Established in 2005, Suffolk Community Foundation (SCF) is a registered charity and part of a national family of 47 community foundations across the UK.

We are the largest independent grant maker to the voluntary sector in Suffolk, working closely with partners to increase understanding of need and raise funds to support local charities and community groups.

We work across Suffolk, raising awareness of the challenges for communities, typically in relation to poverty, health and well being, the environment and inequality.

We raise funds by building trusted relationships with a wide range of donors. They include philanthropic individuals, giving circles, companies and national and local charitable trusts.

Reporting to the Director of Philanthropy and Engagement, the Philanthropy Manager will be part of a small team dedicated to raising awareness, generating income and delivering a high standard of relationship management.
