We are looking for an Associate Director of Philanthropy to drive GFI's fundraising efforts in Asia Pacific.

How You Will Make a Difference
The work of GFI is funded through philanthropy. We fundraise as a network of nonprofits through a collaborative operating model toward a global fundraising goal.

Asia Pacific is a strategic area of growth for our global fundraising efforts and we therefore plan to expand the team on the ground.


Reporting directly to the Managing Director of GFI APAC, you will be in a senior, frontline fundraising role, building and sustaining relationships with our growing family of supporters, and building a development team as part of the GFI global fundraising framework.

Your role will have high responsibility and high impact.

Your performance in this role has the potential to make a significant impact on how quickly the world moves to a more secure and sustainable food system.


Working closely with the GFI global development team, you will be responsible for delivering and executing a fundraising strategy for GFI APAC, fully aligned and integrated with the GFI global fundraising strategy.

As the first fundraising hire in our APAC team, your work will include:

  • Scoping and leading a landscape analysis of the potential to build a base of philanthropic support in the APAC region, likely centered on Singapore.
  • Setting and achieving ambitious fundraising targets, that are part of our global development strategy. The ultimate goal is to be a net contributor to our global fundraising efforts.
  • Based on the outcome of the landscape analysis, and initial fundraising success, creating and recommending a growth plan for APAC's development team.
  • Identifying and qualifying new philanthropic prospects.
  • Building strong, meaningful, longterm relationships with major donors and prospects (both individuals and foundations) across Asia Pacific to attract, maintain and expand their support.
  • Helping keep our supporters up to date with our activities and impact.
  • Ensuring accurate, timely and thorough correspondence, acknowledgement and recordkeeping at all stages of the donor journey. You will use our CRM system (Salesforce) to manage your portfolio, ensure correct donor data, pull reports, and analyze data.
  • Coordinating closely with global GFI development colleagues, including aligning around donor strategies, participating in regular meetings (some may be outside of regular working hours, with colleagues in different timezones), and providing impact reports for stewardship purposes.
  • Coordinating with and providing support as needed to the global Foundation Relations Team with regard to prospective foundations and soliciting and stewarding grants.
  • Over time, potentially helping to drive GFI's expansion to other countries in APAC, including setting up development systems in those countries.
  • Coordinating with GFI's global development operations team to facilitate transnational giving across national borders.
  • Perform other relevant duties as required.

Who We Are Looking For
As our Associate Director of Philanthropy, we want you to have:

  • A passion for our philosophy and mission.
  • A proven track record (10+ years) of cultivating relationships with major donors and securing significant gifts. Institutional fundraising experience would be an advantage.
  • The ability to persuasively make the case for support for GFI and to represent GFI to our stakeholders.
  • Positivity and a genuine love of working with other people: a passion for building warm, longlasting relationships with our family of supporters, motivating them to maintain and increase their support.
  • Conscientiousness and attention to detail in recording and tracking interactions with donors and prospects: comfort with the 'science', as well as the 'art', of fundraising.
  • Comfort working remotely in a rapidlygrowing and evolving organisation: the ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines.
  • A very strong work ethic and selfmotivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes and get things done.
  • The ability to work in an organised and structured manner.
  • A willingness to travel throughout APAC in pursuit of philanthropic opportunities.
  • Ability to manage a nontraditional schedule as needed between travel and accommodating meetings with international colleagues.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in
