Donor & Communications Officer

About Plastic Solutions Fund

The Plastic Solutions Fund (PSF) is an international funder collaborative dedicated to tackling the global crisis of plastic pollution, which impacts the health of people, communities, and ecosystems worldwide. Driven by core values of equity, humility, trust, collaboration, and urgent action PSF believes that greater impact will be achieved if civil society and philanthropy work together in partnership.

PSF supports systems-change strategies across the plastics lifecycle — from extraction to disposal — with a focus on building movement power, preventing plastic production, and challenging industry influence.

A core partner of the global Break Free From Plastic (BFFP) movement, PSF works to strengthen and expand grassroots leadership driving transformational change. Over the next five years we seek to work with BFFP to help extend its reach, power and capacity. We also seek to broaden the diversity of civil society organizations and movements that we work with, supporting them to build their power in support of the transformational change we all seek.
