Waverley Street Foundation (WSF) builds and supports solutions at the intersection of climate change and community priorities, focusing on efforts and initiatives that draw connections between urgent local and community-based issues—including housing, transportation, food security, and more—and the health of our planet. The Foundation is especially eager to partner with communities that are already enduring severe impacts of climate change and that deserve a central place in solutions. WSF prioritizes representation, diversity, equity, and inclusion in all facets of its work.
Unlike most philanthropies, WSF will spend down its assets—approximately $3 billion—over the next 10-15 years, a decision that empowers it to support not only sensible and pragmatic solutions but also daring bets and breakthroughs that can alter the trajectory of the climate crisis and unlock a new and better future for humanity.
WSF strives to do things differently, and be entrepreneurial and innovative in our grantmaking approach. As we take on the task of addressing global climate change, we are adopting a campaign mindset where we look to empower people and communities to ensure that their governments adopt and implement climate-friendly policies. Starting with some of the highest emitting nations, the goal is to demonstrate the collective will of humanity to reside on a livable planet, and to develop momentum for climate improvements across the globe that results in a transition to clean energy sources and sustainable living.
WSF works in deep collaboration with field experts and advisors, as it is essential that the Foundation’s strategy is developed out in the world, informed by the lived experiences and innovative ideas of those most directly impacted by the problems the foundation seeks to address. Specifically, WSF convenes experts from various disciplines who are close to communities and their experiences, to develop solutions.
The Director of Learning reports to the Managing Director and Chief of Staff (MD/CoS). In this role, you will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of a comprehensive impact and learning strategy for WSF. You will work with the MD/CoS to ensure that WSF’s campaign and grantmaking strategies are developed and implemented using evidence and learning frameworks to maximize impact. You will produce evidence that can be used in a timely manner by the WSF team to support and refine our campaign strategy.
