International Fundraising Coordinator
Amsterdam
Full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) is the world’s largest grassroots environmental federation with 72 autonomous member groups around the world. FoEI aims to ensure that the struggles and experiences of local communities – especially those most affected by unsustainable development – are brought to bear on policies and practices at national and international levels. We focus on climate justice and energy, forests and biodiversity, food sovereignty, and economic justice, gender justice and environmental human rights defenders.
FoEI’s decentralized and democratic structure allows all member groups to participate in decision-making. A small International Secretariat (IS) in Amsterdam and a team of global staff supports the member groups, campaigns, programs, and other activities of the federation through fundraising, campaign coordination, trainings, communications, and information management.
FoEI is seeking an International Fundraising Coordinator to build and lead a comprehensive fundraising program to support the work of the federation, its regions, and programs. The position reports to FoEI's International Coordinator and may be based in FoEI's International Secretariat in Amsterdam or in a country where FoEI has a member group. The Fundraising Coordinator will lead two fundraisers in Amsterdam and Spain, serve as part of the management team for the IS and assist with the overall management of the IS.
Fundraising must be aligned with FoEI's mission and values and FoEI does not accept donations from corporations. FoEI's current budget of nearly €5 million comes primarily from development aid, foundation grants, and membership fees. FoEI aims to diversify and increase its funding base to provide long-term stability for the federation and enable its programs and regions to rise to the challenge posed by the multiple systemic crises we face.
