Administrator
Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation
Easton, Maryland (remote)

The Moran Company is pleased to partner with the Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation to recruit the organization's Administrator.

Organizational Background

The Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation (MBTF) is a private family foundation established to carry on the philanthropic legacy of Marcia Brady Tucker. Rooted in a longstanding family commitment to charitable giving, the Foundation brings together multiple generations to support organizations aligned with its mission of giving back. The Foundation manages approximately $14 million in assets and awards roughly $500,000 in grants each year. Its Membership consists of approximately 40 adult family members spanning multiple generations, who elect the Board of Directors to govern the Foundation. The Foundation supports a diverse portfolio of charitable organizations through two annual board-approved grant cycles (with in-person Board meetings) and a robust member-match program that funds roughly 130–150 charitable gifts each year.

Position Summary

The Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation seeks an organized, personable Administrator with strong communication skills to provide the day-to-day administrative, financial, and logistical support that allows this volunteer-led family foundation to operate smoothly. This is a half-time salaried position and the Foundation's only employee.

Reporting to the President and working closely with the Directors, committees, and Members, the Administrator serves as the Foundation's central point of coordination. Responsibilities include maintaining records and financial documentation, supporting the grantmaking process, organizing the Foundation's twice-yearly meetings, and communicating regularly with members who represent a wide range of ages, locations, and backgrounds. The Administrator carries out the decisions of the Board and works closely with Members and outside professionals (CPA, investment advisors, legal counsel, and insurers) to ensure the Foundation operates in accordance with its Bylaws, its Statement of Purpose, and applicable law.

This is a hands-on administrative role rather than an executive leadership position. The role calls for someone who can work independently and proactively, exercise sound judgment and discretion with sensitive information, and bring steadiness and good humor. The workload follows a seasonal rhythm, with concentrated activity around the two annual meetings (April and October) and the December member-match and year-end period, and with a lighter pace in between.
