Organization: Margulf Foundation Reports to : Liz Aybar Conti, Executive Director Location: Denver, CO Start Date: Flexible, as early as March 2021 Current Staff: 3 full time staff (expanding to 5 full time staff in 2021) About the Margulf Foundation The Margulf Foundation has been dedicated to supporting innovative approaches to education in Colorado and beyond since 1977.

Kindred envisions a world where children and families thrive – without difference by...
