Who We Are
Girl Effect builds youth brands and mobile platforms to empower girls to change their lives
We’re a creative non-profit empowering girls to change their lives. Started by the Nike Foundation, we are experts in media, mobile, brand and international development: a unique mix of skills that we use to solve global problems in a different way.
We work across the world in places where girls are marginalised and vulnerable. We create youth brands and mobile platforms for young people in ways they love and interact with. We deliver these through the media and mobile tech they use every day – from apps that build skills, to TV dramas that explore vital issues, to magazines written by girls.

This includes ensuring the Board of Directors have an understanding of the organization and their role by preparing and developing materials, providing regular updates, etc.
The Major Gifts Officer reports to the Head of Strategic Partnerships and Innovation and will work closely and collaboratively with the CEO, as well as Board members and other external stakeholders.
What You’ll Do
