Program Associate, Haas Leadership Initiatives

The Organization

The Haas Leadership Initiatives (HLI), a project of the Tides Center, was founded in 2005 by the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund (the Fund) to make it possible for the Fund’s grantee partners to access strategic leadership and organizational development resources. The HLI program understands that it takes skilled leaders to change policies and systems and to do the hard work of advancing rights and creating opportunities for all people. And that it takes strong, fully funded organizations to keep at it and to work effectively in social movements. Across the country, nonprofit organizations and public agencies are tackling tremendous challenges with limited support. Investing in leadership development makes a big difference; stronger leaders catalyze lasting and transformational change and get better results. The HLI’s leadership investment programs are a key strategy for ensuring the success of individual organizations and of the networks and movements of which they are a part.

Beyond investing in the capacity and leadership of the Fund’s grantee partners through its centerpiece program The Flexible Leadership Awards, the HLI focuses on building the field in two ways: 1) improving leadership and consulting practice by supporting innovative approaches to raising resources, cultivating talent, and embracing racial equity; and 2) encouraging foundations to invest more – and more effectively – in leadership.

HLI is home to the Haas, Jr. Fund’s Flexible Leadership Awards Program, the LeaderPower Collaborative (the expansion of the FLA to other funders), and the ReSet Fundraising Initiative.  In 2019, more than eighty grantee partners — non-profit organizations across the state and the country — were supported by the Haas Leadership Initiatives capacity building programs. The Irvine Foundation’s Fair Work Initiative is HLI’s newest foundation partner, coming on-line in June 2020.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Program Associate plays an integral role in supporting three HLI Program Directors and affiliated organizational development practitioners in their work on behalf of the Haas Leadership Initiatives. The position reports to the HLI Program and Finance Manager and is nested within a highly collaborative and matrixed team. The Haas Leadership Initiatives is a project of the Tides Center and currently located in the offices of the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund in San Francisco.

The Program Associate is an at-will, exempt position. The salary for this position is $75,000 per year with a very competitive benefits package (medical, dental, 403b).

The Haas Leadership Initiatives hopes to identify a successful candidate by the end of May, with a start date ideally, of no later than July 1st.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As noted above, this position interfaces with multiple stakeholders, including the HLI team, funders, the project’s fiscal sponsor (the Tides Center), consultant practitioners, and grantee partners, and therefore requires excellent interpersonal and customer service skills.

Executive Director or Co-Executive Directors, Grankmakers for Girls of Color

The Organization

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Grantmakers for Girls of Color (G4GC) seeks passionate and visionary leadership from an Executive Director/Co-Executive Director Team capable of taking the helm to launch the initiative as a dynamic independent funder activist organization fiscally-sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. This is an exciting opportunity to be G4GC’s first dedicated staff with the freedom to create and bring to life a blueprint for the organization’s future identity, infrastructure and strategy.   We are seeking confident and creative leader(s) with experience building organizations, creating systems and coalescing stakeholders for action and with enthusiasm for protecting and advancing the voices and lives of girls of color. G4GC’s leadership will convene, inspire and guide a collective of funders committed to building the individual and collective power of girls of color through active collaboration of thought leaders, donors, and girls to make deep investments in the movement. All of this work is done with a philosophy grounded in the voice and unique needs of girls of color and guided by the movements that center them.   In collaboration with an experienced fiscal sponsor and an advisory committee, the Executive Director/CoExecutive Director(s) will help implement the organization’s strategic mission and vision including developing imaginative and effective programming, strategic communications, and in the near future, an equitable and thoughtful participatory grantmaking program to increase resources for girls of color.

ABOUT GRANTMAKERS FOR GIRLS OF COLOR

An initial project of the NoVo Foundation, Foundation for a Just Society, Ms. Foundation for Women, The New York Women’s Foundation, Communities for Just Schools Fund and other partners, G4GC launched as an online platform in 2015. G4GC has quickly become a growing community of funders who are actively working on or are interested in efforts that address the structural inequities facing girls of color. G4GC brings together the latest research, data, news, and insights to promote collective strategizing and partnership across philanthropy; hosts an annual funder convening; connects funders to movements through webinars focused on ongoing timely issues facing girls of color; and leads research to help philanthropy better respond to the needs of girls of color. With growing momentum and potential in philanthropy it is time for G4GC to become an independent organization which will intentionally connect, engage and work to positively advance girls of color who live at the intersections of sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression which prevent their fullest potential.

G4GC envisions a world in which all girls are healthy, safe and thriving. Where each person is fully empowered to pursue their dreams and shape their desired reality on their terms, free from all structural barriers created by racism, sexism and ageism and other forms of discrimination. We recognize that girls of color hold particular vulnerabilities because of their age; and yet they also hold immense power to drive transformation because they sit at these intersections. At the same time, girls of color are often invisible across funding priorities, efforts to address policy change, and in systems and programming. We believe that investing in building the power of girls and responding to their vulnerabilities is critical to creating meaningful change with and for them, their communities, and this country.

• When we use the term “of color,” we recognize that there is not a consistent definition across all communities. Our practice is to trust partners leading the work to identify language that is honoring and inclusive. Through this initiative we will support organizations, activists, and collectives who selfidentify as “of color” and face racism, sexism, and other intersectional structural barriers.

• We focus on cis and trans adolescent girls of color as well as those who do not identify as female but experience gender-based structural harm. We recognize that the needs of trans girls are both similar and unique, and we will work to identify opportunities and support movements that center their specific power and vulnerability.

• We will prioritize support for partners that reach and center girls who are the hardest to reach, who are too often made to be invisible, marginalized, and targeted.

Position Overview

ABOUT THE FLEXIBLE LEADERSHIP MODEL

We are open to leadership in the form of an Executive Director or Co-Executive Directors. If you apply as an individual leader, please articulate how your experience and skillsets will allow you to meet all management responsibilities from programs to fiscal management to systems development. If you apply as a team, please articulate your ideas for the division of leadership and how final decisions will be seamlessly and efficiently achieved.

ABOUT THE DESIRED LEADERSHIP PROFILE

Core Characteristics and Skills

• Passion for the Mission A champion with a true passion for improving the lives of girls of color. They will exhibit a wideranging curiosity and interest in the needs of our diverse community and will have the skills and enthusiasm to remain at the forefront of the sector, developing new and unique opportunities to serve the mission.

While the Executive Director/Co-Executive Directors will have the support and benefit of a fiscal sponsor, it is expected that they will oversee and monitor all expenditures, maintaining a full understanding of all the organization’s financial operations, and ensuring the organization remains above reproach with respect to honoring the stewardship of publicly donated funds. This includes identifying in a timely manner any overage, short-falls, or required budgetary course-corrections, if and when needed.

Communications. The organization seeks to completely shift the societal narrative around girls of color to elevate their voice, position and power while naming the systematic barriers they face.

S/he/they will help to shape a future-facing vision for the organization that aligns with HRFN’s mission and theory of change, staff leadership and capacity, and the collective needs of its members. This exciting opportunity calls for an inspirational thought leader and manager with an exceptional combination of qualities, skills, and experiences, including: a sophisticated understanding of human rights movements and international philanthropy; expertise and experience in creating and implementing innovative strategies, programs, and organizational infrastructure; proven partnership building skills and creative thinking around how to tap into new opportunities; a track record of effective vision-setting and investment-building among diverse stakeholders; and a demonstrated commitment to strengthening a culture of collaboration, equity, and inclusion.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Human Rights Funders Network (HRFN) is a global network of 1,800 human rights grantmakers and philanthropists in over 70 countries working collaboratively to advance human rights through effective philanthropy. Founded in 1994 by a small group of human rights grantmakers who wanted to build a platform from which to share insights, strategies, and learnings, HRFN has since grown into a vibrant global community of funders who learn from each other, grapple with challenges, and leverage resources for human rights.  HRFN takes great pride in being a peer-led network for human rights grantmakers by human rights grantmakers.

HRFN’s membership has grown significantly in recent years, particularly among funders operating in the Global South and East. With 95 dues-paying member institutions, and more than 350 additional grantmaking institutions engaging in its activities and opportunities, HRFN makes it possible for funders from across the globe to gain full access to tools, resources, conferences, and a network of potential partners. Through HRFN, members gain the opportunity to engage with human rights activists, movements, and funders, and explore new approaches to sustain a global human rights movement under threat.

Today, HRFN’s activities encompass a range of programmatic offerings, including an annual conference that creates a space for member organizations to collaborate, engage, and learn from one another. Online webinars offer an opportunity to examine emerging issues and trends, and strategize around them. Working groups centered around specific issues and regions allow members to engage in strategic problem-solving and collective advocacy. In addition, HRFN provides access to information and research tools which funders can use to inform and guide their grantmaking around the world. Current initiatives also include the Principles Project, a collaboration with members to identify and articulate the human rights principles which should guide human rights grantmaking.

All of HRFN’s activities lead toward the ultimate goal of ensuring that philanthropy is effectively resourcing human rights work and movements.

HRFN currently operates under a fiscal sponsorship agreement with Proteus Fund, which provides support for financial systems, human resources, and operational tasks. A New York-based staff of four works closely with the Steering Committee – volunteers from HRFN’s membership who assist with oversight, guidance, and direction – to lead and execute the programmatic work and ensure the smooth functioning of the organization. In addition, member-led advisory committees design gatherings, lead working groups, and guide research initiatives.
