The East End of London has experienced exceptional economic growth, but unfortunately the immense wealth and opportunity in places like Canary Wharf and the City continues to sit alongside some of the most deprived parts of the country. Through our grant-making programmes across Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham and the City of London we aim to address poverty and tackle inequality. In 2025/26 we distributed over £1.4m in grants, and we intend to increase our grant making year on year to provide greater and longer-term support so we can continue to make a difference to the lives of local people by supporting vital community-based projects.
EECF is at the forefront of place-based giving with our Life Chances campaign bringing together stakeholders across voluntary, commercial, and statutory sectors to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our society – children and young people and pensioners. Our Youth Advisory group places decision-making in the hands of local young people, and we aim to increase our participatory grant making over the coming year, engaging a wider group of residents. In 2026, we will be launching new funds supporting women and girls’ initiatives, young care leavers, and tackling digital inequality.
We are looking for a committed individual with knowledge of the local area to join the Grants and Programmes Team. The Grants and Projects administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting the successful distribution of grants to voluntary and community sector groups and our events convening residents, donors and grantholders.
The ideal candidate will be highly efficient with experience of working in a busy environment, have excellent customer service and IT skills combined with a proactive, problem-solving approach.

East End Community Foundation (EECF) is an innovative, fast-paced and growing grant-making foundation, working with donors and coordinating charitable giving to ensure donations reach those who need it most.
The East End of London has experienced exceptional economic growth, but unfortunately the immense wealth and opportunity in places like Canary Wharf and the City continues to sit alongside some of the most deprived parts of the country. Through our grant-making programmes across Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Newham and the City of London we aim to address poverty and tackle inequality. In 2025/26 we distributed over £1.4m in grants, and we intend to increase our grant making year on year to provide greater and longer-term support so we can continue to make a difference to the lives of local people by supporting vital community-based projects.
EECF is at the forefront of place-based giving with our Life Chances campaign bringing together stakeholders across voluntary, commercial, and statutory sectors to improve the lives of the most vulnerable in our society – children and young people and pensioners. Our Youth Advisory group places decision-making in the hands of local young people, and we aim to increase our participatory grant making over the coming year, engaging a wider group of residents. In 2026, we will be launching new funds supporting women and girls’ initiatives, young care leavers, and tackling digital inequality.
We are looking for a committed individual with knowledge of the local area to join the Grants and Programmes Team. The Grants and Projects administrator plays a pivotal role in supporting the successful distribution of grants to voluntary and community sector groups and our events convening residents, donors and grantholders.
The ideal candidate will be highly efficient with experience of working in a busy environment, have excellent customer service and IT skills combined with a proactive, problem-solving approach. No previous grant-making experience is required, and full training in our systems and database will be provided. You will be joining a small, committed team and undertaking a wide variety of tasks. You should be a team player with energy and enthusiasm as well as an understanding and passion for the local community.
