Roxbury Stone Chief Executive Officer

Founded in 1974, Stone House is a comprehensive, trauma-informed nonprofit organization dedicated to caring for and protecting adult and child survivors of domestic abuse, helping them rebuild safe, secure, and independent lives of purpose and self‑fulfillment. Rooted in the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, and Hyde Park, Stone House combines the security of a safe environment with a full continuum of residential and community‑based programs that support trauma recovery, personal growth, and essential life‑skill development.

Stone House offers emergency shelter, housing stabilization, and community support services. The organization provides comprehensive case management across all programs, including crisis intervention, benefits and legal assistance, employment and education guidance, and advocacy. Stone House is a proud member of Jane Doe Inc., the Massachusetts Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence.

Over the past several years, Stone House has undergone significant growth. The 2026 budget is $4.5M. A new $27M facility at One Westminster Avenue in Egleston Square opened in 2021. We are now advancing plans for a second building at 7‑9 Westminster Terrace. This addition will merge the current emergency shelter site with the rest of the campus. As a multifaceted organization managing a complex mix of government contracts, LIHTC and NMTC financing structures, and an affiliated Early Learning Center, Stone House is at an important inflection point in its evolution.

Stone House seeks a dynamic, mission-driven, and externally oriented Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the organization into its next chapter of growth and impact. This is a pivotal moment: the organization has meaningfully expanded its physical footprint and service capacity and is now poised to strengthen its fundraising infrastructure, deepen community partnerships, and build the financial resilience to sustain and grow its mission in a complex and evolving funding environment.

The CEO will step into an organization with strong foundations: an experienced and committed senior leadership team and an engaged board that is actively growing its fundraising culture. The incoming CEO will build on this momentum, elevating Stone House's visibility, bringing new relationships and resources to the organization, and providing the strategic leadership to carry the mission forward with clarity and confidence.

Stone House has meaningful philanthropic momentum to build on: a Chief Development Officer (CDO) with deep expertise and strong community ties, a board that recently achieved 100% giving participation and completed Fundraising 101 training, and an engaged base of individual donors, foundation partners, and corporate sponsors. The incoming CEO will bring the external relationships and ambassadorial presence to take this foundation to the next level.

The CEO will provide visible, relationship-driven leadership that elevates Stone House's brand, secures philanthropic investment, and deepens its presence among Boston's corporate, civic, and governmental communities while defining and clarifying the vital role the organization plays in the communities we serve.
