Conrad N. Hilton Foundation
Vice President, Talent and Culture
International hotelier Conrad N. Hilton established the grantmaking foundation that bears his name in 1944 to help people living in poverty and experiencing disadvantage worldwide. Today, the work continues, concentrating on efforts to ensure healthy early childhood development and sustainable livelihoods for youth, support young people transitioning out of foster care, improve access to housing and support services for people experiencing homelessness, identify solutions to safe water access, and lift the work of Catholic sisters. Additionally, following selection by an independent, international jury, the Foundation annually awards the $2.5 million Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize to an organization doing extraordinary work to reduce human suffering. The Foundation is one of the world’s largest, with approximately $8.5 billion in assets. It has awarded grants to date totaling more than $2.4 billion, $339 million worldwide in 2021. Please visit www.hiltonfoundation.org for more information. OUR GROWTH: Over the past five years, the Conrad Hilton Foundation has taken strategic steps to advance its mission to serve as a global leader in addressing human well-being. Over these years, the Foundation’s assets have doubled through a bequest by Conrad Hilton’s son, Barron Hilton. The Foundation have increased its staff from about 60 to nearly 160, seeking to maintain a vibrant and dynamic culture in alignment with the core values of Conrad and Barron Hilton – integrity, compassion, stewardship, humility, and thinking big. The Foundation has recruited a highly diverse Leadership Team, within which the Vice President, Talent and Culture will continue to serve in a critical role. The past five years have witnessed the development of “Strategy 2025,” focusing on seven Initiatives and setting ambitious-but-feasible goals within them. The Foundation has approximately quadrupled its grantmaking to about $430M in 2022. In addition, the Foundation awards the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize. At $2.5 million, it is the world’s largest annual humanitarian award presented to a nonprofit organization judged to have made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering. WHAT’S AHEAD: The Foundation has reached an exciting moment in its evolution as a global philanthropic leader. With Board vision and leadership and the extraordinary work of a dedicated team, the Foundation is moving from strategy development to global implementation, working with hundreds of grantee organizations, new and old, and making lasting positive differences in the lives of hundreds of thousands, and millions, of people living in disadvantage. The Foundation will continue to fund both service delivery (“real good for real people in real time”) and system-changing work. About half of the Foundation’s grants are made in the United States, and half overseas (focused on Africa and Latin America). The continuity of the Foundation’s core values serves to guide the overall enterprise. As the Foundation expands its programmatic reach, Foundation staff will be called on to serve an expanding strategic mission. As demonstrated over the past five years, optimization of a high-caliber and diverse staff will enable the Foundation to do highly impactful work. As the Foundation continues to evolve, it will be important to maintain a nimble, forward-looking organizational structure, honoring the entrepreneurial spirit of Conrad and Barron Hilton.
