Foster a culture that promotes trust, respect, equity, integrity, and operates with a movement-building orientation.
The ideal candidate for VP of Programs will be a seasoned, mature manager and skilled communicator who thrives in a complex, diverse, and multi-stakeholder environment within a start-up culture; and has demonstrated success developing and deploying philanthropic resources to implement a multipronged strategy for successful outcomes in a campaign or public policy environment.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
The Climate + Clean Energy Equity Fund (the Equity Fund) is supporting a multi-state infrastructure of community-based organizations building power needed to advance an equitable clean energy future. The Equity Fund is strategically building power by:
Investing in the leadership and organizing of diverse communities (Black, Latinx, AAPI, Indigenous people, and communities bearing the brunt of climate change);
Engaging voters in these communities through nonpartisan civic engagement campaigns; and
Winning climate and clean energy policy solutions that reflect the priorities of communities and advance racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Founded in 2016, the Equity Fund partners with organizations in 13 states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia), and will expand its reach to additional states in the coming years.
Grassroots groups advocating for and organizing communities of color, Indigenous, working class and rural communities – often people hardest hit by climate change – are accomplishing critical work to build the collective power of communities. These communities are often the strongest supporters of climate policy and are a key political force to advance community demands and win durable policy change. The Equity Fund serves as a conduit for foundations and donors to partner with and support these grassroots organizations across the country. Because of Equity Fund’s expertise and deep relationships with community-led groups working at the intersection of climate change and economic, racial, and environmental justice, the Equity Fund can identify and nurture local grantee partners that have large-scale bases of members and track records of winning policy victories in their cities and states. The team then works to synthesize and share lessons learned from their grantee partners so that foundations and donors can better understand how grassroots groups can more effectively build power to advance climate solutions and then develop and coordinate funding strategies that will have the greatest results.
OPPORTUNITIES & EXPECTATIONS FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMS
The Vice President of Programs will serve as a critical member of the Executive Team and advance the Equity Fund’s mission by leading the Equity Fund and Action Fund’s programmatic priorities. Reporting to the President, and in collaboration with the President and program leads, the VP of Programs will drive the planning and execution of the Equity Fund’s Grants and Power Building, Communications Accelerator, and Policy Accelerator program strategies and goals.
As an experienced and decisive leader who knows how to foster relationship building and collaboration across teams to drive progress, the VP of Programs will advance a strategy for climate equity that is centered around building the power of diverse communities to advance equitable climate policies. This role is internal-strategy oriented, driving the big picture strategy and prioritization of the Funds’ programmatic work alongside external relationship building with funders, allied organizations, and grantee partners. The successful candidate will refine and clarify process for each programmatic function, ensuring that the Program Team understands the details of a sharpening theory of change, the process through which their input is received and considered, and how their work connects to the organization's mission and impact.

With a proven approach to driving impact and a highly effective set of stakeholders and investors, the Equity Fund is facing a number of exciting opportunities. With the field that the Equity Fund supports growing quickly and public investments in clean energy transition accelerating, the Fund is spinning out of its fiscal sponsorship and establishing a new, independent institution that can meet the needs of the growing and dynamic ecosystem of grassroots organizations and expand their collective impact. Poised for significant growth, the Equity Fund has evolved and is growing its executive leadership structure and operating model to lead effective strategy, systems, and culture for the team. To that end, the Equity Fund invites nominations and applications for the position of Vice President of Programs , who will provide important, executive leadership to both its 501(c)(3), and the Climate Equity Action Fund, 501(c)(4), and the field of climate philanthropy during this dynamic time.
The Vice President of Programs will be responsible for driving the Equity Fund/Action Fund’s grantmaking and programmatic strategies to achieve its mission of building the power of racially diverse communities to advance equitable climate policies. Immediate opportunities for impact include:
Programmatic Leadership
Lead staff on the Grants and PowerBuilding team to develop grantmaking goals and strategies to win equitable climate policies and campaigns by prioritizing grassroots organizing and building power in the Equity Fund’s 13 portfolio states.
Lead staff on the Policy Accelerator and Communications Accelerator teams to support grantee partners to build key policy and communications capacities and campaigns that leverage and maximize the power of community-led solutions.
Lead the Program team to sharpen, integrate, and refine its strategies to accelerate success across the Fund’s portfolio through continual analysis, learning, and innovation.
Field Leadership
Advance grantmaking approaches and models that prioritize organizing, equity, building power, and building deep partnerships and trust with grantee organizations.
Drive philanthropy to support and accelerate social change impact through innovation, creativity, and bold action.
Staff Leadership and Management
Inspire, mentor, and manage staff by guiding the Program Team through change and continued growth while maintaining high standards of professionalism and impact.
Foster a culture that promotes trust, respect, equity, integrity, and operates with a movement-building orientation.
The ideal candidate for VP of Programs will be a seasoned, mature manager and skilled communicator who thrives in a complex, diverse, and multi-stakeholder environment within a start-up culture; and has demonstrated success developing and deploying philanthropic resources to implement a multipronged strategy for successful outcomes in a campaign or public policy environment. They will have executive experience managing high-performing teams and driving collaborative decision-making, and will be able to shift appropriately between the roles of skilled tactician, team coach, manager, and visionary leader. They will ideally bring experience in community-driven processes of passing and implementing climate policy, organizing and power building experience, grantmaking or re-granting experience, and additional lived and professional experience relevant to the Equity Fund’s work. They will be an entrepreneurial, results-driven, relationship builder who is committed to the Equity Fund’s mission and values of power building to accelerate the transition to an equitable clean energy future.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
The Climate + Clean Energy Equity Fund (the Equity Fund) is supporting a multi-state infrastructure of community-based organizations building power needed to advance an equitable clean energy future. The Equity Fund is strategically building power by:
Investing in the leadership and organizing of diverse communities (Black, Latinx, AAPI, Indigenous people, and communities bearing the brunt of climate change);
Engaging voters in these communities through nonpartisan civic engagement campaigns; and
Winning climate and clean energy policy solutions that reflect the priorities of communities and advance racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Founded in 2016, the Equity Fund partners with organizations in 13 states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia), and will expand its reach to additional states in the coming years.
Grassroots groups advocating for and organizing communities of color, Indigenous, working class and rural communities – often people hardest hit by climate change – are accomplishing critical work to build the collective power of communities. These communities are often the strongest supporters of climate policy and are a key political force to advance community demands and win durable policy change. The Equity Fund serves as a conduit for foundations and donors to partner with and support these grassroots organizations across the country. Because of Equity Fund’s expertise and deep relationships with community-led groups working at the intersection of climate change and economic, racial, and environmental justice, the Equity Fund can identify and nurture local grantee partners that have large-scale bases of members and track records of winning policy victories in their cities and states. The team then works to synthesize and share lessons learned from their grantee partners so that foundations and donors can better understand how grassroots groups can more effectively build power to advance climate solutions and then develop and coordinate funding strategies that will have the greatest results.
OPPORTUNITIES & EXPECTATIONS FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PROGRAMS
The Vice President of Programs will serve as a critical member of the Executive Team and advance the Equity Fund’s mission by leading the Equity Fund and Action Fund’s programmatic priorities. Reporting to the President, and in collaboration with the President and program leads, the VP of Programs will drive the planning and execution of the Equity Fund’s Grants and Power Building, Communications Accelerator, and Policy Accelerator program strategies and goals.
As an experienced and decisive leader who knows how to foster relationship building and collaboration across teams to drive progress, the VP of Programs will advance a strategy for climate equity that is centered around building the power of diverse communities to advance equitable climate policies. This role is internal-strategy oriented, driving the big picture strategy and prioritization of the Funds’ programmatic work alongside external relationship building with funders, allied organizations, and grantee partners. The successful candidate will refine and clarify process for each programmatic function, ensuring that the Program Team understands the details of a sharpening theory of change, the process through which their input is received and considered, and how their work connects to the organization's mission and impact.
The VP of Programs will be responsible for providing leadership and driving success in the following key areas:
