The Philanthropic

The Philanthropic Staffing Group (TPSG) is an executive search and staffing firm exclusively dedicated to the nonprofit sector, headquartered in New York and serving mission-driven organisations across the United States. Established in 2005, TPSG brings two decades of specialised experience in identifying leaders and professionals genuinely committed to advancing social causes. The firm operates on the principle that nonprofits deserve recruitment partners who speak their language and understand the distinct operational challenges of charitable work.

TPSG offers three primary service lines: Nonprofit Executive Search for C-suite and leadership vacancies; Direct Hire placement for development, programme, finance, and HR roles; and Nonprofit Temp Staffing for interim coverage and grant-funded positions. Their expertise spans multiple cause areas including arts and culture, education, health and human services, advocacy, environmental justice, community development, and philanthropy. The firm has placed over 500 candidates across more than 50 cause areas and works exclusively with nonprofit clients, never taking commercial assignments.

What distinguishes TPSG is their deep understanding of nonprofit dynamics, from board governance and restricted budgets to mission tension and candidate fit. Their curated candidate networks, built through two decades in the sector, allow them to reach passive candidates not visible on job boards, and their team remains engaged post-placement to ensure long-term hire success.
