• Strengthen Congress as an institution. Congress must be able to legislate solutions that address national problems, exercise its constitutional powers of the purse and oversight, and equip itself with the staffing and expertise required for these tasks.
• Improve campaigns and elections. With different incentives, our elected representatives can become more responsive to the full range of opinion and interests in their constituencies and be less beholden to polarized agendas and special interests.
• Combat digital disinformation. Any progress made in repairing politics will ultimately be pointless if citizens are misled or misinformed about what is happening and how they should respond to it.
• Support the democracy field. We fund research, data, media, and collaborations to inform and improve the work of philanthropists, scholars, advocates, journalists, political reformers, and elected officials.

The Madison Initiative is nonpartisan and supports organizations across the ideological spectrum, including academic researchers, advocacy groups, think tanks, media platforms, infrastructure providers, and civic leadership organizations who share our goals and seek to uphold the democracy that Americans have inherited and – if they are diligent and fortunate – will pass on to future generations.[1]

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.

The Organization

The Skoll Foundation was created by Jeff Skoll in 1999 to pursue his vision of a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. The mission of the Skoll Foundation is to drive large-scale change by investing in, connecting, and celebrating social entrepreneurs and the innovators who help them solve the world’s most pressing problems. Social entrepreneurs are society’s change agents – creators of innovations that disrupt the status quo and transform our world for the better. By identifying the people and programs already enacting positive change throughout the world, the Foundation empowers them to extend their reach, deepen their impact, and fundamentally improve society.

The Skoll Foundation has invested approximately $470 million worldwide, including the Skoll Award to 128 social entrepreneurs from 106 organizations on five continents.

Position Overview

The Skoll Foundation seeks to add to its team of Principals a seasoned, strategic global business professional who has a deep desire to support entrepreneurial solutions to the world’s most intractable problems. Reporting to the Senior Director of Social Entrepreneurship, Principals work in close collaboration with peers across Skoll programs, practice centers, and the executive team to advance knowledge and evidence of scaling impact.

The ideal candidate is, above all, a listener and learner. The Principal must be a quick study to prepare insightful questions to learn more about an entrepreneur’s innovations or a partner organization’s goals. The role requires an insatiable curiosity, desire to explore “what if?” questions, ability to connect the dots across sectors and geographies, and embrace of ambiguity.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a minimum of 10 years of demonstrated success in developing, accelerating, measuring, and influencing growth of entrepreneurial organizations. Key competencies include keen investigative skills and relentless attention to detail in the evaluation of investments, business models, financials, and data, while keeping a thoughtful, empathetic field view.

Significant experience living and/or working outside of one’s culture of origin and in proximity to the world’s most pressing problems is essential.

The Organization

Overview 

The Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation is seeking an Associate Network Officer to manage existing relationships and identify new ones in specific parts of the South and grow into administering related grants portfolios.

This is an excellent opportunity to be part of the change the region so urgently needs right now. America is in a pivotal moment, and the South has always played an outsized role in the direction the country takes, for better or for worse. Structural racism and other forms of discrimination are major barriers to an equitable, inclusive and more democratic region. Political control remains too concentrated in the hands of a wealthy few. Disinvestment in public goods has eroded the framework people need to get ahead. The economy too often relies on short-term behavior that hurts low-wealth people, communities and the environment.

History tells us people working collaboratively and in networked ways have the ability to disrupt those power dynamics, and the communities most affected by oppression are best positioned to dismantle it. In building our board and staff, MRBF places high value on a broad diversity of race, gender, class, sexual orientation and ability.

The ideal candidate will have a strong commitment to continuous learning, with a dedication in particular to understanding history, context, current events, lessons from our partners and opportunities for change.  We believe people’s experiences – joys and triumphs, challenges and adversity – offer wisdom and shape perspectives, which are important contributions to an organization’s culture and work. This person will have excellent interpersonal skills – a natural relationship builder who recognizes the difficulty inherent in social justice work while maintaining optimism and embracing the importance of camaraderie, humor and humility. The Associate Network Officer will be a member of the program team, a highly collaborative and responsive group that studies context and opportunities to inform grantmaking and strategies.

This is an exciting time to work at the Foundation. New board and staff members are bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to the work. The team is working to instill a clearer commitment to racial equity and more collaborative decision-making processes. The Foundation welcomes an associate who thinks creatively to help us be the best philanthropic partner we can be.

The Foundation

The Babcock Foundation’s mission is helping people and places move out of poverty and achieve greater social and economic justice. We serve an 11-state footprint, supporting organizations and networks advancing economic opportunity, increasing civic engagement and advocating for more supportive policies.

The Foundation fosters honest, respectful, supportive relationships with our grantee partners, strives to learn deeply from them and share those lessons broadly. We emphasize a clear focus on place, understanding the sociopolitical context varies from town to town, state to state. We employ multiple, layered strategies, investing in multiple organizations and networks with general support funding over time, and engage with multiple tools, wielding our reputation in service of our mission and carefully considering how we invest our financial assets. The Foundation seeks to support networks, understanding social change is more likely when people and organizations bring mutually reinforcing strategies, capacities and perspectives.

Commitment to Racial Equity

Addressing the pervasive harm racism has inflicted demands organizations examine everything they do with an explicit analysis of how race and power operate, and how our interventions can advance opportunity and justice for everyone in the region. Today the Babcock Foundation is learning to center this analysis in all our work. The board and staff are delving into the history omitted from schoolbooks and analyzing how it continues to exacerbate wealth inequality and disenfranchise people. We are collecting new data about the organizations we support and the communities they serve so we can become better partners. We are also examining internal policies, from hiring to investing, how we talk about our work, the vendors we hire, and the hotels and restaurants we patronize.
