The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI values diversity and inclusion and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.

Overview of Team:

The Donor and Grants Common Practice (DGCP) team supports a multitude of fundraising and donor relations efforts throughout the organization. We work to ensure that global, regional and country teams have support in producing quality proposals and reports, and that internal communications around donor relationships, donor intel, and donor compliance requirements are effectively communicated and shared. We support CHAI’s overall fundraising goals through improving fundraising skills across the organization through targeted trainings and maintenance of fundraising related resources on our Resource Suite. The DGCP team also maintains CHAI’s institutional memory on donors and funding history through maintaining our Salesforce database, our current Customer Resource Management (CRM) platform.

Overview of Opportunity:

CHAI’s DGCP team is seeking a Volunteer to lead our research on other CRM platforms that exist besides Salesforce, our current CRM platform. The Volunteer will report to a DGCP manager and will conduct independent research into CRMs on the market to outline how each CRM would enable CHAI to organize and track different types of donors including high net worth individuals, institutional donors, and campaigns. The candidate is expected to be detail-oriented, a strong writer, and clear communicator.

Benefits to the volunteer:

This project provides a unique opportunity to a volunteer to gain insight and experience into non-profit fundraising to support health programs in low- and middle-income countries. The volunteer will build hands-on experience in this field and will have a chance to work with key personnel across the organization and thus build their professional network.

This is an unpaid opportunity with the flexibility to work remotely within the United States. The anticipated duration of this opportunity is approximately 2-4 months up to 12 hours a week, or until the desired research is completed.

• Conduct independent research into CRM platforms
• Clearly document key information about how each platform would enable CHAI to organize and track different types of donors including high net worth individuals, institutional donors, and campaigns
