Job description

The Funders’ Collaborative on Youth Organizing is a philanthropic intermediary that brings funders and youth organizers together to ensure that young people have the resources, capacities, and infrastructure they need to fight for a more just and democratic society. FCYO believes that to move toward justice, BlPOC youth, working class young people, young women, and queer and trans youth have a critical role to play in transforming economic and social conditions. To build this kind of power, youth organizing must build bases at significant scale, develop broad strategic alliances, and elevate public narratives that promote our vision of social justice and true democracy. Our work is grounded in our close relationships with the youth organizing field and a commitment to meaningful partnerships between funders and youth organizers.

This includes supporting a learning community for FCYO funder members, organizing briefings for non-member funders, building FCYO’s individual donor program, and supporting our funder advisory services. The ideal candidate brings a strong commitment to social justice, knowledge of youth organizing, experience with philanthropy, individual donor fundraising experience, strong facilitation and communication skills, and the ability to thrive and succeed in a dynamic, fluid workplace environment.
