We place program directors, fundraisers, grant writers, administrators, educators, and mission-driven leadership at nonprofits, foundations, universities, and educational organizations.
Nonprofit and education hiring is different from private sector recruiting in fundamental ways. Candidates must be mission-driven — they need to believe in your cause, not just be qualified for the role. Compensation structures are often constrained, which means your recruiter needs to sell the mission, the impact, and the culture, not just the paycheck. That requires a recruiter who understands what motivates nonprofit professionals.
Careerscape's nonprofit and education practice recruits for 501(c)(3) organizations, foundations, associations, higher education institutions, K-12 school systems, and mission-driven social enterprises. Our recruiters understand grant-funded position requirements, nonprofit board governance, educational accreditation standards, and the compliance frameworks (990 reporting, donor restrictions, Title IX) that govern nonprofit and educational employers.
Whether you need a development director to grow your fundraising program, a program manager to launch a new initiative, a grant writer to secure foundation funding, or an executive director to lead your organization, we source professionals who combine relevant expertise with genuine passion for your mission.
Development officers, program leaders, educators, and executive directors. Screened for mission fit and operational skill.
