Dear Friends,
After six wonderful years as Executive Director, I have taken the difficult decision to leave IDEX. During my time here I’ve had the privilege to work with an extremely committed staff, a dedicated Board, and a truly inspiring set of partners and grantees. I would like to thank all who have supported IDEX during my tenure with your time and generosity. My personal and professional life has been permanently enriched by these relationships.
In my time here I have seen IDEX flourish into a larger and more effective organization. Our model of participatory grantmaking is gaining traction throughout the international development community. And, while it is never an ideal time to make such a transition, my sadness is lessened by the fact that I leave the organization in the hands of some amazing staff who will ensure that our programmatic efficacy and our financial stability will continue for years to come.
Over the next few weeks, IDEX’s Board of Directors will carry out an open hire for the Executive Director position. You can review the job announcement and description on our website.
Thank you all for making these six years so enjoyable and enriching. I’m sure I will cross paths with many of you again, and I look forward to continuing the relationships I have developed while at IDEX. I encourage you to continue your involvement and support of IDEX’s work.
All the best,
Pete Stanga

Pete, I just saw the ED vacancy announcement on Grantmakers without Borders, and am saddened to see your announcement. I'm sure you will be doing great things after IDEX, but you were there when GlobalGiving was just getting off the ground, and one of our staunchest early supporters. It will be hard for me to see you go ...
