About the David and Lucile Packard Foundation The David and Lucile Packard Foundation is where the Program Analyst will work. The Packard Foundation was established in 1964. David and Lucile Packard believed that along with universities, national institutions, community groups, youth agencies, family planning centers, and hospitals, foundations constitute a great American tradition that complements government efforts to focus on society's needs. The Foundation's mission is to work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. Through a recent strategic planning process, the Foundation identified three overarching, interdependent goals to guide the Foundation's work: Protect and Restore Our Natural World, Invest in Families and Communities, and Build Just Societies. About the Democracy Rights and Governance Initiative. The goal of the Democracy, Rights, and Governance Initiative (DRG) is to support a thriving, resilient, pro-equity democracy in the United States. While this is a new initiative at the Packard Foundation, initial focus areas include supporting election integrity; supporting effective governance and bolstering faith in the institutions of government; repairing the United States' social fabric; and supporting the field in developing a positive, long-term future vision of U.S. democracy. The Democracy, Rights, and Governance initiative sits within the Packard Foundation's goal to "Build Just Societies," which are key to supporting families and communities and protecting our natural world. When the institutions, structures, policies, and practices that form societies are inclusive and fair, they create conditions for more sustained progress on issues such as racial equity, reproductive rights, and a strong civil society and thriving civic space. About the Partnership The UC Berkeley-Haas School of Business (through the Center for Social Sector Leadership) offers this unique fellowship in philanthropy at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to provide next generation leaders the opportunity to engage with philanthropic and nonprofit leaders and work with a grantmaking team serving diverse issues and populations. The vision for this partnership is to strengthen the future of philanthropy and civil society by providing recent graduates from diverse disciplines and backgrounds a professional-level introduction to philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. The goals of the fellowship are to 1) introduce recent graduates to philanthropy and the role of nonprofits to strengthen their impact in a future career and 2) introduce the Foundation to fresh ideas, new skills, and diverse perspectives. The Program Analyst will join a cohort of six other Philanthropy fellows at the Foundation working on environment & science, families and communities, reproductive health, civil society and leadership, and US racial justice. There will be quarterly activities for the cohort of fellows. Application Review Date The First Review Date for this job is: 03/21/2024. Responsibilities
