Keep a Child Alive Seeks a Seasoned, Entrepreneurial Executive to Lead the Organizational and Strategic Leadership of a High-Impact Global Organization at a Critical Inflection Point

Keep a Child Alive

Keep a Child Alive (KCA) is a global organization, fighting for children to become all they can, no matter where they start in life. Co-founded in 2003 by Alicia Keys, KCA exists to ensure that children facing the most challenging circumstances are healthy, safe, and able to access quality education.

Rooted in solidarity rather than charity, KCA works alongside frontline activists and communities to deliver sustainable, locally led solutions that create lasting change for vulnerable children.

KCA's work is delivered through three interconnected pillars. First, it funds and strengthens grassroots partner organizations across Africa, Asia, and beyond, building their capacity to protect and support children. Second, it drives bold, system-level "game changer" initiatives — including a neonatal care expansion across Africa and a comprehensive violence prevention program in South Africa. Third, through KCA South Africa, its registered NPO, it delivers digital education and child safety programs that reach children directly.

In early 2026, KCA opened its first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Ngudu Hospital in Tanzania — a significant milestone in addressing preventable newborn deaths in underserved communities. Today, KCA supports approximately 200,000 children each year through 15 partner organizations, with a clear ambition to expand its reach to 500,000 children and 30 partners by 2028.

Identify and pursue trust, foundation, and corporate funding opportunities aligned with KCA's mission and programs

Build and manage a pipeline of corporate sponsorships and strategic revenue partnerships

Work closely with the CEO and board to activate ambassador networks and leverage high-profile relationships for fundraising and visibility

US Compliance & Governance

Ensure KCA fulfills all legal, regulatory, and fiduciary requirements as a US-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

Oversee annual audits, state filings, tax compliance, and all external verifications

Maintain and strengthen board governance practices, including scheduling and preparing for a minimum of four board meetings per year

Ensure organizational policies, including safeguarding, HR, and financial controls meet best-practice standards

Program & Project Management

Oversee the management and delivery of KCA's complex, multi-country international programs and partner grants

Maintain strong relationships with KCA's partner organizations, ensuring timely grant disbursement, reporting, and organizational support

Lead strategic initiatives at the executive level, including the Tanzania NICU expansion and the South Africa violence prevention program

Travel internationally as required to support partner relationships, program launches, donor trips, and activation events

Experience & Expertise

15+ years senior leadership role within the US nonprofit, international development, or philanthropic sector, with prior experience as an Executive Director or equivalent title highly preferred

Demonstrated track record of building and professionalizing organizational systems and infrastructure at scale, ideally within a growing or entrepreneurial environment

Demonstrated track record of successful fundraising in the US philanthropic landscape, including cultivation and closing of major gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations

Fluency in US nonprofit compliance, governance, financial management, and operations

Experience managing complex, large-scale international programs across multiple geographies

Deep operational and execution mindset, a builder who leads through action and delivers results

Exceptional detail orientation with the ability to hold self and others to high standards of accountability

Strong understanding of international development and the US philanthropic space

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent KCA credibly with major donors, board members, government partners, and media

Comfort with ambiguity, rapid change, and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

Comfort working with an international team that operates in different time zones across the globe

Collaborative spirit and genuine commitment to KCA's values of solidarity, activism, and child rights
Willingness and ability to travel extensively, both domestically and internationally
