BUILDING A CULTURE THAT REFLECTS OUR VALUES
Why work at Inatai?
At Inatai Foundation, we’re driven by our mission and values and the communities we serve. We understand that we cannot serve in our best roles as a foundation without creating a culture that supports our team’s growth and learning. Inatai provides various opportunities for our team to connect, envision, and experience joy through our all-team retreats, lunch-and-learn sessions, and professional development programs.

Building a diverse and inclusive team
Cultivating a team that embodies the diverse experiences of our communities is essential to our values and our work. We strongly and sincerely encourage applications from people of color; immigrant, bilingual, and multicultural individuals; d/Deaf people and people with disabilities; members of the LGBTQIA+ community and gender non-conforming people; and people with other diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. As a statewide organization, we also believe in geographic equity and have staff located throughout all areas of the state.
Invested in people’s growth and success
As a foundation employee, in addition to advancing the aspirations of communities across the state, you will receive an equitable and competitive salary and an excellent benefits package that includes fully paid medical/dental/vision coverage for employees and dependent children (and partial coverage for partners and spouses), a 10-percent retirement contribution, generous and flexible paid time off, paid family and medical leave, a transit pass (where available), and support for your ongoing professional development.

Request for proposals
RFP Consultant
Inatai Foundation is requesting qualifications from organizations (nonprofit, private, or public corporations) to support the development of maps as a reference and learning tool for Inatai Foundation staff. Specifically, we seek a tribally-led consultant to produce a set of sociopolitical maps that outline Tribal reservation and traditional homeland areas and include key landmarks including selected waterways and mountain ranges. This project is an extension of work led by an internal team of Tribally affiliated staff that will continue to oversee the development of maps and the alignment with the project with a set of internal policies regarding land recognition payments, land acknowledgement practices, and team learning.
We are most interested in partnering with organizations who share our values and our commitment to equity and racial justice. We invite those who are interested in one or more of these areas of work to review this document and submit your qualifications.
Deadline for submissions: Open until filled
