Executive Director Position Announcement

The Opportunity : The Midas Collaborative is seeking a mission-driven professional to serve as our Executive Director. The Executive Director will work closely with a highly-engaged Board of Directors and staff to evolve and expand our ability to reduce the wealth gap through asset-building programs, stakeholder education and issue advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic leader to inspire systemic change and fortify a robust community of organizations and individuals committed to economic empowerment and financial security, especially for those who identify as BIPOC. The Executive Director will be the face of Midas with nonprofit, business, government, research and philanthropic stakeholders, working with external and internal parties in a diplomatic fashion that promotes inclusion, equity and meaningful results.

About The Midas Collaborative : Midas envisions a society where financial stability is attainable for all, where individuals can confidently plan for their future, and supportive policies foster an environment of prosperity and inclusivity. Since 1999, The Midas Collaborative has collaborated with stakeholders throughout Massachusetts to advance the financial security of low- and moderate-income residents. Midas’ signature Matched Savings Program has empowered 7,000 individuals to leverage $7 million in personal savings and matched savings grants into $340 million of economic stimulus activity, facilitating pathways to education, homeownership, and small business development. As part of the United Way of Mass. Bay’s New Way Forward Partnership, Midas co-convenes a coalition of advocates, practitioners and others focused on passing Matched Savings legislation in MA. We are a “small but mighty” nonprofit, committed to systems change to ensure successful asset-building and intergenerational wealth solutions for BIPOC community members and others who have historically been marginalized. In recognition of our impact and leadership, Midas was awarded the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network’s 2023 Award for Outstanding Advocacy. www.midascollab.org
