about the job
We’re launching a global Profit for Good movement to channel corporate profits into the most effective charities. Because we believe that corporate philanthropy is an underutilized source of high‑impact funding.
On June 11, The School for Moral Ambition and Peter Singer hosted the first-ever Profit for Good conference. Now, we want to transform that momentum into concrete impact.
From July 14 to October 22, our three-person team consisting of Julia van Boven, Jeljer Haarsma and Tahnee Didderen will dedicate two days per week to this mission. In this period, we want to:
- Craft a robust global strategy
- Build an initial coalition of Profit for Good companies
- Raise our first €1 million in funding to grow the global movement
To achieve this, we seek one or two strategy consultants with strong research skills and presentation experience to join our team and collaborate on the assignment below.
about the role
We’ve identified six core questions to formulate our strategy. You’ll support us using desk research, expert interviews, and analysis of conversation recordings to answer some of these questions.
Deliverables:
- Market-Size Analysis
- Total corporate donations by continent
- Estimated share going to effective charities
- Estimated potential going to effective charities
- Competitive Landscape Mapping
- Map similar initiatives as Profit for Good globally (e.g. 1% for the planet, for Purpose, B Corp)
- Benchmark strengths, weaknesses, positioning
- Identify differentiation opportunities
- Methods to shift donations toward high-Impact giving
- Evidence-based tactics (e.g., benchmarking dashboards, consumer checkout nudges, tax incentives)
- Scan existing tools and case studies (e.g., effective giving platforms)
- Strategic Scenario Development for Profit for Good activities
- Sketch 2–3 strategic pathways (e.g., coalition-first, certification-led, platform-driven)
- Evaluate potential impact, feasibility, resources, and timelines
- Strategic Scenarios for Profit for Good entity
- Sketch 2–3 strategic pathways (e.g. part of The School for Moral Ambition; separate entity; other options)
- Evaluate potential impact, feasibility, resources, and timelines
Jeljer Haarsma will be your first point of contact for the assignment, providing weekly sparring, feedback, network access and relevant documentation.
We’re considering recruiting two volunteers, so you will collaborate on these deliverables in a duo- making the assignment more fun and feasible.
