At the heart of 2027 is a paid 12-month job at a leading foundation, trust or social investment organisation. 

In your new job in grant-making, you could be managing part of your organisation’s grant portfolio and working to find fantastic community partners for your host organisation to work with and provide funding for their projects. You’ll be keeping the trustee board updated on the foundation’s portfolio, and could even be making funding recommendations. You could be working with your foundation’s funder, to inspire their employees about the foundation’s work to fund community projects and partners.

You will also be responsible for ensuring the foundation meets all relevant legislative and compliance requirements and will represent the foundation externally and apply learning from outside to your work at the foundation. Each job is slightly different and we’ll work with you to ensure a good fit for your development.

You’ll benefit from:

• A 12 month job at a leading foundation or trust across the UK, where associates will earn a minimum salary of £25,000.
• Direct experience in grant-making with a leading foundation or trust
• An acclaimed Development Programme where Associates will attend masterclasses and residentials, receive coaching and mentoring and connect with alumni and experts throughout the sector.
