About Thousand Currents
A dismal 12 percent of philanthropic giving reaches local organizations globally. Less than 2 percent of philanthropic giving for climate reaches organizations led by women or Indigenous people. For far too long resource and investment decisions in philanthropy are made without the leadership of the people who contribute the least to – and are most impacted by – large-scale global problems like climate change and inequality. Thousand Currents exists to change these practices and ensure resources reach those who are most effective at solving the complex and systemic challenges the world faces -- frontline communities.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Vice President will oversee the philanthropic partnerships team composed of individual giving, institutional giving, and communications staff. Together, with leadership from the Vice President, the philanthropic partnerships team will successfully develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising and communications strategy that produces a sustained, informed, and energized donor base to support Thousand Currents’ work. The Vice President will help the organization articulate and implement a fundraising vision that communicates the critical importance of centering community priorities and the pivotal role Thousand Currents plays in advancing systemic changes in society.
