Climate Breakthrough is a global philanthropy supporting extraordinary climate leaders to pursue ambitious and transformative climate endeavors through the Climate Breakthrough Award: a multi-million-dollar, multi-year, flexible grant. Our mission is to make an outsized impact in resolving the climate crisis by freeing leaders to translate their boldest ideas into transformative climate action that swiftly and justly closes the gap between the world today and a sustainable future. 

 

Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Climate Breakthrough is funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the IKEA Foundation, The Lemelson Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Oceankind, and Vere Initiatives. For more information, visit www.ClimateBreakthrough.org.

 

 

Reporting to the Senior Grants Manager, the Grants Assistant will provide vital administrative and operational support to Climate Breakthrough’s grantmaking activities, ensuring smooth, accurate, and compliant processes across the grant lifecycle. Under the supervision and guidance of the Senior Grants Manager, the Grants Assistant will support timely disbursement of awards, management of grant reporting processes, management of contracts, and maintenance of up-to-date records in the internal database. The Grants Assistant will also ensure proper documentation, file management, and data security.

 

This is a great opportunity for someone who is familiar with grantmaking processes, experienced in operating grants management platforms and other digital tools, and is highly organized with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
