Growth potential (optional, over time)
-
Identify efficiencies and gaps in the current grants pipeline

Team: Fundraising Team
Start: As soon as you are available
Type: Volunteer
About the role
We are looking for a friendly, organised, and committed volunteer to support our Fundraising Team by prospecting grant opportunities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys research, reading funder guidelines, and working with data.
You will take the lead in helping us make smart use of our time by identifying which grants in our existing database are the best match for our work and where we are most likely to be eligible.
This is a prospecting management role only. You will not be asked to write grant applications.
What you will do
- Work through a complex Excel-based grants database and assess opportunities against our charity’s aims and activities
- Read funder criteria, eligibility rules, and guidance notes to decide whether a grant is a good fit and discuss it with our Fundraising Coordinator.
- Shortlist suitable grants and record your findings clearly in the spreadsheet (notes, deadlines, key requirements)
- Flag any missing information and help keep the grants Pipeline tidy and consistent
- Share weekly or fortnightly updates with the Fundraising Team
- Guide the Fundraising Team to understand which opportunities must be prioritised
What we are looking for
Essential
- Excellent Excel skills (confident using filters, sorting, data validation, working and finding data in structured and complex spreadsheets)
- Strong attention to detail and an analytical mindset
- Enjoys research and reading specifications carefully
- Able to make clear, evidence-based judgements about eligibility and fit
- Reliable and able to commit 3 to 4 hours per week on an ongoing basis
- Good written communication for concise spreadsheet notes and updates
Desirable
- Experience in charity fundraising, grant research, or prospecting
- Comfortable working independently and meeting agreed deadlines
- Interest in our mission and values
Support you will receive
- A short onboarding session and clear guidance on our criteria and process
- A named contact in the Fundraising Team for questions and check-ins
- Templates for consistent data entry and decision-making
- References available after an agreed period of consistent volunteering
Eligibility
Because this role involves supporting a UK charity and working with our internal systems and processes, we can only accept applications from people who are currently based in the UK and have the right to volunteer in the UK. Unfortunately, we are not able to consider applicants living outside the UK at this time.
Time commitment and expectations
We value flexibility, but we also need continuity. We are looking for someone who can make a regular weekly commitment and communicate clearly if they need to change their availability.
How to apply
Please send:
- A short statement (cover letter) explaining why you are interested and your relevant skills
- A brief summary of your Excel experience (examples welcomed)
Closing date: We may interview suitable candidates as applications come in.
Thank you for looking at our oppotunitiy. We are looking forward to hearing from you.
