Job Description

The Department 

Created in 1995 by the agency’s managing partners, CAA’s philanthropic arm has become an integral part of its culture. The CAA Foundation harnesses the power and reach of the entertainment industry to create positive social change through forging strategic partnerships, encouraging volunteerism, granting financial contributions, stimulating public awareness, and providing in-kind donations. The Foundation has become a leader in the entertainment community on education, the environment, health, and social issues. The agency's Foundation serves two main functions: 

• To galvanize our employees to make a difference.  The Foundation provides opportunities for employees – whether agents or assistants – to get involved, and it serves as a resource if they look to find their own causes and volunteer activities for participation.  The focus is primarily on serving our communities through education and the arts. 
• To help clients do the same.  The Foundation assists our clients across the entertainment, sports and corporate landscapes with their philanthropic initiatives, whether starting their own programs or partnering with an existing organization or cause.
