The Good Food Institute Europe (GFI Europe) is looking for a Foundations Manager to build and sustain relationships with philanthropic foundations in support of GFI’s global work to create a more ethical and sustainable food system. If you’re excited about working with philanthropic foundations to help protect people, animals and the planet, we’d love to hear from you

GFI is at the forefront of the movement to advance plant-based and cultivated (grown from cells) meat in order to solve some of the world’s biggest problems, from climate change and global hunger, to antibiotic resistance and animal suffering.

Reporting to our Head of Development, you will be responsible for developing and implementing a strategy to build GFI’s philanthropic income from foundations in Europe. This will include identifying the most promising prospects for GFI in Europe, building strong long-term relationships with a portfolio of philanthropic foundations across Europe to acquire, retain and upgrade their support, and crafting and presenting creative funding proposals and strong grant applications.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

• A passion for our philosophy and mission.
• A proven track record of cultivating relationships with foundations or other funding institutions, and securing significant gifts.
• The ability to see the big picture, and to envisage an ambitious goal and illuminate a path for achieving it.
• The ability to persuasively make the case for support for GFI and to represent GFI Europe to our stakeholders, both verbally and in writing.
• Self-motivation, a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes.
• Comfort using a CRM database to record and track interactions with donors and prospects, and attention to detail in ensuring the accuracy of information.
