Ms. Foundation for Women funds intersectional, feminist, movement building and organizing work led by and for women, girls, and nonbinary people of color. We continually strive to improve our work through collaborative learning and reflection. Ms. Foundation is strongly grantee-centered and relationship-driven and is interested in finding ways to further adopt trust-based and care-based philanthropic practices. To this end, our Development Department seeks to not only secure funding for Ms. Foundation, we also hope to increase total funding to the field and better organize our donors to adopt and support trust and care-based philanthropy practices.

We’re a 53-year old organization that successfully completed a $106 million 50th Anniversary campaign and raises between $6M – $24M annually. We have an exciting combination of existing donor relationships and an opportunity to build new structures.

Please submit your resume, an example of a donor-facing material you created, a list of references, and your responses to the following prompts either as a cover letter or a short reply in lieu of a cover letter (one to two paragraphs per question) to Sandra Isiofiah at [e-mail].
