Women Moving Millions’ (WMM) mission is to catalyze
unprecedented resources to realize a gender-equal world. Launched
initially as a campaign, WMM founders believed in the power and
potential of what is possible when you gather a community of women
together with a shared commitment to change the world. In the last
decade, the community has grown to nearly 400 members who have
collectively committed over $1B to improve the lives of women,
girls, and gender-expansive people worldwide. WMM does this not
just because they believe in gender equality, but because it’s a
smarter, more effective way to foster a more equitable world.

At WMM, they envision a gender equal world where women and girls
are agents of change in their own lives and communities. A world
that is just, at peace, and flourishing. To achieve this vision,
they believe greater resources must be directed to the intersecting
movements fighting for gender and racial equality. With less than
2% of philanthropic capital going to women and girls, this vision
will remain out of reach unless the quantity and quality of funds
going to feminist movements and leaders increases
exponentially.

To accomplish this vision, WMM seeks to strengthen the funding
ecosystem of the movement and serve as a bridge to the intersecting
movements working towards gender equality. Through the curation of
a dynamic community of women philanthropists, they are able to tap
into and leverage members’ collective influence and power
(resources, social capital, and expertise) and drive greater
capital to accelerate progress. WMM takes a ‘big tent’ approach to
its membership, including women at all stages of their
philanthropic journeys, creating spaces for members to be
vulnerable, build trust, and hold one another accountable as they
learn, grow, and act.

Today, WMM brings its unique platform, movement expertise, and
position as a leader in catalyzing capital to bear in everything
they do. It has a proven track record of moving money to the
movement: from its founding campaign, which raised a groundbreaking
$181M for 41 women’s funds, to the 2020 Give Bold, Get Equal
Campaign, which secured $110M in new member commitments amidst the
height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Women’s Power and
Influence Fund, seeded by Pivotal Ventures in 2022, which activated
over $11M in new giving. WMM’s history and approach as an
organization and community builder is proof that when women give
boldly, others will follow.

In 2023, WMM launched a new strategic planning effort, with
leadership support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to
offer a new, bold vision and roadmap for how WMM will meet the
urgent challenges impacting women’s rights globally and set it on
an accelerated path to move the next billion dollars in resources
to the movement for gender equality in its history. Through this
plan, WMM seeks to unleash the full power of this community, and
support a more diverse ecosystem of members, nonmembers, funding
partners, and investment activity.

Amid this critical mission and environment of extraordinary
investment and expansion, WMM seeks candidates for Chief
Philanthropy Officer (CPO). The CPO provides comprehensive and
strategic leadership of WMM philanthropic engagement and revenue
growth initiatives. The primary responsibility of this leader is to
drive strategies for the ongoing growth of a diverse community of
philanthropic support and deep, long-term relationships based on
the common goal of gender equality. Reporting directly to the CEO,
the CPO works closely with senior executive and Board leadership to
establish and advance philanthropic engagement goals and secure the
revenue necessary to sustain WMM’s overall efforts for gender
equality. The CPO will manage an evolving team that currently
includes the Director of Community Engagement, Assistant Director
of Communications, and Member Engagement Associate and is projected
to expand commensurate with organizational growth and in
consultation with the CEO. The CPO will lead efforts to fund
implementation of WMM’s strategic priorities by simultaneously
growing sources of recurring revenue (member dues and
contributions, foundation and corporate support) to ensure
long-term sustainability and raising supplementary growth capital
through major gifts to WMM from members and foundations.

This is a unique opportunity to play a significant role in
advancing gender equality for a philanthropy leader who possesses a
background of developing and executing creative, effective
fundraising strategies and events as well as a sophisticated
understanding of influencing and stewarding high-net-worth donors,
family offices, foundations, and institutional philanthropy.
