Who we are

Charitable arm of the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. Raising awareness and philanthropic funds to support cutting-edge scientific research at the nexus of agriculture, environment, and nutrition. Funding research projects that safeguard agricultural biodiversity, adapt food systems to climate change, improve nutrition, and support communities and smallholder farmers, particularly women, in the Global South.


The role

​We are looking for enthusiastic, well-connected individuals to join our Board, chaired by Lady Malloch Brown, and help advance our mission to support agricultural biodiversity, food security and climate resilience.

Trustees provide strategic guidance, independent oversight and constructive challenge, while playing an active role in developing philanthropic relationships, building partnerships and introducing potential supporters.

We welcome experience in philanthropy, business leadership, finance, investment, communications, international development, agriculture or environmental sustainability.

Above all, we seek curious, collaborative and influential individuals who enjoy bringing people together, spotting opportunities and using their networks to make a difference.

The commitment is approximately one day per month, including three Board meetings annually, usually held online. The role is voluntary, with an initial three-year term.
