At the Youth Sport Trust we’re driving change. As the leading youth sport children’s charity we’re impacting on the way sport is used to improve the lives of millions of young people. We are an ambitious charity with a clear vision for growth and a strong sense of values. Now is an exciting time for an experienced Grants Manager to identify and scope new innovative projects and obtain funding from Trusts and Foundations, Big Lottery and Government bodies at national, regional and local level.
As Trusts and Foundations Grants Manager you will be responsible for generating income via funding applications to grant making trusts and foundations and institutional donors such as governmental departments and commissioning bodies to fund a pipeline of projects aligned to our mission and strategy. You will monitor public funding streams as they are announced and identify those which are relevant for the Youth Sport Trust projects, prepare high quality funding applications and presentations and ensure the charity secures the maximum grant level applicable. You should be able to identify grant making trusts and foundations with an interest in education, young people, disability and sport and develop and build positive ongoing relationships to maximize the possibility of repeat grants. You will keep funders informed on the work of the Youth Sport Trust and build relationships with current and potential funders and wider community groups or other charities who could partner with us. You will work with colleagues to identify priority work to support and develop a strong ‘Case for support’ with timescales and detailed budgets. Most importantly, you will provide leadership through positive behaviours, setting direction, establishing potential funding and grant submission pipelines, building morale and developing performance in individuals associated with the work you do.
A strategic thinker, you must have a proven track record of successful bid writing and implementation of successful fundraising initiatives and processes for a range of potential funders, including trusts and foundations, government, big lottery or other relevant sources which have secured funding. An inspiring influencer and skilled writer, you will be able to create and deliver innovative and persuasive presentations and proposals for a range of audiences. Most importantly, you will have an interest in young people, sport, physical activity and physical education and its benefits.
