The Pete M. Hanna Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”) was established during Mr. Hanna’s lifetime as a vehicle for his Christian faith giving and his commitment to education, children and social services, healthcare, and animal welfare. With his passing, and an anticipated addition of more than $150 million to the Foundation’s corpus from his estate, the Foundation is poised to become one of Alabama’s most significant philanthropic institutions—and is now seeking its first Executive Director to work alongside the Foundation’s board of directors to build upon Mr. Hanna’s legacy of philanthropy and to carry out his intentions that the foundation provide ongoing support to specified charities for decades to come.
The Board is clear-eyed about what this moment requires. The Foundation is not simply scaling up, but it is in many ways starting up. The person who steps into this role will have the rare and significant privilege of building something meaningful from the ground up, in the spirit of a man who spent his life doing exactly that.
