Key Responsibilities:

• To give supporters a positive, consistent experience in all their interactions with the Charity, especially in response to enquiries, income handling and donor thanking.

• To ensure that supporter records on the CRM database are kept up to date, adding enquiry responses, donation correspondence and amending records where requested by either the supporter, members of the Fundraising & Communications team or wider charity colleagues.

Hope Health Action is a Christian NGO with the mission of empowering local communities to provide life-saving health and disability care for the world’s most vulnerable. We work in Haiti, South Sudan and Uganda, providing sustainable, long-term solutions to the stark health and disability inequalities that exist in these communities.

Haiti was where we first began our work, founding a hospital, which went on to become a 100 bed facility that treated over 35,000 patients every year. Our programmes also include a Wheelchair Distribution Centre, a respite home for children with disabilities, a spinal cord injury rehabilitation centre, and large-scale community health initiatives. We are now one of the leading healthcare providers in northern Haiti, with a national reputation and a wide network of local and international partners. 

Historically, most of our funding has come from UK and European trusts and foundations, and while we are keen to maintain and build on this, we are also keen to maximise the opportunities available to us as a US 501(c)(3) charity and expand our portfolio of US funders. We seek a skilled grant writer to help us navigate and access these opportunities, ensuring our projects receive the support needed to continue transforming lives. Your expertise will be crucial in helping us achieve our mission across new horizons.

You would be responsible for the following:

• Writing, managing and reporting for all Haiti focussed grants
• Developing and executing a strategy to maximse trust and grant income for our Haiti based projects
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with exisiting and new funders.

We are looking for someone with a strong record in winning and managing grants, who can advance our mission and ensure the sustainability of our programmes in Haiti. If you are passionate about making a difference and have the skills and experience we are looking for, we would love to hear from you.
