Background
Around the world, public resources are being raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people without access to the quality public goods and services they need to thrive. Governments often make public resource decisions without much consultation or information from the public. Meanwhile, those with power and privilege very effectively influence government decisions in their favour.
Our goal is to make governments raise and spend public money more so that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive and get ahead. To achieve this, The International Budget Partnership (IBP) partners with budget analysts, community organizers, and advocates in 120 countries to advance public budget systems that work for people. Together, we generate data, advocate for reform, and build the skills and knowledge of people so that everyone can have a voice in public money decisions that impact their lives. For more than 25 years we have built a global network of partners that promote the public’s right to have a say in public finance. More recently we have scaled up our impacts to help communities drive change in how governments both raise and spend public resources and to inform decisions to ensure those resource translate into quality services—from healthcare to clean water.
Purpose of Role
IBP seeks a Director of Fundraising to drive our organization's resource development and financial sustainability. Working at the highest levels of the organization, this leader will develop and implement comprehensive fundraising strategies to secure multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitments from major international donors.
