Let’s work together to ensure that young people in New York City, especially those growing up in vulnerable circumstances, become voracious readers who also have the skills, relationships, nurturing environments, and supports to become emotionally thriving adults.
In 1986, The Carmel Hill Fund (CHF) was established and funded by William “Bill” Ruane, a respected investment professional, as a way to address educational inequities and to help young people receive the mental health support they deserve. As we embark on our next chapter as a grantmaker, we will build on our founder and benefactor’s legacy to deepen our impact in New York City through targeted grants that will help achieve our mission.
The Grants Manager will be a key member of the CHF team and will have the opportunity to build an innovative, best-in-class grants management function from the ground up. You will work to set, articulate, and implement a compelling grants management strategy in support of New York City youth.

LinkWe take an intentional approach to creating a work environment and systems that support all our employees. This includes:
Our compensation philosophy is based on our commitment to both equity and industry-leading excellence. Our approach is driven by factors like qualifications, skills, competencies, and experience to ensure we are attracting and retaining team members who are not only passionate about our mission, but also driven to grow and evolve as professionals.
The Carmel Hill Fund offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, 401(k) with employer contributions, paid time off and additional optional pre-tax benefits.
On average, our team members have the opportunity to work remotely 3 days per week, and are required to work from the midtown NYC office 2 days per week. For some positions, we require regular in-person touch points with external partners, site visits to grantee programs, and engagement in other community events.
We are focused on nurturing our employees’ talents and intentionally look to provide opportunities ranging from conferences and workshops to training courses and mentorship programs to enhance the Carmel Hill Fund experience as well as development of individual goals and interests.
At our current inflection point, CHF is at the beginning of our organizational equity journey, though our executive leaders bring their own experiences with and commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our promise is to champion diversity, build an inclusive culture, and actively participate in the creation of a more equitable world. We can't promise we'll always get it right, but we'll always put our people and our community first, striving for a sense of belonging for all.
