The Honnold Foundation is entering an exciting period of growth. Over the past two years, the organization has doubled in size, expanded its grantmaking to support more community-led solar projects and provide organizational development support to its partners, and strengthened its influence within community-led climate philanthropy. As it continues to grow, the Foundation is investing in the leadership and systems needed to scale its impact while remaining grounded in its values.
Reporting to Executive Director Emily Teitsworth, the Vice President of Programs will provide strategic leadership for the Foundation's global and domestic programs, grantmaking, learning, and partner support. Leading a four-person programs team and working closely with leaders across advancement and operations, this role will strengthen coordination, guide program strategy, and help shape the Foundation's evolving approach to community-led climate solutions and organizational capacity building for partners.
As a key thought partner to the Executive Director, the Vice President will help translate strategy into action, build effective systems without creating unnecessary bureaucracy, and ensure the organization continues to balance growth with flexibility, trust, and responsiveness to partners. The Vice President will also represent the Honnold Foundation externally, contributing to conversations about community-led renewable energy, climate justice, and trust-based philanthropy.
