About Future Frontiers 

Household income is still one of the strongest predictors of a young person’s future opportunities and earning potential in the UK. Future Frontiers exists to level the playing field. We equip under-resourced young people with the knowledge, skills, confidence and connections they need to broaden their horizons and take positive steps towards their futures.

In partnership with schools and businesses across Greater London, we deliver programmes of personalised careers coaching, skills development and exposure to professional role models for young people from low-income families. This year, we are supporting around 2,500 young people through our programmes. You can find out more about our work and impact in the Annual Impact Report on our website.

About the role 

We’re looking for an experienced Philanthropy Manager to join our small, ambitious team and help secure the funding that makes our work possible.

Our Philanthropy team builds meaningful relationships with supporters, particularly charitable trusts and foundations, to secure a significant proportion of Future Frontiers’ income. We have a strong case for support, a track record of securing trusts and foundations funding, and an exciting pipeline of opportunities. We’re now looking to build on this success as we continue to grow our philanthropy income. 

Reporting to the Head of Philanthropy, you’ll identify prospective funders, manage relationships with charitable trusts and foundations, and craft compelling funding proposals and reports that bring our impact to life. 

This role requires exceptional writing skills, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to communicate information clearly, accurately and persuasively. You’ll need to be highly organised, proactive and confident managing multiple deadlines, while producing consistently high-quality work.

We’re looking for someone with strong trusts and foundations fundraising experience who can combine outstanding written communication with excellent relationship-building skills.

Your responsibilities:

Write funding applications and reports 

You’ll lead on developing high-quality funding applications, reports and proposals for charitable trusts and foundations that make a compelling case for support and bring our impact to life.

This will include translating complex programme and impact information into clear, engaging and persuasive written communications tailored to each funder’s interests and priorities.

Exceptional writing skills and meticulous attention to detail are essential. You’ll ensure all applications and reports are accurate, well-structured, tailored and submitted to a consistently high standard.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to gather information, outcomes and stories that reflect the impact of our programmes.

Manage relationships with trusts and foundations

You’ll help build and manage strong relationships with charitable trusts and foundations through thoughtful stewardship, high-quality communications and proactive engagement.

With support from the Head of Philanthropy, you’ll identify opportunities to secure renewed and increased support, helping grow long-term partnerships with funders.

You’ll also act as an ambassador for Future Frontiers, creating opportunities for supporters to engage more deeply with our work.

Identify new funding opportunities 

You’ll proactively identify charitable trusts and foundations with the potential to support Future Frontiers. Through research and collaboration with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll help build a strong pipeline of prospective funders and develop tailored approaches for engagement.

Gather case studies and impact stories

You’ll help collect pupil case studies and testimonials that bring the impact of our programmes to life.

This may include attending programme sessions, speaking directly with young people and helping them feel comfortable sharing their experiences. Strong communication skills, sensitivity and the ability to build rapport with young people will therefore be important in this role.

Support wider voluntary income and engagement opportunities

You’ll work with colleagues across the organisation to support wider voluntary income and engagement opportunities where appropriate. This could include supporter engagement activity, charitable giving from businesses and other opportunities that help grow Future Frontiers’ network and income.

Keep accurate and detailed records 

You’ll ensure all philanthropy activity is recorded promptly and accurately, helping us manage relationships, reporting deadlines and fundraising activity effectively. You’ll support the team’s efficiency by keeping organised records and helping manage key administrative processes.

You’ll also ensure we meet data protection and fundraising regulations, including GDPR and the Code of Fundraising Practice.

Contribute to wider organisational priorities 

You’ll be a collaborative team member, supporting cross-team projects and organisation-wide initiatives as needed. From time to time, you may also be asked to take on other duties in line with your role.

We also provide volunteering resource, and advice and guidance on best practice in volunteer management, to hundreds of charities and community organisations.

Through our specialist programmes, our impact on the lives of residents is huge. We match volunteers to housebound residents to help them engage with communities and leave their homes; we provide long term personalised support to people with mental health conditions and learning disabilities to help them volunteer and find paid jobs; we support patients to deliver hundreds of their own activities and peer support groups at GP practices across City and Hackney; and in partnership with Public Health, we support over 250 Community Health Champions to share vital health messaging with their own diverse communities.  

This is a hands-on and strategic role for an experienced fundraiser who thrives in a small to medium sized charity environment. You will have autonomy to develop a whole new fundraising strategy, utilise diverse fundraising methods, and build and develop new project ideas and partnerships. You will lead on income generation primarily through sourcing and applying to trusts and foundations, and with the potential to build new corporate partnerships, community campaigns and individual giving. You will build authentic relationships with funders and supporters, and together with VCH colleagues, will identify new programme models as ways to generate income. You will contribute to the development and production of compelling stories, evidence and marketing and build and maintain the infrastructure needed to track and achieve progress against annual income targets.

Post holders need to have excellent communication skills, to represent the charity in writing and in person. You must be enthusiastic, self-motivating and confident to work primarily alone, but also able to engage and collaborate with staff from across the organisation to share information and impact evidence to support your role. If you are successful in securing funding there will be the potential to recruit additional support, and for you to become the Head of Fundraising of a small team.
