Job description (via Feedback)
ABOUT US
Feedback is a campaign group working for food that is good for people and planet. We want a world where:
- All people have secure access to delicious, culturally appropriate food that is nutritious and does not cause environmental harm
- Global supply chains, farming and fishing contribute to food sovereignty, good livelihoods, mitigate climate change and enable nature to thrive
- Communities have agency to create food economies that are inclusive, equitable, resilient and celebratory
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity for someone new to fundraising or with some experience to work for a friendly, ambitious organisation seeking to effect positive change in the world.
Working closely with the Executive Director of Feedback Global, as well as with other members of the senior team and the Executive Director of Feedback EU, the Grants Coordinator will research, maintain and coordinate raising funds for Feedback Global and Feedback EU, with a target of £3m yearly income across both organisations by the end of 2025.
The overwhelming majority of the funds raised will be from trusts and foundations, and so the role will primarily consist of researching new opportunities, building a robust pipeline of income generation opportunities, and working with the different teams to coordinate the writing and timely submission of compelling concept notes and applications. The postholder will also lead on reporting to funders and maintaining and developing these relationships.
The postholder will also be expected to contribute to other fundraising projects which might include digital fundraising development, direct marketing, and major donor fundraising, in partnership with the communications team and senior leadership team.
This will be a varied role within a fast-paced environment, therefore flexibility, strong organisation skills and a positive, can-do attitude are essential competencies of the successful candidate. Reporting directly to the Executive Directors, the role is integral to the success of the organisation and presents a real opportunity to help shape its future direction.
