About WEDO
The Women’s Environment and Development Organization (WEDO) is a global feminist advocacy organization advancing environmental integrity, gender equality, and human rights. For more than 30 years, we have worked alongside movements to shape just policies, share power, and redirect resources toward community-driven solutions. We imagine a world where care and sustainability guide every decision, where those most impacted by crisis lead the way, and where collective action builds a future for everyone.


The Role
We are hiring a Development and Partnerships Assistant to help build and sustain the systems, tools, and relationships that fuel our work. This is an early-career role for someone who is eager to learn, highly organized, and excited to support the behind-the-scenes infrastructure of a mission-driven team.

You will collaborate across our development, communications, finance, and program teams. You will help manage calendars and contact lists, support proposal and report preparation, and keep internal tools organized and up to date. You will also help us tell the story of our impact through donor materials and shared resources.

This role offers the chance to grow in a dynamic organization committed to gender equality, environmental justice, and feminist leadership.

  • Draft and edit sections of reports, proposals, and communications with guidance from your manager
  • Conduct basic donor research and help keep contact lists updated
  • Coordinate logistics for meetings, briefings, and donor-related events
Maintain Tools and Systems

Help Tell Our Story
  • Collaborate with team members to gather stories, data points, and materials for fundraising
  • Support the development of decks, one-pagers, donor packets, and digital content
  • Help format and organize communications to reflect WEDO’s tone and style
Grow and Learn
  • Participate in team meetings, trainings, and planning sessions to understand the full scope of WEDO’s work
  • Ask questions, offer ideas, and contribute to a collaborative and joyful team culture
  • Take initiative in developing your skills and understanding of feminist fundraising and advocacy

What You Bring

  • Strong organizational skills and a systems-oriented mindset;
  • Clear writing and editing skills;
  • Comfort with Google Workspace and openness to learning new platforms like Airtable;
