Why this is on the board
GiveDirectly has transferred more than a billion dollars directly to people in poverty since 2011. This lawyer builds the legal groundwork that lets that money keep flowing: data agreements with telecoms companies and governments, and templates that colleagues in fifteen countries can use themselves. Done properly once, reusable after that.

About the role
GiveDirectly has delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty across 15 countries since 2011. We believe cash transfers are one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid, with the research to back it up. Our work has been covered by The Economist, NPR, TED, and The Washington Post. We are one of Time100’s Most Influential Companies of 2026.
