Pacific Public Health Foundation

Public health matters to us all. It touches every one of our lives and protects us from some of the biggest crises of our time.

In BC, Pacific Public Health Foundation raises funds for public health research, helps facilitate and implement programs, and supports evidence to drive policies to inform immediate and measurable health impacts in communities across BC. Our programs and projects are grounded in the most pressing public health priorities for BC, like the toxic drug poisoning crisis, emerging pandemics, Indigenous health, and climate change effects.

We are the only charitable foundation in BC actively fundraising for public health initiatives. As an independent, non-governmental organization we focus on authentic, trust-based philanthropy.

We are in a crucial time for public health in BC. Therefore, it is exciting for the Foundation to be recruiting its next Chief Executive Officer to lead the growth and evolution of this essential organization. Paramount among the CEO’s tasks is to diversify its funding sources, refine its role with its partners, and leverage recent investments the Board has made to spur growth.

This is a compelling opportunity for a committed and passionate leader to:

• Execute the Foundation’s exceptional strategic plan;
• Leverage and catalyze the Foundation’s deep relationships across partner organizations;
• Support the Foundation’s critical fundraising strategy, tactics, and infrastructure;
• Solidify the Foundation’s role in the public health organizational ecosystem;
• Make a tremendous difference in the lives of people across BC.
