The Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity (CGRE) is a dynamic learning community of donors and foundations united in the advancement of gender, reproductive, and racial equity. CGRE provides funding to unite advocates across issue silos; defend gender, reproductive, and racial equity; and work towards a future where every person has the resources and autonomy to thrive. CGRE’s Advisory Committee of funders learn together with field experts, amplifying the impact of their giving, and accelerating change in five-year increments. CGRE’s approach focuses on four core areas of work: State Power-Building, Judicial Strategy, The Alliance Table, and Response to Opportunity. Since launching five years ago, CGRE has deployed over $200 million in funding to grantee partners, half of which are led by women of color.
The Gender Equity Action Fund (GEAF) is an independent, aligned 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to advancing gender, reproductive, and racial equity through state-centered investments that build people power to drive transformative policy. GEAF’s approach centers investing in power-building programs at the state level, particularly those representing Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities working on voter mobilization and policy change, and on opportunities to establish a nonpartisan judiciary that supports gender, reproductive, and racial equity. GEAF is guided by a committed community of engaged donors and leading field experts who serve on its Advisory Board, bringing together the expertise and passion needed to shape its impactful initiatives.
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Chief Philanthropy Officer will support both CGRE and GEAF (both fully virtual organizations). Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, the 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor for CGRE, is the hiring entity.
The Chief Philanthropy Officer (CPO) will be joining CGRE and GEAF at a pivotal moment for protecting and advancing gender, reproductive, and racial equity in the United States. They will play a critical role in advancing CGRE and GEAF’s next five-year strategy, working to raise new funds and expand the circle of funders participating in the Collaboratives. The role is instrumental in stewarding those already committed to this work and engaging new donors new to these issues to learn more about the field.
