DIRECTOR OF PHILANTHROPY
HEALTH IN HARMONY
Location–Remote
The Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Health In
Harmony in the search for a Director of Philanthropy.
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Director of Philanthropy
will accelerate the growth of Health In Harmony to meet the urgency
of the climate crisis. The Director of Philanthropy will work with
the Founder, the Executive Director, the staff, and Health In
Harmony's passionate Board of Directors to focus on building
long-term relationships with donors and to develop strategies that
will take the organization from $2.75 million to $20 million over
the next five years. The Director of Philanthropy may live and work
from anywhere in the United States, with a willingness to travel
when safe again. Health In Harmony's donor base has significant
contingents in San Francisco and on the East Coast. Its Executive
Director and most of its U.S.-based staff live in Portland,
Oregon.
In a business-as-usual scenario, global temperatures will rise at
least 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial averages by 2030,
according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Without
immediate action to prevent this rise, Earth and its diverse
ecosystems will face irreversible negative impact by
mid-century.
Health In Harmony is a nonprofit organization working to reverse
deforestation of tropical rainforests as a solution to global
heating. It does this by partnering with communities in and around
rainforests, who often have to log, mine, or poach for the cash to
pay for healthcare-related emergencies. Health In Harmony's Radical
Listening™ approach facilitates community-designed solutions to
which it brings the necessary resources, such as primary
healthcare, organic farming skills, reforestation, and small
business creation. In doing so, Health In Harmony assists their
desires to preserve tropical rainforests.
Health In Harmony started working in Indonesia in 2007, and in 2019
it expanded to Brazil and Madagascar. In Indonesia, since 2007,
Health In Harmony has reduced the number of logging households
surrounding Gunung Palung National Park by 90%, reduced infant
mortality by 67%, and protected $65 million worth of above ground
carbon (Jones et al, publication pending. These results give Health
In Harmony the confidence to replicate its model in other
rainforests around the world. Over the past three years Health in
Harmony has doubled its donor base and revenue, while maintaining
high levels of donor retention and engagement.
Health In Harmony's staff and Board reflect the world’s diversity,
and understand that the climate crisis is built upon colonialism
and generations of systematic racism and exploitation. Health In
Harmony is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of
inclusion, mutual respect, support, and connectedness. In
recruiting for its team, Health In Harmony welcomes the unique
contributions that diverse individuals can bring in terms of their
education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity
and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s
status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and
beliefs.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
five years of professional experience in philanthropy including
senior management roles with a focus on strategy. Experience in a
rapidly-evolving or entrepreneurial organization, including a role
in growing the organization, or innovating the nonprofit or
for-profit sector is preferred. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of Health In Harmony.
