  • Head of Finance

    Head of Finance

    Giving What We Can (GWWC) is seeking a Head of Finance to build the financial infrastructure and team needed to scale a multi-entity grantmaking organization from $40 million towards $3 billion in donations to high-impact charities every year.

    Your work would make or break our ability to help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as extreme poverty, the suffering of animals in factory farms, and global catastrophic risks facing current and future generations. If you build the systems and team that allow us to grow even 1% faster YoY, you would be directly responsible for $360M in additional donations going to high-impact charities.

    The opportunity

    If the 1% richest in the world would donate 10% of their income we could within years end extreme poverty, end hunger and malnutrition, massively reduce factory farming and much, much more. Research-backed, scalable, but grossly underfunded ways to make progress on these problems exist.

    And whilst every donation towards a high-impact organisation might be small in comparison to the entirety of the problem, every donation can make an extremely meaningful difference in the lives of the individual humans or animals that benefit from it.That’s why more than 10,000 people have pledged at least 10% of their income to the world’s most effective charities by taking Giving What We Can’s ????10% Pledge. The entire GWWC community already gives over $80 million every year – funding malaria prevention, global poverty reduction, animal welfare, work on global catastrophic risk and more.

    We’re just getting started.

    Our goal is 1 million pledgers giving at least $3 billion annually to high-impact organisations. And we’re looking for a Head of Finance to make that possible.Someone who can build the financial systems and controls as well as the finance team needed to scale a multi-entity grantmaking organization by 100x over the next decade and a half, from $40M/year to $3B/year in donations to the highest-impact charities.

    What you’ll do

    You will own the full financial function of a fast-growing, multi-entity (US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands) non-profit, including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, compliance filings, controls, and building systems for scale. You will get to shape the organization’s financial infrastructure, processes, and team, and grow alongside the organization.

    More specifically, you would be responsible for:

    • Day-to-day finances. Accurate and timely reconciliations and book closing, accounts payable, cash and liquidity management, and managing our interest-bearing holdings.
    • Managing, growing, and representing the finance team. Managing our finance associate and external accountants; maintaining relationships with financial advisors, US/UK auditors, and US/UK/CA treasurers and legal counsel. As we grow, building and developing a team of high performers.
    • Budgeting, reporting, forecasting, and strategic financial advice. Serve as a close thought partner to the executive team and boards, delivering budgets, reports, and forecasts hand in hand with strategic advice for our key metrics and organizational strategy.
    • Implement, enforce and improve our financial controls. Ultimately responsible for ensuring proper management of $30M+ in annual funds (and growing every year), with appropriate due diligence.
    • Payroll across jurisdictions. Ensuring our staff and extended team members all get paid the correct amount on time every time.
    • Statutory and regulatory filings. Managing multi-entity audits and all other statutory and regulatory financial filings, coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to deliver on time and implementing improvements as we go.
    • Building and improving financial processes and systems. From new AP software and multi-entity reporting to investment and cash management policies — building and improving systems so we can scale radically without financial errors or lapses in oversight.
    • Grant finance. Tracking restricted and designated funding accurately, preparing cash balances ahead of grant rounds, and ensuring all grant recipients receive their grants accurately and on time with appropriate information sharing and due diligence.

    A day in the life of…

    You log on from your home office or co-working space and quickly check if there are any urgent financial questions from internal and external stakeholders. You notice there is a donor seeking to make a large stock transfer from outside of the US and you collaborate with our auditor and payment processing providers to figure out the most effective and secure way to receive these funds while keeping our community team in the loop for donor stewardship.

    You then begin preparing your bi-weekly meeting with our accountants. You review their draft management report and the monthly books in detail, flag several improvements and irregularities, and figure out the process improvements we need to prevent those from happening in the future.

    Your afternoon is focused on meetings, so after your lunch break you prepare your agenda for the 1:1 with your manager and prepare a discussion of your project timeline and rollout for a comprehensive review of our payment processing providers, the contracts, and rates. You also present your proposed solution and implementation timeline for receiving UK stock donations as a charity, for which you had researched several options and made a cost-benefit analysis.

    Afterwards you meet with all managers across the organization to train them in budgeting their team’s projects, providing the information needed to our accountants to track these projects, and address any questions they may have about our finances. This is a meeting in a series of financial training sessions you have developed for our internal staff to make more informed decisions.

    You end the day with a brainstorming session with the Head of People: we are planning to hire several new people in three different European countries, and you are collaborating to figure out whether the advantages of hiring them directly outweigh the additional administrative work and compliance risk.

    What we’re looking for

    • Deep financial management experience. 5–10 years managing finances, ideally accountable for (core parts of) an organization with a >$25M/year budget and/or several entities.
    • Meticulous attention to detail. You notice the unexplained variation across months, spot the fund allocation missing in our list of thousands of donations, and every budget and calculation you deliver is squeaky clean — because you meticulously and systematically review your own work and the organization’s finances.
    • Strategic decision-making. While no material error finds its way past you, you also know where diving into the details is worth our time. You bring strategic cost-benefit analyses to key decisions.
    • Deep accountability. Everything in your portfolios happens without prompting, on time, with excellent stakeholder communication. Nothing slips through the cracks; deprioritized responsibilities are communicated proactively.
    • Building scalable systems. When you encounter a problem, error, or new request, you assess whether it requires an ongoing process — and if so, you build a scalable system.
    • Fluent financial communication. You can fluently translate complex financial matters for stakeholders – including those with no financial background. You keep relevant stakeholders appropriately informed.
    • You care about our work. You don’t need to be an effective altruism expert on day one, but you deeply care about creating a world without extreme poverty, animal suffering, and existential risk – a world where everyone can flourish. And you want to be a part of the movement that makes this happen.
    • Preferred experience (we expect you to bring some of these, not all of them):
      • Certified accountant or strong technical accounting knowledge (UK, US, or equivalent; IFRS, US/UK GAAP, SORP, etc.);
      • Risk management, especially for remote, grantmaking, multi-entity, or rapidly growing organizations;
      • People management: growing and managing high-performing teams;
      • Scaling financial operations and building the systems to enable it;
      • Familiarity with non-profit or philanthropy finance;
      • Working with financial providers of a wide variety, including payment processing providers and responsibilities such as renegotiating contracts;
      • Managing finances of multi-entity or international organizationsacross jurisdictions.

    If you’re unsure whether you meet our criteria, I’d strongly encourage you to apply or reach out to head-of-finance-hiring@givingwhatwecan.org.

  • Research Associate

    Research Associate

    Giving What We Can (GWWC) is seeking a Research Associate to strengthen the research that underpins our work as we grow towards our goal of 1 million pledgers donating $3 billion USD to high-impact charities annually.

    You will join a small but growing research team responsible for helping a growing community of over 10,500 pledgers give as effectively as possible. Your work will be vital in ensuring we continue to offer high-quality giving opportunities that concretely address some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as extreme poverty, the suffering of animals in factory farms, and global catastrophic risks facing current and future generations.

    Your impact in this role

    Your work will help inform where a growing ~$80 million USD in annual charitable donations made by our community are directed, so that they most effectively improve the lives of others. You will add critical capacity to a small research team: stress-testing our work, deepening our evaluations, and helping ensure that our communications are held to the same standards of reliability and integrity, even as our output grows. Thousands of donors rely on GWWC for high-quality giving recommendations and effective giving guidance — your work to improve our research decisions could ultimately improve the lives of millions of sentient beings.

    Key responsibilities

    Co-determine which programmes we include on our donation platform and recommend to donors (~55%)

    Guard the epistemic quality of GWWC’s content (~25%)

    Contribute to internal monitoring and evaluation (~20%)

    • Conduct specific analyses that support GWWC’s regular internal impact evaluations and ongoing impact monitoring.
    • Support the writing and review process for our public impact evaluation reports.
    • Provide other GWWC teams with high-quality research outputs that can inform their strategic decisions.

    We expect a successful applicant to develop quickly within the role over time and take on increasing responsibility for specific work streams within the GWWC research team such as a specific cause area.

    A day in the life…

    You start by catching up on overnight messages from colleagues in other timezones and flagging items that need urgent attention, then join a weekly research check-in with your manager Aidan. You discuss an open question from your current evaluator evaluation: you’ve been investigating whether a quantitative model an evaluator uses to assess grant applications reasonably tracks marginal cost-effectiveness, and you’ve found what looks like an important flaw in the calculations, which could have major implications for the quality of the evaluator’s decisions. Together you work through whether this is a genuine concern that could influence the outcome of your evaluation, agree on next steps, and book a meeting to discuss the issue with the evaluator later in the week.

    Next you jump on a check-in call with another evaluator that the research team may evaluate later in the year. On this call, you learn about various changes that the evaluator made since GWWC’s last evaluation. The evaluator shares they are especially excited about an improvement you personally suggested in the last evaluation because they think it will meaningfully improve the impact of the grants they make. After the meeting you write a short internal memo summarising your updated views on whether we should prioritise evaluating this evaluator or defer this evaluation and share it with your manager.

    In the afternoon, you switch context to review an early draft outline for a long-form video on vitamin A supplementation prepared by the growth team. With some digging you catch that the academic literature doesn’t support the narrative arc as currently presented in the outline. You flag your concerns and note how you think the narrative could be made more accurate, while remaining resonant.

    You spend the last few hours of your day on focused analytical work. You analyse the results of a survey that you helped design to understand GWWC’s actual influence on the giving of different groups of pledgers. You notice some surprisingly large differences between different pledger groups and — realising that your findings could have significant implications for how GWWC prioritises pledge growth work — you write out your findings to share with the team.

    Ideal candidate profile

    We know that confidence can sometimes hold people back from applying. There’s no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you’re excited about this role and think you could be a great fit, we strongly encourage you to apply.

    While we expect a successful candidate would have some prior research experience (e.g., academic research projects, research fellowships, policy analysis), we are open to a wide variety of profiles. We are open to entry level candidates (0-2 years of experience), who would be placed within the first half of the salary range, but also to more senior hires (e.g. up to 4-5 years of experience), who would be placed within the second half of the salary range. What we truly care about is your ability to perform effectively in the role.

    This means having the following essential skills and traits:

    • Evidence integration and judgement under uncertainty. You can weigh different types of evidence — quantitative estimates, qualitative assessments, expert opinion — and reach a considered view even when the picture is incomplete or conflicting. You’re comfortable saying “I think X, with these caveats” rather than deferring indefinitely.
    • Conceptual thinking. You can step back from the details and evaluate whether an argument, model, or framework hangs together as a whole — whether the pieces are internally consistent and whether the approach actually tracks what it claims to. You think at the level of “does this make sense?” not just “is this number right?”
    • Strong analytical skills. You’re comfortable working with quantitative data — whether that’s interrogating a spreadsheet model, interpreting a cost-effectiveness estimate, or spotting where numbers don’t add up. You also notice when an argument relies on a hidden assumption or when a claim doesn’t quite follow from the evidence presented.
    • Strategic prioritisation. When faced with a sticky research question and limited time, you zoom out, identify what matters most for the decision at hand, and focus there — rather than getting lost in every detail.
    • Clear reasoning and communication. You can summarise complex evidence concisely, explain your reasoning transparently, and flag your uncertainties. Your written work is something others can build on because they can see why you reached your conclusions.
    • Alignment with GWWC’s mission and values. You have a strong motivation to make the world a better place and a clear alignment with GWWC’s mission, team values, and community values. You care more about finding the truth than defending a position, and you change your mind when the evidence points that way.

    Beneficial skills and experience (we expect you to bring some of these, not all of them):

    • Comfort with key research concepts in effective giving — such as marginal cost-effectiveness, counterfactuality, and quantitative models of charitable impact — whether through formal training (e.g., the Ambitious Impact Research Training Programme, an EA fellowship, or similar), prior work in impact-focused charity evaluation or grantmaking, or self-directed study
    • Academic or professional research experience — particularly involving evidence synthesis or evaluating the quality of others’ research
    • Experience with monitoring and evaluation or impact assessment (e.g., in a non-profit, government, or development context)
    • Editorial judgement: experience identifying where written content oversimplifies or goes beyond what the evidence supports — not just surface-level fact-checking
    • Experience querying and analysing data using programming languages such as SQL, R, or Python
    • Familiarity with GWWC’s existing research, the effective giving ecosystem, or specific cause areas (e.g., global health and development, animal welfare, existential risk reduction)

    Benefits

    We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, budgets for mental health and wellbeing and professional development, flexible working arrangements, parental leave and support, and pension. There is some variation in the benefits depending on your location, to be confirmed in the offer letter.

  • Community-Centered Connectivity Grant Program: USD $50,000- $200,000

    Community-Centered Connectivity Grant Program: USD $50,000- $200,000

    The Internet Society and the Internet Society Foundation are pleased to announce the opening of applications for the new Community-Centered Connectivity (CCC) grant program, which supports connectivity solutions to increase the availability of affordable, reliable Internet access for digitally excluded communities. Applications are open until 7 May 2026.

    Why Community-Centered Connectivity Solutions Matter

    Over 2 billion people are still offline. That’s a quarter of the world’s population without access to a tool that enables people to access education, find work, run businesses, connect with public services, and stay in touch with friends and family.

    Large-scale efforts by governments, the private sector, and multilateral institutions have extended connectivity to most of the world, but these approaches are not enough. In many rural, remote, or underserved communities, the economic models that drive traditional expansion don’t work. But efforts that are focused on communities often do.

    “Community-centered connectivity is when connectivity solutions are built for, with, or by local communities themselves,” said Michuki Mwangi, Distinguished Technologist – Connectivity and Insights, at the Internet Society. “These solutions are not imposed. They are designed with direct involvement from the people who will use and maintain them. The CCC Grant Program supports people and organizations doing exactly that.”

    What Is the Community-centered Connectivity Grant Program?

    The CCC grant program is part of the Internet Society’s effort to help communities bridge the digital divide. It supports connectivity solutions that solve the major barriers to meaningful connectivity for communities: availability, affordability, and adoption. This can take different forms, like fostering Internet adoption by strengthening digital literacy and local capacity to manage and maintain connectivity solutions.

    The CCC grant program has two open funding tracks for eligible organizations, based on their organization’s capacity, experience, the scale, and duration of the project they propose. While applications from any eligible organizations are welcome, we will give a strong preference to those working with refugees/displaced communities, Indigenous communities, and women and girls. The open funding tracks are as follows:

    • Catalyst Track: Up to USD $50,000 to build at least one new connectivity solution, or expand an existing solution, in a community. This project can take up to 12 months.
    • Scaling Track: Up to USD $200,000 to support deployment of proven, successful solutions to improve or expand connectivity to multiple communities. This project can take up to 18 months.

    How Do I Know If My Organization Is Eligible to Apply?

    Required criteria include being registered as a non-profit or social enterprise and being able to demonstrate the capacity to lead and deliver the proposed project as planned. The full list of criteria is available on the Community-centered Connectivity Grant Program page. The easiest way to determine eligibility is to take the short quiz on the program’s page.

    Applications will be open from 17 March 2026 until 21:00 UTC on 7 May 2026 and must be submitted through the Foundation’s grant management platform (Fluxx), in English, French, or Spanish.
    If your organization wants to build community-centered connectivity solutions to help make sure everyone has access to the Internet, visit the CCC grant program page, take the quiz, and stay tuned for information sessions designed to help applicants succeed.

    Take the quiz and find out if your organization is eligible to apply.

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    • Why are you focusing on community-centered connectivity? The reality is that communities most affected by the digital divide are also among the most marginalized. At the Internet Society and the Internet Society Foundation, we believe that community-centered connectivity is not just a technical solution. It is a way of addressing exclusion, enabling participation, and building the Internet from the ground up. It ensures that the people who are currently offline are not just passive users, but active creators of their own digital futures.
    • What types of solutions are community-centered connectivity? CCC solutions include community networks, cooperatives, Indigenous-led connectivity projects, and many other models. They rely on local governance, use affordable and appropriate technology, and are sustained through flexible models that reflect community priorities.
    • Which of the three barriers – affordability, availability, adoption – should my project focus on? We seek proposals that address three barriers of digital divide: Availability, Affordability, and Adoption. For the Catalyst Track, the community-centered connectivity (CCC) solution should address at least two of the three barriers. For both the Scaling and Systems Tracks, the CCC solution should address all three barriers.
    • Why do you have a preference for organizations working with refugees/displaced communities, Indigenous communities, and women and girls? What if my project does not focus on these communities? As part of the Internet Society’s 2030 Strategy, we want to leverage solutions that help address issues such as global inequality. Digitally excluded groups, especially Indigenous communities, women and girls, and refugees/displaced communities, are among those who face several other inequalities and challenges that connectivity can help address. Therefore, the CCC Grant Program will give strong preferences for project proposals intending to work with these three specific communities. You are still welcome to apply even if you do not intend to engage and connect these communities.
    • Is this program open to Internet Society Chapters? Yes. Note: If your Chapter intends to apply for the Catalyst funding track (up to USD $50,000), your application will be through the Beyond the Net Community-Centered Connectivity focus area. The application for CCC Catalyst and Beyond the Net Community-Centered Connectivity are the same. Chapters can apply for the Scaling funding track (grants up to USD $200,000) providing they meet eligibility requirements.
    • What is a deployment? Deployment means installing the physical infrastructure of a connectivity solution, training people who will use the network, communicating about the project with stakeholders, and putting all the business plans into operation. Please read more about what is involved in a deployment in Internet Society’s Community Network Do-It-Yourself Toolkit.
    • What is required if I become a grantee? All grantees must submit regular reporting to the Foundation. Reports are due approximately every six months, and a final report is due one month after the project is completed.
    • What are some examples of eligible project expenses? Eligible project expenses include connectivity equipment, resources and materials for training, relevant travel costs, personnel/contractual costs, and indirect costs. Please remember to note the currency exchange rate used to draft the project budget.
    • Will the BOLT and Connecting the Unconnected grant programs open this year? As part of the Internet Society 2030 Strategy, the Community-Centered Connectivity Grant Program will be the connectivity funding initiative at the Internet Society Foundation. We will continue to support existing grantee projects under the BOLT, Resiliency, and Connecting the Unconnected programs until those projects are complete. Thereafter, the BOLT, Resiliency, and Connecting the Unconnected programs will come to a close. You can read more about this in the Foundation’s 2026 Action Plan.

    About CARE 

    CARE is an international NGO with local staff and community partners in 100 countries. We create local solutions  to poverty and inequality, and we seek dignity for everyone every day and during times of crisis. These solutions  have a broad range, from disaster response to food and nutrition to education and work for women and girls to  healthy mothers and children. CARE puts women and girls at the center of everything we do because when they  have equal access to resources, they lift their families and communities out of poverty. Our staff live where they  work, which makes us effective at understanding the challenges they face. We’ve been doing this for over 75 

    years, since World War II. It started with the world’s first CARE Package® of food for the post-war hunger in  Europe. Our work today is as important as ever, we believe that poverty and inequality are historic injustices that we can end within a generation, for good. If you share our core beliefs: poverty is an injustice; poverty is  solvable; and together, we have the power to end it and our core values: TRANSFORMATION, INTEGRITY, DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, and EXCELLENCE then you are welcome to join us.
