The Organisation

Our client is a grant making charity, run predominantly by family Trustees. The focus of the charity to date has been about supporting disadvantaged young people (11 years old and above), education and the environment, particularly in relation to sustainability and regenerative agriculture.

The Role

• Identify and research proposed grantees including due diligence and meeting with leadership of potential grantees
• Write clear and concise proposals with sound analysis for Trustee consideration
• Make recommendations as to core vs. restricted or project funding
• Implement Trustee decisions, ensuring that grants are both processed efficiently and tracked and monitored as agreed
• Develop and maintain constructive relationships with grantees throughout the grant-making life-cycle - from application to monitoring progress, assessing progress reports and learning from grants made
• Review grantee reports and undertake periodic meetings/site visits throughout the grant period in the interest of developing positive relationships with grantees, monitoring progress and ensuring compliance with grant requirements
• Analyse the impact of grants and preparing papers for Trustees, as required.
• Ensure the Foundation’s grant-making database is kept up to date and accurate (via Excel) so that any point in time, the status of grants are known
• Keep the template agreement and other grant documents under review
• Organise Trustee meetings (at least every 6 months), prepare Trustee packs, attend meetings, follow up with clear and concise minutes and drive forward action points as identified and agreed with the Trustees

To be successful as a Grants Manager you will have:

• Previous grant making experience (ideally in one or more of the areas that the charity supports)
• Experience in charity research, writing research reports, monitoring grants and feeding back on progress to a Trustee board
• A good understanding of how to update a basic balance sheet/budget
• Strong IT skills including a good working knowledge of MS Office and Excel
• The ability to manage a varied workload in an organised manner
• An understanding the importance of discretion and privacy, as the charity tends to give on an anonymous basis, which is likely to continue

To apply simply submit your CV before Thursday 17th April 5pm and our recruitment partner (RP Connections) will be in touch.
