Executive Director

About us

Founded in 1930 by Louise Foucar Marshall, who was the University of Arizona’s first woman professor, the Marshall Foundation was the first private foundation in the state. Honoring the work and legacy of our founder, our mission today is to transform lives by fostering equitable access to education. The Foundation operates Main Gate Square, a successful retail shopping center with a diverse mix of tenants servicing the Tucson community, which enables us to fund grants supporting education and related wraparound support services for underserved populations in Pima County, Arizona.

Our new Executive Director (ED) will be a seasoned nonprofit or philanthropic executive with a talent for building and maintaining relationships, a business mindset, a strong work ethic, and a proven commitment to equity, especially in higher education. In addition to leading the Foundation’s staff, the ED will also oversee the third-property company that manages the Foundation’s real estate operations. Preferably, they will have connections in Southern Arizona and/or at the University of Arizona, and be knowledgeable regarding Arizona’s public education (K-16) and nonprofit/social service sector. They will represent the Foundation in the community, and will have the experience, talent, and passion to play a pivotal role in leading the Foundation in:

• Enhancing our community and university relationships.

• Innovating our philanthropic philosophy and practices.

• Implementing a comprehensive capacity building plan.
