CDI is one of Latin America’s most distinguished nonprofit organizations, having received more than 40 international awards for its work over the past 13 years. Founded in 1995 by social entrepreneur Rodrigo Baggio, CDI created an innovative model of promoting social inclusion through digital inclusion by partnering with grassroots organizations to open “Technology & Civic Engagement Schools” in the most vulnerable urban slums and low-income communities in Latin America. Since then, over 1 million lives have been touched by CDI’s programs; today the CDI Network is made up of 753 schools that span across 8 countries—Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. Three additional representative CDI offices operate out of New York, Boston, and London.
CDI’s main goal is not just to provide access to technology, but to teach disenfranchised communities how to use new technologies to develop local solutions to fighting poverty, stimulating entrepreneurship and empowering low-income youth to transform their lives and communities.
CDI Founder and Executive-Director, Rodrigo Baggio, has been internationally acclaimed as one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. Recognized and supported by Ashoka, Avina, Skoll Foundation, and Schwab Foundation, Baggio was also named in 2006 by the Principal Voices project as one of the world’s three leading voices in the field of Economic Development along with Jeffrey Sachs, head of the UN Millennium Development Goals, and 2006 Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus.

Global Greengrants Fund
Filed Under:
Chief Executive Officer, Boulder, CO
In the Global South, environmental degradation often has the worst impact on impoverished communities. As a result, citizens around the world have been organizing community-based groups to address these issues, despite the lack of financial support. Meanwhile, many donors in the North do not know how to approach international giving.
Global Greengrants Fund was founded to bridge the gap between those who can offer financial support and grassroots groups in developing countries that can make effective use of that support. Greengrants help donors overcome the barriers to grassroots grantmaking by identifying worthy organizations and moving funds efficiently and at minimal cost.
Working through an international volunteer network of 120 advisors, Greengrants has a built-in system of peer review and accountability that is committed to supporting movements for social and environmental justice around the world. Since 1993, Greengrants has awarded over 4,000 grants in 128 countries. These are small grants – typically between $500 and $5,000. The grants help protect biodiversity, encourage sustainable livelihoods and promote environmental justice. In 2007, the organization made 650 grants totaling $3.5 million in 81 countries. The Council on Foundations has recognized Greengrants for its creative grantmaking.
The founder and Executive Director of Greengrants, Chet Tchozewski, is transitioning to the role of Founding President. In this position he will focus externally, continuing to strengthen the field of progressive philanthropy and advancing the overarching goal of Greengrants. This goal is to increase the amount of money available for grassroots environmental and social justice groups in countries around the world where funding is scarce.
Greengrants is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to succeed the Executive Director. The ideal candidate is a passionate professional, who is committed to the Greengrants mission and will provide outstanding leadership to the organization. He/she will be responsible for all aspects of the program, budget and staffing. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive will serve as a key spokesperson for the organization and will play an instrumental role in fundraising and resource development efforts. She/he will develop and implement strategic and operational plans to provide for strong organizational growth. The Chief Executive Officer will manage the current budget of $5 million, with the goal of growing the budget and increasing the number of annual grants. This person will provide leadership for strong and effective program development, ensuring that Greengrants identify emerging issues vital to the work of the organization. Central to this position will be the responsibility for building teamwork by empowering 14 talented and committed staff in Boulder, as well as an international network of 120 advisors with deep local grassroots experience.
