Ignite Philanthropy
Ignite Philanthropy: Inspiring the End to Violence Against Girls and Boys is a pooled, collaborative donor fund whose members are Human Dignity Foundation, Oak Foundation, and Wellspring Philanthropic Fund. Ignite Philanthropy nimbly catalyzes and incubates strategic initiatives that advance the field of violence prevention to bring an end to all violence against children.
Among other priorities, Ignite Philanthropy seeks to help build a strong resource, asset, and commitment base for effective efforts to prevent violence against children. To this end, Ignite Philanthropy has supported the 2017-2018 conceptualization and incubation of the End Violence Investors Forum. The Investors Forum convenes major, international, public and private, source donors to collaborate and to align and increase funding and advocacy for urgently ending violence against children, in support of the mission of the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children.
The Forum aims to complement, not duplicate, the work of other existing donor affinity groups, and it is neither a donor fund nor a new fundraising mechanism. Its principles are transparency and trust, collaborative action, partnership for impact, evidence-based solutions, alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals, and a fundraising-free zone. A core group of bilateral and philanthropic donors held the Forum’s first two in-person meetings in 2018 and will continue guiding future efforts. Among others, participating public and private donors include the Governments of Canada, Japan, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States, and Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Human Dignity Foundation, Oak Foundation, Porticus Global, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, and World Childhood Foundation. As relevant, future participants may also include corporate and individual donors.
Given the enthusiasm to date, Ignite Philanthropy is committed to progressively developing, testing, and refining the Investors Forum concept over 2019-2020 in collaboration with these donors and future donor participants. With Ignite Philanthropy support, they will continue co-creating and piloting the Forum through two thematic donor action hubs (i.e., online sexual exploitation of children, and violence in and around schools), deciding respective objectives and strategies, and feeding in strategically to the Forum’s broader collective activities.
Ignite Philanthropy’s Senior Coordinator will lead all aspects of the End Violence Investors Forum. These include, for example, generating the 2019-2020 strategy and work plan, developing and expanding donor participant relationships, overseeing the development of a compelling narrative for donor participation, facilitating donor action hubs, planning all Forum meetings and events, and selecting and managing external vendors as needed to accomplish Forum objectives. The Senior Coordinator will continuously innovate and improve upon processes and products as needed to drive engagement and best achieve overall Forum goals. The Senior Coordinator will lead on strategy development and execution in close consultation with the End Violence Investors Forum Co-Chairs, Ignite Philanthropy’s Director, as well as participating Investors Forum donors.
The Senior Coordinator will be an integrated member of the Ignite Philanthropy team, and will hold related Ignite Philanthropy responsibilities such as project financial oversight, documentation, learning, and reporting. Limited administrative support will be available for Investors Forum work until on-going internal/external support needs are defined during 2019-2020 planning.
The Senior Coordinator role is a two-year post with a start date as soon as possible. An extension to this for a further one-two years is anticipated but is subject to continued Investors Forum success and additional dedicated resources from Ignite Philanthropy members. The post location is flexible worldwide but preferably based in North America or Europe due to ease of access to current Investors Forum donors.
