The Vacancy

Saferworld’s funding base has grown significantly over the last few years, with the majority of funds coming from institutional donors, including the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the US Government/USAID, the European Union (EU), and other European Governments, such as the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the Netherlands Ministry for Foreign Affairs (MFA) and grants coming from few foundations/philanthropic institutions. This role will support the organisation’s work towards growing, sustaining and diversifying its funding base across different income streams (trusts and foundations, commercial income, individual and major gifts donors) through researching and identifying new funding opportunities, supporting with drafting proposals, alongside maintaining and improving systems to capture critical funding information that supports our planning and budgeting processes.

  • Ensuring that relevant colleagues across the organisation are aware of new and upcoming funding opportunities;  
  • Managing, keeping information up to date, and refining effective systems to record, track and analyse organisational funding activity and performance;  
  • Providing support to fundraising efforts by contributing to drafting proposals including filing and collecting relevant documents, fulfilling due diligence requirements, drafting donor mappings, and supporting co-design processes, and recruitment and retaining of new individual and major gifts donors.
