About the Rebuild Team
The Rebuild India Fund aims to support the most vulnerable communities across India, and the NGOs that work with them, by giving them the power to serve meaningfully and the flexibility to run their organizations as they see fit. We will do this by funding 100 locally led, community-rooted NGOs every year with 5-year unrestricted grants, backed by need-based multi-year capacity-building support.
The fund works with NGOs, philanthropists, and sector intermediaries to amplify the voices of leaders from the community and shift power dynamics in grant-making. Having already committed $17.1M to 274 NGOs and now expanding to 500 NGOs, we are excited to move into this new and unique chapter of our work and build the team that will enable it.
We are looking for driven, passionate, and empathetic individuals who are committed to supporting locally led, community-rooted NGOs across India, who are excited by the idea of creating a path-breaking movement that challenges the status quo, and who have a burning desire to see an equitable India.
