About Us
Generation Climate Europe (GCE) is the largest coalition of youth-led networks on climate and environmental issues at the European level. GCE unites the largest youth-led networks, bringing together 381 national organisations across 46 countries in Europe. We are guided by the voices of over 20 million young Europeans. GCE creates a platform for the youth to advocate for a just and green transition in Europe. GCE envisions a system that respects human rights and the planet, that includes the voice of youth and acknowledges our common, but differentiated responsibility in achieving a carbon-neutral and sustainable world.
About the Role
In 2021 GCE became registered as an international non-profit association in Belgium (AISBL). Becoming a legal entity unlocked a lot of potential funding sources for the coalition. The role of the Fundraising Coordinator would be to monitor and map relevant funding opportunities for GCE. The Fundraising Coordinator would also assist our Working Group Coordinators in applying for funding and support the development of GCE’s internal organisational capacity on fundraising.
