Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes. We work closely with JPAL who have run a number of RCTs on our work, and it was also recomended as just one of three smart buys by the What Works Hub for Global Education.
We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We now raise £1.5m a year and are ambitious to at least triple again.
While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income. We have recently launched Pratham International, and we will work with them to reach more children worldwide in the years ahead.
The Senior Grants Manager is a key strategic role focused on securing large grants for Pratham’s flagship Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program and vocational training work in India, while also supporting Pratham International’s expanding global initiatives.
You will play a vital role in building meaningful relationships with institutional donors, trusts, and foundations across the UK and Europe. With a strong evidence base underpinning our programs and global recognition of Pratham’s impact, this role offers significant scope for both growth and influence.
