Lead Maynard House Into Its Next Chapter

Maynard House is seeking a compassionate, strategic, and community-minded Executive Director to lead our organization into its next chapter.

For more than 45 years, Maynard House has provided a welcoming, affordable home away from home for patients and families traveling to the Upper Valley for medical care. What began as the Upper Valley Hostel in 1978 has grown into a beloved community resource serving thousands of guests over the years. Today, our eight-room guesthouse in Hanover offers patients, caregivers, and families a comfortable place to stay close to the care they need.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to ease the financial and emotional burden of traveling for medical care by providing affordable, supportive lodging when families need it most.

An Opportunity to Make a Meaningful Difference

Maynard House is at an exciting point in its history. We have a strong foundation, a dedicated Board and staff, committed volunteers, generous donors, and deep connections throughout the Upper Valley. We also have an opportunity to strengthen our organization, expand our reach, and build a more sustainable future.

Maynard House is seeking an Executive Director who is energized by possibility and motivated by meaningful impact. This is an opportunity to lead a deeply mission-driven organization where relationships matter, leadership is visible, and your work directly affects families navigating difficult medical journeys.

Our next Executive Director will be a trusted ambassador for Maynard House and a key leader in shaping its future. A major opportunity will be to strengthen and expand our fundraising program. More than 70% of our operating support comes from individuals, corporations, foundations, and community partners, creating significant potential for a relationship-focused leader to grow support and build long-term financial sustainability.

We are seeking a leader who can:

  • Build meaningful relationships with donors, foundations, healthcare partners, volunteers, and community members

  • Develop and implement a thoughtful fundraising and development strategy

  • Identify opportunities to increase contributed revenue and diversify funding

  • Serve as a compelling ambassador for the Maynard House mission

  • Work collaboratively with the Board to establish priorities and achieve strategic goals

  • Support and inspire a small, dedicated staff and volunteer community

  • Oversee the organization's day-to-day operations while keeping an eye on long-term growth and sustainability

  • Bring creativity, energy, compassion, and sound nonprofit leadership to the organization

 

What You’ll Have the Opportunity to Do

  • Build relationships that matter with donors, foundations, healthcare partners, volunteers, and community leaders

  • Grow our fundraising capacity through thoughtful development strategies, donor cultivation, and new sources of contributed revenue

  • Champion the mission and tell the Maynard House story in ways that inspire people to get involved and invest

  • Shape the organization’s future in partnership with the Board, identifying opportunities for growth, sustainability, and greater impact

  • Lead a dedicated team and volunteer community, creating an environment where people feel valued and connected to the mission

  • Oversee a strong day-to-day operation while keeping an eye on the bigger picture

  • Bring your own ideas and energy to a small organization with tremendous potential

 

Why Maynard House?

 

At Maynard House, you won't be one person among hundreds of employees. You will know our guests. You will work directly with donors and volunteers. You will collaborate closely with the Board. And you will see firsthand the difference your leadership makes.

 

This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a job managing an established organization. It is a chance to help shape what comes next.

Maynard House has a strong mission, a committed community, and an important role in supporting patients and families who travel to the Upper Valley for medical care. We are looking for a compassionate, relationship-oriented leader who can build on that foundation, strengthen our resources, and help Maynard House reach its next level.

 

If you are a connector, a thoughtful fundraiser, an inspiring leader, and someone who sees opportunity in a small organization, we would love to hear from you.
