The Organization – Waverley Street Foundation
About Waverley Street Foundation
Waverley Street Foundation (WSF) builds and supports solutions at the intersection of climate change and community priorities, focusing on efforts and initiatives that draw connections between urgent local and community-based issues—including housing, transportation, food security, regenerative agriculture, and more—and the health of our planet. Unlike most philanthropies, WSF will spend down its assets—approximately $3 billion— over the next 9 years, a decision that empowers it to support not only sensible and pragmatic solutions but also daring bets and breakthroughs that can alter the trajectory of the climate crisis and unlock a new and better future for humanity.

The Opportunity
Reporting to the Head of US programs, the Program Officers will oversee and build significant grant portfolios and partnerships with likeminded funders and key stakeholders.
