About Us
Atlas of Today’s World aims to help the worldwide public better understand the broad socio-political reality of today’s world. Living in an information environment which is overflooded with fragmented information and manipulation makes it very difficult to develop a correct understanding of the global situation. Yet, this understanding is needed for developing global solidarity and to reduce current polarization connected to global issues such as migration or major conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, Gaza or Iran. To address this, we are building a new kind of map-based encyclopedic source. It is being created in close cooperation with invited experts, but popularised for non-expert audiences. It will be promoted through collaboration with other NGOs, media outlets, and influencers.
We have just prepared the first version of a big-picture portrait of the socio-political situation in the Middle East and North Africa (our first world region). Moving forward, we will be reaching out to potential authors for the individual entries and negotiating partnerships with various research institutions, media outlets, NGOs, and influencers. The project has been created in a close collaboration with an editor from the Candid Foundation, and a media partnership is currently being discussed with Global Voices.
About the Role
We are looking for a fundraiser who will prepare Atlas applications for various public grants or corporate opportunities in the European Union and beyond. They may also be involved in building our membership community. Please note that this role will be on a volunteer basis to start. A successful candidate will learn about our ambitious project and familiarize themselves with our previous grant applications.
Minimum Requirements
Ability to write and communicate professionally in English
5-10 hours/week availability
Availability for weekly online meetings
At least 1 year of experience in grant fundraising (alternatively, experience with corporate fundraising or with the small donation model)
What Can You Expect:
You can expect support from a diverse Atlas team with expertise in multiple areas and a flexible working schedule.

We offer experience, volunteer status, and potential long-term membership in our organisation for committed colleagues. This allows more managerial, leadership and decision-making opportunities, as well as voting rights in the association.
