Job Description

MADRE is an international women’s human rights organization and feminist fund that partners with community-based women’s groups in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East who face war and disaster.
MADRE works towards a world in which all people enjoy the fullest range of individual and collective human rights; resources are shared equitably and sustainably; women participate effectively in all aspects of society; and people have a meaningful say in decisions that affect their lives.

MADRE offers a comprehensive model of support to our grassroots partners using
three interconnected strategies—grantmaking, organizational strengthening, and
legal advocacy—to meet urgent needs and create opportunities for women and girls
in marginalized communities to assert their agency and voice.

Using these strategies, MADRE provides long-term and flexible financial and direct
service support to community-based women’s and girls’ groups who are largely under
the radar of traditional philanthropy and/or where conflict or disaster have rendered
them difficult to fund and challenging to reach. We work at the intersection of three
program areas—Ending Gender Violence, Advancing Climate Justice, and Building
a Just Peace—and across five priority communities who are disproportionately
marginalized: young women and girls, Indigenous women, Afro-descendant women,
LGBTIQ people, and people with disabilities.

The first grant maker to hundreds of organizations, in MADRE’s nearly 40-year history, we have disbursed over $56 million in grants and in-kind support to organizations across the globe.
