Senior Director, Leadership Giving

The Center for Reproductive Rights is a global leader in advancing reproductive rights through the power of law. Since its founding in 1992, the Center has played a transformative role in shaping how reproductive rights are recognized and protected worldwide. With offices in five global cities and a network of more than 2,000 pro bono attorneys, the Center employs over 270 professionals working across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States. It partners with local advocates, litigates landmark cases, influences policy, and advances legislation to ensure reproductive autonomy for all people.

The Center's work is anchored in a bold vision: by 2030, half of the world's population will live under stronger legal protections for reproductive rights than they do today. To meet this ambition, the organization relies on an annual budget exceeding $60 million and an in-kind legal contribution worth over $30 million. Their impact is both measurable and historic. Over the last two years alone, their efforts have strengthened legal protections for 2.3 billion people globally.
