Vacancies: Chair / Board Members – PlanetRomeo Foundation


Are you passionate about building a more just and equal world for LGBTQIA+ people? Do you want to use your board or management experience, time, and talent to support real global change? PlanetRomeo Foundation is looking for two new volunteer board members ready to make a meaningful impact worldwide.

About Us

Since 2009, PlanetRomeo Foundation has been supporting the global fight for equal rights and opportunities for our communities. We’ve funded 419 grassroots projects in 98 countries: brave initiatives that create safe shelters, foster community, and bring visibility and connection through sports and cultural events.

Our grants -up to €6,000 each- support local changemakers where support is needed most. Thanks to our connection with the ROMEO platform with their access to approximately 2.5 million users worldwide, we’re uniquely placed to raise awareness and secure funding across borders.

The Foundation consists of 6 or 7 volunteers in the Management Board and 3 or 4 volunteers in the Supervisory Board. A few of these members are coming to the end of their terms this year and therefore we are currently seeking a Chairperson for the Management Board and a Chairperson for the Supervisory Board.

1. Management Board – Chair

You’ll lead a team of six dedicated volunteers. You’ll coordinate and chair monthly meetings (in Amsterdam and online), oversee two or more funding rounds per year, manage finances and reporting (including ANBI compliance), represent the Foundation externally, and maintain strategic partnerships—especially with our main sponsor, ROMEO BV.

2. Supervisory Board – Chair

You’ll prepare and lead three to four supervisory meetings per year, coordinate with the Chair of the Management Board in the twice per year joint meetings, and jointly oversee annual strategy, reporting, and budgeting. You’ll play a key role in safeguarding the Foundation’s overall direction and function.

Who We’re Looking For

You have the time, commitment, and drive to support LGBTQIA+ communities worldwide. These are unpaid, voluntary positions, requiring on average 4 hours per week (Management Board), 4 hours per month (Supervisory Board). Experience in nonprofit work, (international) grantmaking, or fundraising is a plus. We also welcome specific expertise in communications, governance, financial oversight, or strategic planning.

We strongly value diversity and inclusion in our team. No matter where you’re from, your background, or how you identify: we welcome your unique voice and perspective.

Interested? We’d Love to Hear from You

If this sounds like the opportunity for you, let us know which role(s) you’re interested in and send your CV and motivation letter via [email protected]. Deadline 29 August 2025.
