  • Lead the Responding to Anti-Gender Ideology (RAGI) Funders’ Task Force through managing task force members and key stakeholders, developing meeting agendas and preparatory materials, and facilitating meetings.

  • Support and increase membership in the Task Force, communicate regularly with members, and integrate themes from the Task Force into other GPP programs and platforms. 

Donor Engagement

  • Implement the strategy of the Philanthropic Field Engagement program that 1) engages the gender justice philanthropic sector to maintain, diversify, and increase their funding to global LGBTI movements and 2) mobilizes funders in adjacent sectors (gender equality, human rights, democracy and civic space, and climate justice) to increase support for LGBTI movements within their strategic priorities. 
  • Develop tailored advisory briefs and presentations for different audiences, including philanthropic institutions, allied philanthropic networks, and civil society organizations. 
  • Work with the Director of Philanthropic Field Engagement to cultivate and facilitate virtual and in-person funder convenings through GPP’s diverse funder organizing initiatives.
