Are you dedicated to local, national or international development and giving aid to those who most need it? Do you want to make a difference in social economics? If so, you\u2019ll be a great fit for a career in grantmaking in the charity sector. This is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding job paths you'll ever consider. It inspires people to do good and motivates the desire for real change around you.\r\n\r\nThose who are outward-looking, passionate about people, especially the vulnerable or the marginalised, or who are community, people or international development-orientated could find this a rewarding career path to explore.\r\n\r\nIf you want to do something tangible with your life without focusing on profit-making, then the benefits of grantmaking will go further than your salary and your immediate environment. You\u2019ll be reaching far and wide with grassroots end users who will benefit, directly or indirectly, from your generosity. You could be positively affecting a generation of lives for decades to come. The role will also boost your professional and personal development, as you\u2019ll gain lots of new knowledge and skills.

However, you\u2019ll need a minimum education level of GCSEs for entry-level roles. Another option is to start as a personal or executive assistant in your areas of interest in the sector. And some good volunteering experience in the third sector is always a bonus, as your exposure to various aspects of charities will keep you grounded in a grantmaking position, enable your personal development and help you progress quickly on the job.\r\n\r\nMost of the mid-level to senior management level roles require experience in the charity sector and expert skills. However, passion and an aptitude for fundraising will really help. Many grantmaking organisations love people with the skills to raise funds for their work and are always looking for fundraisers. You can also get entry-level to mid-senior management roles with a Master's degree in the relevant area.\r\n\r\nHowever, you can also use your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charityjob.co.uk\/careeradvice\/transferable-skills-you-didnt-know-you-had\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transferable skills<\/a> from other job roles.
