The Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity (CGRE) cultivates new donors and raises new funds for game changing state-focused investments that advance gender, reproductive, and racial equity in the United States. CGRE provides funding to unite advocates across issue silos; defend gender, reproductive, and racial equity; and work towards a future where every person has the resources and autonomy to thrive. CGRE’s Advisory Committee (AC) of funders learns together with field experts, amplifying the impact of their giving, and accelerating change in five-year increments. CGRE’s approach focuses on three core areas of work: Judicial Strategy, Movement Power, and Majority Building. Since launching five years ago, CGRE has deployed over $200 million in funding to grantee partners.


The Role

The Senior Program Officer, State Strategies, will work collaboratively with the Chief of Programs, other team members, and consultants to implement program strategies that deliver impact and advance gender, reproductive, and racial equity. Specifically, the Senior Program Officer (SPO) manages the movement power and state judicial grantmaking strategy of both CGRE + GEAF in select states. The SPO maintains relationships with grantees, serves as a partner for their needs and requests, manages grants, tracks emerging trends, and synthesizes information and learnings internally. They are an active member of the larger CGRE + GEAF teams. This is a newly-restructured, US-based, remote role that requires periodic travel.
