COLLABORATIVE FOR A GENDER-JUST ECONOMY
DIRECTOR, POOLED FUND
OVERVIEW
The Collaborative for a Gender-Just Economy is a nascent philanthropic initiative aimed at increasing knowledge and resources to achieve a gender-just systemic change in the global economy. A growing number of funders increasingly recognize that achieving transformation in the economy requires specific attention to the ways that the existing core principles, paradigms, policies, and norms that govern economic policy priorities drive socio-economic, gender and racial inequalities, particularly in the Global South. In this collaborative’s understanding, a gender-just economy fuses economic justice principles with women’s human rights and feminist economics.
The Collaborative for a Gender-Just Economy aims to support better collaboration and mobilize greater resources to advance gender-just economies in the Global South. This donor collaborative has two connected components: a pooled fund of committed and values-aligned funders interested in funding jointly for greater impact and a learning community that promotes and facilitates dialogue about effective grantmaking approaches, strategies, practices, and tools to advance a gender-just economy.
These two components have separate organizational structures but will collaborate and coordinate closely with one another and with the funders supporting the collaborative (Hewlett Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Wellspring Philanthropic Fund). The learning community is hosted by the Trust, Accountability and Inclusive Collaborative (TAI) while the pooled fund is hosted by Global Fund for Women (GFW).
GFW envisions a world where movements for gender justice have transformed power and privilege for a few into equity and equality for all. We were founded over 30 years ago to fill a critical gap in funding for local women's rights organizations. Today, we are the leading funder of gender justice organizations, initiatives and movements worldwide.
THE POOLED FUND
The pooled fund is a vehicle for committed and values-aligned funders to fund collectively for greater impact. For those already funding work to advance a gender-just economy, the pooled fund provides the opportunity to support bold, larger-scale initiatives that do not clearly fall within individual donors’ strategies or are lost in the gaps between them. For those newer to the field, it offers a low-risk opportunity to learn directly through joint grantmaking with peers.
THE POSITION
The Pooled Fund Director will work with donors to the pooled fund and other stakeholders to set funding priorities together, aligned around their understanding of strategies for achieving a gender-just economy. We envision this including: strengthening the field of feminist economics; fostering the inclusion of gender equality in macroeconomic policy and economic governance; and supporting Global South-led initiatives for a gender-just economy. The Pooled Fund Director will facilitate the pooled fund’s decision-making and ensure that learning from the grantmaking is shared with pooled fund members and the collaborative’s learning community. They will coordinate closely with their counterpart at TAI to ensure linkages between the learning community and the pooled fund and to align work plans, learning objectives, and donor reporting.
This is a senior, full-time role for an initial two-year term. The successful candidate will work remotely. The work will require the ability to travel a few times a year for meetings with GFW, the learning community, and/or the collaborative’s funders.
