We are seeking a Program Officer who is excited to support our current programs and grantees, while helping to more closely align those programs with our commitment to racial, economic, and social justice, and environmental sustainability. The Foundation made approximately 180 grants over the past two years totaling $14 million. Our five-person staff is highly collaborative and engaged. The Program Officer will be responsible for managing and co-managing grantmaking in one or more of our current grants portfolios. These include the Arts, Democracy, Environmental and Climate Justice, Reproductive Justice, and Strengthening New York Communities (SNYC) programs. The current sub areas within SNYC include Housing and Land Justice and Workers Rights and Justice. The distribution and extent of this work will depend on the expertise, capacities, and interests of the new Program Officer. Strong candidates will have a deep understanding of racial justice grantmaking, including the interconnectedness of work funded across portfolios as well as the other work being done at the foundation. Familiarity and/or experience with organizing and movement-building and the philanthropic partners that support this work is preferred. The position requires creativity, curiosity, and the desire to learn.
