Charity People are thrilled to announce we are working with The Funding Network to find a Partnerships Manager - a truly wonderful charity that builds connections that change the world. This unique role is central to a new era unfolding at The Funding Network, and will prioritise managing existing donors and building a thriving new network to increase impact for the organisations they support.
Their work is incredibly unique in the sector. The Funding Network are pioneering a model of engaged and collaborative philanthropy that bridges the divide between the most privileged members of society and the most marginalised. They facilitate real change for small charities, allowing them to grow, build their own new network of funders, develop their own infrastructure, increase support and ultimately increase their social impact.
The main facilitation is crowd funding events at which small charities pitch for funds and other forms of support. Events are hosted on a pro bono basis, and have been described as part TED Talk, part Dragons Den and part live auction. On any given evening, an audience might have the opportunity to support children impacted by parental imprisonment, families affected by knife crime, and asylum seekers facing homelessness. Audiences leave feeling inspired and uplifted by the people they've met, the work they have learned about and the difference they've made.
