Groundwork Buffalo will be a local affiliate of the Groundwork USA Network – independent, not-for-profit, environmental businesses called Groundwork Trusts working with communities in conjunction with the National Parks Service and the Environmental Protection Agency to improve their environment, economy and quality of life through local action by getting local people, business, government and other organizations involved in practical projects.
Groundwork Buffalo is seeking to hire the organization’s first Executive Director to establish baseline fund-raising, programming, board development, budgets, financial systems, and staffing.

It will be the Executive Director’s charge to attract or create the resources, programs and systems to implement that plan. The Director will be responsible for implementing the task agreement with the National Parks Service to launch Groundwork Buffalo and will work very closely with key stakeholders: the City of Buffalo, the local community, affiliated greening organizations, local nonprofits, funders, and financial institutions to ensure successful execution of the mission.
The Executive Director will be responsible for managing the operations of Groundwork Buffalo, including managing an office, fundraising and development, overseeing financial and program management, making regular progress reports and complying with grant reporting requirements, hiring and managing staff, and setting the strategic direction of the organization.

Groundwork organizations’ purpose is to build sustainable communities through joint environmental action thereby empowering people, creating better places, and helping to bring about prosperity. The Groundwork USA network is built on partnership and linked together by the Groundwork USA national office, with support from the Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Program and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program. Projects and activities are organized into six program areas as part of our integrated approach to community rejuvenation: land, brownfields, education, business, youth, and communities.
As both convener and implementer, a Groundwork Buffalo (GWB), with representation from existing greening and environmental organizations, has the prospect of adding much value to the process of reclaiming underutilized and neglected open space throughout the city. The reality of resource limitations, however, should be neither overlooked nor understated. It will be crucial for GWB, and its partner agencies to tailor their efforts to communities where their work can have a substantial and sustainable impact. By leveraging and connecting existing assets, greening efforts can serve as more than active and passive recreation spaces, but can serve as catalysts for community involvement and anchors for future investment.
