Job Description

The Eleanor Crook Foundation (ECF), a growing US-based philanthropy focused on global nutrition, has undergone a process of significant growth, visibility and clarity of vision since 2015. The ECF portfolio consists of three key grantmaking programs (research, local capacity-building, and advocacy), supporting over two dozen non-governmental and research organizations across half a dozen countries.

As ECF’s ambitions and aspirations grow, and as ECF’s position in the global nutrition space becomes more prominent, ECF has reached an opportune moment to take a step back and reflect on the journey so far and identify the optimal way forward. With a growing technical team at ECF and with an increasing ability to influence the global nutrition space in advocacy and research, it is critical at this stage to identify the optimal path forward in order to ensure ambitions and objectives are achieved. Moreover, it is critical to ensure that for every dollar invested, that the greatest impact can be realized and the greatest return on investment can be achieved.

To that end, ECF seeks a competent and experienced Consultant (individual or firm) to lead the development and finalization of ECF’s 2019-2025 Strategic Plan. ECF will work closely with the Consultant to ensure the Strategic Plan is in line with ECF’s ambitions and the commitments ECF has established with existing and potential grantees.
