About FILE

The Foundation for International Law for the Environment (FILE) was set up in 2018 to be the major philanthropic re-granter scaling up legal action globally to tackle the climate and the biodiversity crises.

We work as movement enablers, campaign strategists, and impact funders, using the law in pursuit of three interconnected system-level goals:

• Reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to protect the climate
• Safeguarding nature
• Delivering climate and environmental justice

We pursue these goals not just by supporting legal action directly. We believe in growing the strength of the climate and biodiversity legal movement globally, and in enabling people and movements to use legal action to shift narratives.

As movement enablers, campaign strategists, and impact funders, we at FILE do not ourselves bring litigation. As a regrantor, FILE is not an endowed foundation, but rather we engage in fundraising to secure resources to support our partners globally.

• Ensure grant data and documentation is up-to-date and filed appropriately, including input into FILE systems as required. 

• Perform data capture and maintain database records. Support the management of FILE’s key grants database, including supporting development and revision of database processes, structure and workflows. 

• Regular communication with applicants and grant holders, particularly when supporting the due diligence process for applicants. 

• Collaborate with the Grants Manager on annual planning, grants development, in-life grants management, pipeline planning and partnership building with partners. 

• Work up to managing and holding relationships with partners for a small number of grants. 

• Performance & outcome monitoring – support the Grants Manager to effectively monitor the progress and outcomes of projects and grants together with the Legal Strategy and Impact and Learning teams. This will include the scheduling of reporting requirements, and supporting the evaluation, impact and learning processes.

• Support other portfolio teams if required and time allows.

Key Competencies
