VOLUNTEER - AMSTERDAM - REMOTE

About Kinder

At Kinder, we’re passionate about empowering global citizens to do good, better. We know that trust in the charitable giving sector is at an all-time low. And that as individual people, we can struggle to feel like we can make a real difference when it comes to global issues. We’re fighting these obstacles with effective solutions that help both the charitable giving sector and individuals become more impact-driven and informed. The result is a team of global organisations and citizens who are able to make a real, meaningful difference to the causes they care about.

The challenge is pretty clear: Can we get people to donate (more)? Can we help fund the best organisations? Can we help them be more efficient and effective? Can we help them spend less time and energy on fundraising? Help downsize overhead costs? Regain people’s trust in the donating sector? Here’s the good news: we totally can!

We’re working to start a revolution in the way we all affect change. Join Kinder to see just how easy it can be.

About the Position

Research Volunteer

We need help assessing the effectiveness, transparency and accountability of nonprofits. As a researcher, you will be vetting charitable organisations from all over the world. They are assessed on their ability to strategise, the quality of their program execution, and their engagement with research. Furthermore, you’ll assess whether their ethical standards are up to par. We use a two-step vetting framework and as a volunteer, you will most likely be helping us with the second stage.

By vetting with Kinder you help improve the nonprofit sector by informing potential donors of great charitable organisations. Do you have a background in social sciences? Do you have a critical and analytical mind and are you not afraid of questioning long-held beliefs, and want to push forward toward a better world? Join Kinder!
