Job description

First Give

First Give is a national charity that partners with secondary schools to inspire and equip young people with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to drive change. Through our structured programmes, students explore social issues, connect with charities, and take tangible steps to improve their community.

Empowering and equipping young people to meaningfully contribute to their community is a first step to addressing many of the challenges we face at this time of social disconnection and division. Our vision is of a more generous society where everyone is willing and able to give their time, money and skills to the causes they care about.

Trusts and Foundations Manager

We are seeking a dynamic, strategic and relationship-driven Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead on growing and stewarding First Give’s portfolio of high-value funders. This role will focus on securing income from Trusts and Foundations from first engagement to account management, delivery and reporting. 

First Give is a small charity, with a growing fundraising team and big ambitions. You will therefore be someone who thrives in a start-up environment, willing to try new things. We are looking for an exceptional writer, someone who can translate the impact of our work into proposals that inspire and motivate the reader to give.

You will play a pivotal role in shaping First Give’s income growth, working closely with our Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships and the Director to manage relationships with existing donors, and leading on the development of high value bids to expand our work. This role will also support key engagement activities, including hosting donors at student-led Final events and facilitating employee volunteering at schools.

This is an exciting opportunity for a confident communicator and grant fundraiser with experience managing and deepening relationships with high value trusts and foundations gifts – someone who thrives on storytelling and social impact. We currently have a strong pipeline of trusts and foundations and are looking for someone eager to write applications and secure funding.

Contract: Full-time, 35 hours per week; core hours - 10am till 4pm

Location: We have office space at the Pears Hub in West Hampstead, where some people come in one or two times a week, we're very flexible. 

Key Responsibilities

Planning, Pipeline and applications

· Lead the development of First Give’s annual trusts & foundations plan, securing mid to large multi-year grants towards £750,000+ income.

· Build and maintain a strategic, insight-led pipeline of aligned funders.

· Develop a strong understanding of programme costs, ensuring accurate, meaningful budgets in all applications.

· Lead the development and writing of high-quality, compelling bids and expressions of interest, working collaboratively to ensure strong, evidence-based submissions.

· Write and submit strong applications to funders

Donor Engagement, stewardship and reporting

· Manage and steward relationships with our portfolio of trusts and foundations, including timely reporting, thanking, and ongoing tailored updates.

· Work across the First Give team to ensure accurate, detailed and meaningful reports are submitted to donors in a timely manner.

· Host prospective and current donors at First Give Final events, acting as an ambassador for the charity and facilitating meaningful engagement.

· Collaborate with members of First Gives Fundraising Campaign Board to generate and support with requests of support to Trusts and Foundations, especially ‘invite only’.

· Ensure accurate record-keeping, pipeline management and reporting in our CRM (Salesforce).

· Ensure compliance with GDPR and all relevant fundraising regulations.

Other

· Support junior staff to complete prospect research, develop bids, and write reports for trusts and foundations where needed.

· Build productive relationships with external fundraising consultants when used.

· Support stewardship and cultivation events (e.g. business breakfasts, drinks receptions etc…) for donors.

· Submit quarterly reports for presentation to the Board of Trustees

The job description gives an outline of key duties and is not intended to be an exhaustive list. The post holder may be asked to take on other relevant responsibilities as reasonably requested by their line manager.

· Experience managing and deepening relationships with high‑value funders, including reporting and stewardship.

· Strong understanding of budgets, restricted funding and presenting financial information in applications.

The students we work with come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and so do we. We want to ensure that we are recruiting, retaining and promoting a diverse mix of colleagues.

We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates from minoritised groups currently underrepresented on our executive team, particularly black and minority ethnic and disabled candidates.
