ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONSE FUND

The First Response Fund (FRF) is a new global pooled fund, currently in its pilot phase, that seeks to resource humanitarian responses led by feminist civil society organizations – by leveraging women’s and feminist funds’ (W/FF) funding capacity, reach, and relationships with women’s rights and women led organizations (WROs/WLOs) across regions. 

Twelve feminist and women’s funds (along with Prospera, the international network of women’s funds) worked together to design the First Response Fund centering the strategies of local WLOs/WROs in ODA-eligible countries, providing resources and accompaniment via a global network of over 50 Women’s and Feminist Funds. FRF represents an innovative advance on localization because it moves core, flexible resources to local WROs/WLOs for the life-saving, humanitarian services prioritized by their communities. 

FRF is a new initiative that builds on the existing expertise of WROs/WLOs doing critical humanitarian response and of W/FFs resourcing these groups. We are creating an accessible channel for donors to resource the humanitarian activities of WROs. 

FRF is hosted by the Equality Fund, a feminist fund based in Canada, resourcing feminist movements through global grantmaking, gender-lens investing, policy advocacy, and feminist philanthropy. Launched in 2019, the Equality Fund has activated $100 million to date which flows to more than 1,800 organizations working across 100 countries.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Humanitarian Officer provides hands-on program support as a member of the FRF Secretariat for the execution of humanitarian grantmaking efforts. Reporting to the FRF Director, this position provides crucial administrative and project coordination assistance, supports day to day operations and assists with communication and outreach to women’s and feminist funds receiving FRF humanitarian resources.

The Humanitarian Officer is based at the Secretariat, not working in the direct implementation of humanitarian activities. The role works closely with the rest of the FRF Secretariat team and relevant Equality Fund staff and FRF partners to achieve the planned results during the pilot phase of the pooled fund. The successful candidate will interact and communicate frequently with diverse external stakeholders at the working level such as women’s and feminist funds and occasionally their WLO/WRO partners, FRF’s Advisory Group, strategic partners in the feminist and humanitarian ecosystem and bilateral donors.
