Board members and staff of philanthropic institutions regularly reach out to CMF to learn more about executive searches. The Ask CMF team has curated the following resources for those engaging with executive search firms or guiding an internally-driven executive search process for a grantmaking organization.

The “What Boards and Executives Need to Know” series of resources is designed to address questions of interest to board members and senior leaders of grantmaking organizations. These resources may be particularly useful for orientations, board trainings and general professional development and provide better understanding of key concepts that are necessary for the success of the governance and management of foundations in the field.
