Position Overview

Funders for Reproductive Equity (FRE) strengthens the impact and effectiveness of philanthropy supporting reproductive health, rights and justice in the United States and around the globe.  At a pivotal moment when reproductive rights are being challenged at an unprecedented rate both domestically and globally, and the field of philanthropy evolves strategically to view reproductive rights and justice within a broader intersectional equity lens, FRE seeks an experienced and visionary Executive Director who will usher in an exciting new era of leadership.
