The goal of the Philanthropic Partnerships team (PPT) is to provide services and connections that support more informed and intentional giving by all. A signature program of the PPT is the Giving Pledge (www.givingpledge.org), which is a public commitment by the world’s wealthiest individuals and couples to give the majority of their wealth to charitable causes. More than 180 individuals/families have taken the Giving Pledge from 22 countries. There are a number of events and resources provided throughout the year for Giving Pledge members to build relationships and exchange ideas about philanthropy.
The Project Coordinator will facilitate and coordinate a range of activities and projects in support of the Giving Pledge on the Philanthropic Partnerships team (PPT).
The Project Coordinator will provide integral support to relationship management for the Giving Pledge in “back of house” capacity by working closely with team members across 4 primary functions:
- Data Management and Online Community –The PC will maintain our CRM tool as well as exporting and analyzing aggregate data/information.
- Research and Correspondence - Research and organize information about current members; draft correspondence; develop meeting agendas and briefs.
- Learning Engagement Logistical Support – The PC will play a key role in executing logistics for learning opportunities, including: managing event registration website and event collateral.
- Special/Cross-cutting Projects for Relationship Management –Support weekly relationship management team meetings with agenda and follow up tracking, respond to cross-foundation requests involving our members, and available to support ad hoc projects as needed.
We work in a highly collaborative work environment. Precision and organization are as important as having fun. We aim to balance many things on our team: hold ourselves to high standards and deliver excellence, celebrate successes and failure/lessons learned, collaborate and delegate, and work hard while still making time for our own wellbeing. We value varied skillsets on the team and actively find opportunities for professional growth and development.
