Trustee

We’re looking for new Trustees!

If you care about Bradford and are keen to see its communities thrive, we need people like you to join our Board and would love to talk to you!​

About Bradford District Community Foundation / GiveBradford

As an independent grant maker, Bradford District Community Foundation / GiveBradford is the place for giving in Bradford. Working collaboratively with leaders, community organisations and donors, we’re strengthening the future of our communities, building a fairer Bradford for everyone. Since 2017, we’ve given out £6.5m in grants, supporting hundreds of locally-rooted community organisations and creating meaningful social impact for thousands of people.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for 1-3 new Trustees to strengthen the board of Bradford District Community Foundation. You’ll join a friendly, diverse and effective team of Trustees and staff, and work to take the charity forward with your experience, skills, passion and commitment.

A recent skills analysis has identified gaps in certain areas, leading us to prioritise the following:​

>       Someone with a strong background in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)​

>       A local business owner with strong local business connections​

>       A marketing professional, ideally with strong experience in a fundraising environment​

>       Someone with excellent financial skills, preferably with  knowledge of charity finance​

Our aim is for our Trustee Board to represent the diverse communities we work with. Following a recent Trustee diversity survey, we would particularly welcome applications from women, trans and non-binary people, people under 40 years of age and disabled people, as these groups are currently under-represented on our Board.

We are proud to partner with Pears Foundation. Without their generous contribution, it would not be possible to support local communities in the way we do or to build for the long-term.  We are grateful for their support with maintaining effective governance and leadership.
