Executive Director: Friends of Children’s Cove

Friends of Children’s Cove, Inc. is seeking an Executive Director.

Friends of Children’s Cove, Inc. (FoCC) is a community-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Children’s Cove: The Cape & Islands Child Advocacy Center. Our mission is to provide critical resources for safety, healing, and support to children and families impacted by sexual abuse and exploitation, filling vital gaps in county, state, and federal funding.

Currently volunteer-run, FoCC is at a pivotal inflection point. We are professionalizing our operations to expand our fundraising impact and enhance our support for the child victims and non-offending families served by Children’s Cove.

The Board of Trustees seeks a visionary, high-energy, and innovative Executive Director (E.D.) to serve as the organization’s first full-time professional leader. This is a “foundational” role—an opportunity to build a nonprofit culture from the ground up, establish formal governance, and lead a potential Capital Campaign to fund a new, state-of-the-art facility for Children’s Cove.

This opportunity is a fully remote position that requires frequent in-person participation in events and meetings across Cape Cod and the Islands.

The ideal candidate will be a “door-opener” who can foster deep community connections and inspire philanthropic investment in a legacy project that will serve the Cape and Islands for decades to come.

FoCC offers a competitive compensation package designed to reward growth and long-term commitment.

• Annual Base Salary: $90,000
• Healthcare Stipend: $5,000 annually
• Performance Bonus: $5,000 per year (first two years) based on achievement of specific written annual goals established at the beginning of each year by the Board of Trustees in consultation with the Executive Director.
• Retention Bonus: $5,000 after the completion of two years of continuous, achievement-oriented service.
• Time Off: Three (3) weeks’ vacation; 12 sick days; 11 paid holidays.

FoCC has retained Harrington Management International (HMI) to facilitate this search. To apply, please submit a resume and a compelling cover letter outlining your fit for this mission to: [email protected] with the Subject Line: Executive Director
