BRAC USA is the U. S. -based, independent 501(c)(3) affiliate of BRAC — a Global South–led development organization founded in Bangladesh in 1972. BRAC USA raises funds, builds partnerships, and advocates to support BRAC’s global poverty-alleviation programs and social enterprises, which deliver education, primary health, financial inclusion (microfinance), livelihood development, humanitarian response, and other integrated development services across Asia and Africa. The organization highlights scaling proven, frugal, and entrepreneurial solutions to end poverty and supports social investments, university programs, and emergency responses such as the Rohingya refugee crisis.

📋 Description

• Serve as the chief strategist and architect of the Fund architecture. • Develop a multi-year vision, revenue model, and case for support that resonates with principal and transformational level donors. • Partner closely with the CEO, Board Chair, and senior BRAC leaders to ensure alignment with organizational priorities. • Develop and lead a multi-year global fundraising strategy focused on principal and transformational gifts. • Personally lead the cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship of a portfolio of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, foundation, and institutional donors. • Serve as a visible and compelling ambassador for the Fund at international donor convenings, boardrooms, and high-profile philanthropic forums. • Oversee and drive fundraising efforts targeting approximately $1B in campaign commitments over five years and reaching $2B over the life of the Fund. • Design and lead the launch and execution of the Fund’s campaign, including messaging, donor engagement strategies, and campaign milestones. • Build and steward a coalition of philanthropic champions and advisors to expand BRAC’s reach into new donor networks. • Ensure campaign discipline through performance tracking, outcome reporting, and ongoing strategic refinement. • Own and manage day-to-day administrative tasks like scheduling, travel logistics, Salesforce, and donation agreements/processing in collaboration with grants management and finance. • Own and manage the Fund’s operating budget, including travel, donor events, and outside consultants or vendors. • Coordinate across BRAC USA, BRAC Europe, and GCC affiliates to avoid duplicated or conflicting outreach to the same donors. • Collaborate with leadership, program teams, and external partners to align donor commitments with strategic impact priorities. • Provide regular reporting and accountability to the CEO, Board Chair, and relevant governing bodies.
