Work/Life Balance.Every member of the Foundation team is committed not just to fulfilling their job duties and responsibilities, but also to making a difference in all they do. The sense of community that was fostered by Frank Lloyd Wright as his Fellows worked and lived alongside each other didn’t just further the work – it created a strong sense of community. Today, that spirit of community continues by employees who truly care about each other and the wellbeing of all with whom they come in contact. Through formal benefit programs like paid time off, paid sick time, and EAP services, as well as through engagement activities like all-staff celebrations and gatherings, we support each other in work and life. | Meaningful Work and Competitive PayThe Foundation makes every effort to provide a workplace that offers challenging opportunities and competitive pay. We recognize that all applicants have choices in where they choose to work, so we are committed to staying informed about competitive practices of the local market that may include both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. We also factor in how we reward great performance to meet the culture and goals of the organization. | Our shared Mission, Vision, and ValuesThe Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is firmly grounded in Frank Lloyd Wright’s legacy: his principles, buildings, designs, and vision for the world. We are also deeply committed to sharing his work and ideas as a way to impact the world and make life better and richer today and into the future. The difference we make for people and communities is at the forefront of what we do, and our Vision & Mission Statements highlight our impact supported every day by the work of our dedicated and talented team. |
Diversity & Inclusion.Democracy is a very high thing. The faith in the individual is a great challenge and Americais that challenge to the world. -Frank Lloyd Wright, 1951 Frank Lloyd Wright’s work is grounded in core American values of liberty, democracy, and community. These values are represented not only in his built and written works, but also in his practice and, later, his Fellowship. Wright’s first employee, Marion Mahony, was one of the first women licensed to practice architecture in America; and women were welcomed into the Fellowship, as were individuals from many nations, faiths, and cultures. These values drive us today.
