About Blended Impact Labs

Blended Impact Labs is a nonprofit community development organization focused on unlocking catalytic capital for place-based economic development, middle-income housing, and investment-ready innovation initiatives, beginning in Southern California. We have been established since 2021 and have since garnered the support of foundations such as the James Irvine Foundation, Amalgamated Bank Foundation, Parkview Legacy Foundation, along with in-kind support from the Center for Nonprofit Management. Blended Impact Labs is fiscally sponsored by Charitable Ventures.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a senior, fractional fundraising and business development professional with existing foundation relationships and a demonstrated track record securing PRI, recoverable, or investment-aligned philanthropic capital.

This role is not a traditional grant-writing position. It is a relationship-driven capital formation role focused on foundation investment teams, social investment practices, and catalytic capital providers.

This role is not a fit for candidates whose experience is primarily limited to traditional grant writing, grant administration, or public-sector funding without prior PRI, recoverable, or investment-aligned capital experience.

• RSF Social Finance
• Skoll Foundation
• Sorenson Foundation

• The Rockefeller Foundation
• W.K. Kellogg Foundation

​

Key Responsibilities

• Leverage existing foundation and catalytic capital relationships to source PRIs, recoverable grants, and MRIs
• Lead cultivation, structuring, and closing conversations with foundation program and investment teams
• Advance investment-oriented philanthropic capital aligned with real assets and venture and fund adjacent investment strategies
• Build and manage a qualified pipeline of foundation investment prospects
• Support capital-structuring narratives (PRI vs recoverable grant vs MRI)
• Coordinate with leadership, legal, and financial partners as needed to close investments
• Work closely with executive leadership on fundraising priorities and sequencing
• Translate programmatic initiatives into investment-ready narratives
• Maintain clear attribution and reporting for capital raised

​

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 10+ years of experience in philanthropic fundraising, impact investing, or catalytic capital formation
• Demonstrated experience securing PRIs, recoverable grants, or MRIs
• Existing relationships with foundations or intermediaries deploying investment-aligned capital
• Deep familiarity with place-based investment, real estate, and community development finance
• Experience working with CDCs, intermediaries, or hybrid nonprofit–fund structures
• Familiarity with California or Southern California philanthropic ecosystems
• Comfort operating independently in a senior, fractional role

​

Compensation Structure

• Monthly Retainer: $7,500 plus performance based tiered success fee

Additional information on key initiatives and fundraising resources available will be provided to selected candidates during the interview process.
