Opportunity Fund – Backing bold ideas and building a stronger sector.

They’re using this fund to back bold thinking early. That includes new ideas, pilot projects and untested approaches. They’ll also support promising work that’s ready to grow or respond to urgent needs. Some of the best ideas start small, and need backing before they’re proven.

• Strengthen leadership and skills across the sector by investing in tools, training, networks and collaboration
• Support inclusion by backing leaders from underrepresented communities and helping organisations diversify how they are led

This fund is also part of how the charity will support the long-term strength of the voluntary and community sector. It gives them space to respond quickly, test new approaches and back the people shaping the future of social change.

The Role

The Opportunity Fund Partnership Development Manager plays a central role in supporting funding opportunities aligned with the objectives of the Opportunity Fund. This role combines relationship-building and programme development to ensure the Opportunity Fund achieves the maximum impact.
