Fundraiser / Grant Writer - Volunteer
HELP US FUND THE LAUNCH.
JOIN URBAN YOUTH AS A FUNDRAISER / GRANT WRITER
- We've got the vision.
- We've got the people.
- We've got the energy.
Now we need the FUNDING to make it happen.
URBAN YOUTH is building a new, volunteer-powered youth work charity taking youth work out of the building and into the city.
But before we can get out there, we need to raise our SEED FUNDING.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COME IN.
We're looking for a brilliant Fundraiser / Grant Writer to help us find the money, build relationships and turn our plans into funded projects.
- Research funding opportunities
- Write compelling grant applications
- Identify trusts, foundations & community funders
- Develop relationships with potential supporters
- Explore corporate partnerships & sponsorship
- Support fundraising campaigns
- Help us develop new fundraising ideas
- Help build Urban Youth's first sustainable funding pipeline
WHAT ARE WE RAISING MONEY FOR?
The practical stuff that gets Urban Youth OFF THE GROUND.
- Volunteer expenses
- DBS / safeguarding checks
- Volunteer travel costs
- Laptops & mobile phones
- Creative materials & resources
- Youth programme equipment
- Refreshments
- Insurance
- Digital & communications costs
- Venues & spaces
…and everything else we need to start delivering great youth work.
Every £ matters.
Because every £ helps us get closer to opening the doors — wherever those doors happen to be.
YOU MIGHT BE...
- An experienced grant writer
- A fundraiser
- A trust & foundation specialist
- A bid writer
- A corporate fundraiser
- Someone who knows how to find funding
- Or someone who simply knows how to tell a great story and persuade people to get behind it.
You don't need to have worked for a big charity.
You just need to know how to turn an idea into a compelling case for support.
- A FEW HOURS A WEEK / MONTH
- FLEXIBLE AROUND YOUR LIFE
- BUILD SOMETHING FROM DAY ONE
