Opportunity Summary

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the Alliance is not just funding projects; we are building alliances that connect national ambition with the funding needed to power inclusive growth, strengthen resilience, and unlock a green economy. Our work ranges from using clean energy to power livelihoods in the Amazon to advancing aggregated battery storage solutions across the Caribbean.

We are looking for a sophisticated, outcome-oriented Senior Fundraising Consultant who knows where the "less-obvious" money is in the region—the local wealth that is keen to invest in the future of energy. This is a role for a proven rainmaker who can leverage existing local networks and unlock capital from sources like family offices, corporate CSR/sustainability funds, local foundations, and high-net-worth individuals who are often overlooked by traditional international NGOs.

You will be the architect of Global Energy Alliance or Energy Alliance’s LAC-focused philanthropic strategy. This is an intense, six-month consultancy (that may be extended) designed to deliver immediate ecosystem intelligence and a practical, sequenced fundraising plan. Your main goal is to map, connect, and activate a pipeline of six-, seven-, and eight-figure commitments from regional and local funders who align with our priorities.

Key Responsibilities and Deliverables

1. Map the Non-Traditional Wealth Ecosystem:
   • Deep Prospect Intelligence: Identify and maintain a live database of LAC-based and LAC-focused family offices, corporate foundations, philanthropic intermediaries, and HNWIs relevant to clean energy, resilience, and economic access.
   • Market Strategy: Design a practical, sequenced philanthropic strategy and implementation plan focused on activating this local wealth.
2. Activate High-Quality Funding Pipeline:
   
   • Door Opening: Leverage your existing relationships or proven ability to quickly build new ones to generate qualified, high-value introductions for GEAPP’s LAC program leads.
   • Targeted Outreach: Tailor engagement materials and pitch decks for diverse funder profiles—from corporate foundations interested in supply-chain resilience to family offices focused on climate innovation.
   • Pipeline Management: Establish and manage a clear CRM/tracker to monitor prospects, next actions, and revenue forecasts, ensuring a strong base for future team execution.
3. Drive Strategic Co-Financing & Intelligence:
   
   • Proposal Development: Co-develop concise concept notes and proposals, aligning GEAPP's programmatic priorities (Amazon PUE, Caribbean BESS, regional coalitions) with local funder criteria.
   • Horizon Scanning: Track relevant calls for proposals (CFPs) from MDBs, DFIs, and bilaterals to identify co-financing and blended finance opportunities that can amplify philanthropic capital.
4. Strategic Integration & Leadership:
   
   • Serve as the senior advisor on LAC philanthropic and co-financing market intelligence, helping to shape the Alliance’s regional strategy and country approaches.
   • Plan and coordinate up to two high-impact donor convenings/roundtables and two regional events to advance fundraising objectives and position the Alliance as a thought leader in LAC clean-energy philanthropy.
