Fund Director, REBUILD

About Us

REBUILD.US is advancing a new model for disaster response– to channel millions in private donations that flow during a climate shock to immediate care and relief operations and enlist survivors of climate shocks to organize for systems change solutions.

Launched in August 2025, REBUILD.US is a fundraising and grantmaking platform, moving funds in 48 hours of a disaster to experienced, local leaders who are in community both before the disaster strikes and long after the headlines fade. REBUILD.US is intended to serve as both a rapid response platform for a mass audience as well as shared infrastructure for aligned partners in philanthropy, labor, state and national organizing, and policy groups.

The premise behind REBUILD.US is that billions of dollars are channeled to charity in post‑disaster moments – mainly to global legacy organizations that provide temporary aid and rarely stay for long‑term recovery. This flow of resources fails to move resources to the ground quickly nor invest in local organizations that work in the community year‑round and are best positioned to respond where it’s most needed right away.

This resource system also fails to address systemic problems that are exacerbated by the climate disasters, such as housing, economic insecurity, fossil fuel pollution, extractive land and water use, a broken immigration system, and voter disenfranchisement.

REBUILD.US’s pilot was built and tested at Organizing Resilience by moving $16m across 21 disasters to 125 local organizations. REBUILD.US is one part of a growing constellation of related interventions under the Organizing Resilience umbrella, including a National Disaster Survivors Association, a Creative Command Center, and an early‑stage disaster recovery venture. REBUILD.US’s long‑term goal is to raise and direct 10% of all private philanthropic dollars given during climate disasters.

REBUILD.US is fiscally sponsored by Assets Under Movement.

REBUILD.US is seeking an experienced Fund Director who is excited about the opportunity to build the broadest base of disaster donors from all walks of life, geographies, and socio‑economic statuses – to channel tens of millions of dollars into immediate response and long‑term organizing for change. After a successful pilot phase and launch, this leadership role will focus on creating a scale plan and organizational structure and systems that achieve our North Star goal of contesting for 10% of all private philanthropic dollars during climate disasters.

The ideal candidate will be able to hit the ground running to lead REBUILD.US’s transition from startup to scale.

The Fund Director owns the strategy and success of REBUILD.US and will work closely with its Founder and the Executive Director of Organizing Resilience, while also aligning strategies with leadership across our other interventions. Internally, the Fund Director will translate an ambitious long‑term vision into measurable goals and clear priorities, and ensure execution. During climate shocks, the Fund Director will lead rapid‑response activations, coordinating team and partners to make strategic decisions that allow the team to execute quickly.

Externally, the Fund Director should be credible and effective in front of stakeholder audiences, including donors, partners, movement leaders, and the press when the moment calls for it.

This role is designed for a creative and ambitious “generalist” who also has expertise in one or more of the following: grassroots fundraising, major donor organizing, digital communications, and/or marketing and branding. The ideal candidate has experience managing a team within a rapid‑response or startup environment, thinks in systems and measurable outcomes, and can turn significant activity into a focused work plan with clear hypotheses, opportunities for testing, and impeccable follow‑through.
