As RIVET’s Director of Development, you will translate our compelling mission focused on providing micro-grants to youth innovators in “capital deserts” around the globe into significant philanthropic support from high networth individuals, family offices, and foundations.
The Director of Development will join a dedicated, passionate, low-ego team of founders in launching a first-of-its-kind social movement led by young people. This new role reports into the CEO, working across the organization with all team members and volunteer leadership.
The Opportunity
RIVET is a new social purpose (NGO) brand that is leveraging the collective consumer power of Gen Z to create the world’s first micro-funding platform focused exclusively on young social innovators. Partnering with major brands (eg Nike, EOS, Adidas, Funko Crocs), we plan to raise half a billion dollars over the next decade to provide small, start-up grants to a million young changemakers (under 30) from every corner of the globe.
RIVET distributes these grants through a network of youth-serving NGOs who have already built on-the-ground relationships in communities and with youth who are ready to lead. These groups identify promising youth-led ideas, oversee grants & support, and track impact & identify promising projects for scale.
While RIVET’s model will be self-funded at scale, as a nonprofit start-up we need philanthropic “build capital” until our model is fully built and operational.
We’re looking for a Director of Development to partner with our CEO, staff team, young social innovators, and supporters to raise $3MM in philanthropic dollars to fund our growth to financial sustainability by the end of 2025.
