Join Our Team!

In the four years since we launched in 2019, our small but mighty team has directed over $60 million in multiyear grants to more than 130 grantee partners. We’ve highlighted the successes these groups are having in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, the Carolinas, and across the US South and helped draw more funding there. And we’ve built community with grantee partners and funding partners, learning together as we grow the fund and help normalize more equitable grant practices. Join us!

We’re hiring for…

Atlantic Coast program officer

The Atlantic Coast Program Officer will manage an annual grantmaking portfolio focused in the Atlantic Coast region, anchored predominately in Georgia and North Carolina, in partnership with our climate and economic justice program officer. Within a participatory decision-making structure, the program officer will work with co-directors, grantee partners, allied funders, and others to support an ecosystem of grantee partners in building power to accelerate an equitable transition to cleaner, renewable energy and rein in dirty energy. Please submit your application no later than June 7, 2024. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Commitment to equal employment

In alignment with our core values and approach, the Hive Fund is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, collaborative, and sustainable work environment. We believe that White supremacy, misogyny, and economic systems that make pollution profitable are intimately intertwined. Addressing the climate crisis at a scale and in the time needed to avert disaster will require transforming the systems of power governing who pollutes, who profits, and whose lives are valued. We therefore recruit and hire with the understanding of systemic oppression and of the lived reality of people with marginalized identities and strongly encourage all to apply, especially Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous people; queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people; intersex people; people with disabilities; and formerly incarcerated people.

The Hive Fund is a project of Windward Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity that incubates new and innovative public-interest projects and grantmaking programs. Windward is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional people, and to creating a work environment that is dynamic, rewarding, and enables each of us to realize our potential. Windward’s work environment is safe and open to all employees and partners, respecting the full spectrum of race, color, religious creed, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliation, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, and all other classifications protected by law in the locality and/or state in which you are working.
