Job description

The Senior Fundraising & Grants Manager will lead the development and delivery of Bite Back's fundraising strategy with a primary focus on trusts, foundations and institutional grants. You’ll oversee the organisation’s grants pipeline, coordinate funding applications and reports, and ensure excellent standards of funder stewardship and compliance. You’ll also play a role in developing early-stage public fundraising activities to diversify income and support the long-term sustainability of Bite Back’s youth-led mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Senior Fundraising and Grants Manager is accountable for:

Fundraising Strategy & Planning

  • Design, deliver and monitor a values-aligned fundraising strategy, with a primary focus on trusts and foundations.

  • Set annual income targets, track progress against goals, and report performance to senior leadership and trustees.

  • Identify new income opportunities to support Bite Back’s strategic growth and impact.

  • Develop and maintain a 12–24 month grant pipeline to forecast income and manage funding cycles.

  • Ensure all fundraising activity complies with the Code of Fundraising Practice, GDPR, and Bite Back’s ethical standards.

Grants from Trusts and Foundations

  • Lead the processes for securing income from trusts, foundations and institutional funders, from prospect research through to submission, reporting and renewal.

  • Research, identify and prioritise funding opportunities aligned with Bite Back’s youth-led mission and programmes. Collaborate with internal teams to conduct due diligence to ensure funding sources are aligned with our values.

  • Prepare and submit high-quality, evidence-led, and compelling grant proposals in collaboration with the CEO, Director of Finance & Operations, Monitoring & Evaluation Manager, and programme leads.

  • Coordinate grant management and tracking: maintain accurate records of deadlines, deliverables, and reporting requirements.

  • Work with the finance team to develop accurate project budgets and ensure financial reporting meets funder expectations and our operational needs.

  • Produce and submit clear, engaging progress reports to funders that highlight impact, learning, and youth voices.

  • Monitor grant income and expenditure, ensuring compliance and timely claims against restricted funding.

  • Work with the Operations and Contracts Manager and the Monitoring and Evaluation Manager to develop and improve systems for grant tracking and data integrity within the CRM (Salesforce).

Donor Stewardship and Relationship Management

  • Work closely with the CEO to build and maintain strong relationships with existing and potential funders, ensuring high-quality engagement and stewardship.

  • Coordinate communications, updates, and thank-you processes for donors to encourage repeat and multi-year funding.

  • Lead workstreams, working closely with the Brand Manager and leadership team for support, in order to deliver meetings, presentations, and reports to funders.

  • Represent Bite Back at relevant events, funder briefings, and networking opportunities.

  • Promote a culture of fundraising awareness and collaboration across the organisation.

Fundraising Development

  • Work with the Communications and Operations teams to explore and pilot small-scale public fundraising initiatives (e.g. individual giving, online campaigns, web donation tool).

  • Work with the CEO and Communications team to develop a new strategy to build a strong and committed donor network of high net worth individuals aligned with Bite Back’s values

  • Develop systems, messaging, and supporter journeys that reflect Bite Back’s youth-led identity.

  • Explore opportunities for revenue from the public sector.

  • Test new public fundraising channels and evaluate their return on investment to inform future strategy.

Other

  • Champion Bite Back’s values - Fresh, Resilient, Respectful, Energetic, and Real - in all fundraising work.

  • Collaborate with the youth activism, communications, and policy teams to translate programme outcomes into fundable opportunities and compelling narratives.

  • Stay informed about trends in the fundraising and grant-making sectors and share learning across the team.
