to:
- Make a tremendous difference in the lives of women through education and leadership development;
- Bring their fundraising expertise to secure funding partners and resources;
- Broaden the Foundation’s community engagement, scope, and awareness;
- Leverage the Foundation’s mission – and the legacy of its predecessor charity, if appropriate – to create a network of relationships in support of the Foundation;
- Ensure the Foundation’s human resource needs – staff and volunteers alike – are meeting its growth needs;
- Develop and execute the Foundation’s strategic plan.
