Movement building
BACKGROUND
We are a global fund backing local leaders solving the world’s biggest challenges. We envision a future in which everyone is conscious of and builds the kind of power that brings freedom, human rights, love and care to all. 

SCOPE OF WORK
The Equality Fund is seeking a consultant or a group of consultants to support the design of a stream of work supporting collective action across social movements focused on achieving gender equality. This stream, called “Connect,” aims to unite diverse actors, incentivize connections, and fund strategies and approaches that are particularly suited to feminist movement strengthening. 

DELIVERABLES
The Consultant(s) will be expected to produce the following deliverables for an internal audience:
  • A research plan that describes the methodology, timeline, and interviewee list for the proposed work (1-2 pages).
  • A summary of findings from desk research and interviews gathering lessons from intentional collective efforts bringing together different strategies and actors towards a common goal (thematic or cross-thematic) (2-5 pages).
  • A typology of collective efforts (i.e. networks, coalitions, consortium, etc.), what are the characteristics and relative strengths and challenges of different kinds of structures and mechanisms at different levels for successful collective action (formal and informal) (1-2 pages).
  • Brief case studies or examples of a range of funder strategies to support or incentivise collective efforts to advance gender equality, social justice and human rights agenda. There is particular interest in learning about successful collective action across movements and sectors and efforts that resulted in meaningful action among actors that had not worked together previously (2-5 pages).
  • A list of funders supporting collective action across movements that we could consult with and learn from (1 page).
  • Recommendations for how to evolve the Connect stream to support collective organizing towards a common goal between feminist movements and other non-traditional allies, as well as suggestions for how to measure success for this stream (5-10 page).

DESIRED EXPERIENCE 
  • Extensive knowledge about different types of collective efforts and cross-movement collaboration acquired through specific research or as a grantmaking practitioner;
  • A broad network of philanthropic entities who support collective efforts;
  • Understanding of philanthropic program design and call for proposals;
  • Broad  knowledge and experience with feminist organizations and movements, preferably in one or more regions where the Equality Fund works (i.e. Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Central Asia);
  • Strong research, interview, focus group, and writing skills;
  • Expertise in feminist modalities for information gathering and engaging in a consultative process with internal and external stakeholders;
  • Highly organized, analytical, adaptive and responsive to feedback and changes in direction when needed;
  • Strong facilitation skills;
  • Availability to undertake this consultancy over 2-3 months starting May 2026.
