Senior Talent Acquisition Manager - Susan T. Buffett Foundation - Omaha

Who We Are

The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation (STBF) is a private grant-making foundation with a U.S. home office in Omaha, NE and a global home office in Kigali, Rwanda. Our staff is comprised of over 80 individuals across two continents. With annual spending in excess of $1 billion, we are one of the largest private foundations in the U.S.

The Foundation is unusual for donors of such size as we have only two main areas of grantmaking: (1) supporting efforts to reduce unintended pregnancy and ensure access to safe abortion for women in the U.S. and around the world and (2) to enable low-income students in Nebraska to attend and succeed in college. Unlike most foundations, STBF will not exist in perpetuity. After Mr. Buffett passes away (he is currently 94 years old), the Foundation’s grantmaking will grow substantially, then eventually sunset after approximately 10-15 years.
