CEO Search Process is Open

MCF is undertaking a search for a new President & CEO to replace Bob Sorge, who is retiring in 2026. The nationwide search is being performed by Kittleman & Associates based in Chicago, IL.

If you are an experienced leader whose approach is strongly rooted in values, this is an opportunity to lead and grow a respected community foundation with deep credibility and strong momentum.

MCF’s Culture

MCF’s dynamic team shares a commitment to our mission. We come from different backgrounds and bring different lived experiences to the table. Some people have worked at MCF for 15+ years while others are new to the team. We encourage a full range of diversity and talent. Everyone’s voice is valued.

Our office is in beautiful downtown Madison, Wisconsin, conveniently located off the state’s Capitol Square and is surrounded by restaurants, shops and businesses of all kinds. Whether it is just the daily hustle and bustle, the free Lunchtime Live music series, Art Fair on the Square, or the largest producers-only Farmers’ Market in the country, there is always something going on downtown. When you are part of the MCF team, you are in the middle of what makes Madison … Madison.
