The RISE Together Fund (RTF) and RISE Together Action Fund (RTAF) support cutting‑edge Black, African, Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim, and South Asian (BAMEMSA) field‑led work. RTF bolsters its national grantmaking with programming, field building, and technical assistance to build and expand the capacity of the BAMEMSA movement toward racial, gender, and queer justice and a fully inclusive and representative democracy.

RTF is the first and only national donor collaborative dedicated to supporting the critical work of BAMEMSA individuals and organizations facing anti‑Muslim targeting, hate crimes, and xenophobia. In 2021, RTF’s grantees spanned 18 states and since 2008, RTF has granted more than $18 million and reached more than 500 organizations.

Program Officer will help develop, execute, and evaluate grantmaking and program development, strategy in furtherance of RTF and RTAF goals. Specifically, the Program Officer will help oversee RTF’s grantmaking activities, implement grantee program development, technical assistance, capacity and field building efforts and/or other learning opportunities to support the BAMEMSA field.
