We are looking for someone with skills in both project management and fundraising, able to dive deep into our largest and most complex projects and move them forward. Such a person will be adept at communicating well with those that support our mission (from our year-end donors to local family foundations and federal grant makers), as well as with local officials, and will be unafraid of making “the ask.” Most importantly, we are looking for someone with the skills to chart a path through the labyrinth: to organize information, tasks, messages, timelines, resources, and stakeholders, in pursuit of a few key projects, including Hatchquarters: our most audacious (and engaging) goal.
Interested in development work but inexperienced? We’ll invest in formal fundraising training for an applicant who shines brightly otherwise. You should be highly self-motivated, but know that this work will be strongly supported by the co-directors and program staff.

We have so much to say, and until now, so little capacity to say it. This position changes that. Our first full-time communications director will develop and implement a full-spectrum communications plan, including written, visual and audio content of all kinds. You, ideal candidate, are a gifted writer, able to shift voices depending on your audience, to move from rough ideas to finished content quickly, to speak from the Crosshatch perspective, and to help other team members shape their ideas into compelling prose. You also have a talent for marketing, able to develop strategies for using our limited time and resources to connect to our true fans both locally and around the world. Add to that some solid technical capacity around multi-media production, and an ability to step in front of the camera or microphone with poise, and you’re the person we’ve been waiting for.

The AFC Program Officer (PO) will co-manage the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation’s efforts addressing freshwater conservation and access to clean drinking water in the Great Lakes basin. The Foundation’s grantmaking under this program area emphasizes strengthening environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dedicated to the long-term protection of freshwater resources and influencing the design and implementation of related public policies. In addition, in the wake of the Flint water crisis, the freshwater program area has become more focused on ensuring that clean and affordable drinking water is available to all people throughout the region. This has led us to expand support to organizations serving low-income and historically disadvantaged communities. The individual filling this position will work with a colleague in the freshwater program and be part of the eight-person Environment program team. This is a full-time position located in Flint, MI and will require frequent travel, mostly regional.

Currently, most of the related grantmaking is focused in Tanzania where the Foundation seeks to create the conditions necessary for the private sector to develop mini-grids powered by distributed renewable energy, typically solar, for productive economic uses in remote “last-mile” communities. We aim to establish an “ecosystem” of actors—entrepreneurs, technical training schools, local financial institutions, and others—that will accelerate and deepen the uptake of distributed renewables in Tanzania, thus demonstrating the benefit of such an approach globally.

On a parallel and reinforcing track, the PO also will manage grants to organizations working at the global level to advance progress on universal access to sustainable energy (i.e., Sustainable Development Goal 7). Additionally, in 2022 the PO will oversee an evaluation of the grantmaking in Tanzania, leading to potential refinements in strategy beginning in 2023. The individual filling this position will work with consultants that know Tanzania well and be part of the eight-person Environment program team at the Foundation. This is a full-time position located in Flint, MI which will require frequent travel.
