About the role This is an exciting time to join us in this newly created role to raise income from trusts and foundations to support the development and growth of the RAF Association Group.

Creating short, medium and long-term activity plans, budgets and forecasts for trust and foundation fundraising. Monitoring the implementation of grants awarded to ensure compliance with grant terms and conditions. About you The role requires you to have previous success in funding and grant applications within either a charity, voluntary or membership organisation. With the ability to transform complex information into engaging and persuasive grant applications and high-quality cases for support, you will also understand the need for undertaking due diligence, risk assessment, reviewing grant agreements, and implementation monitoring and reporting. You will demonstrate excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels. You will need to be proficient in the use of CRM (we use Salesforce) to manage supporter relationships, and undertake research, performance analysis and reporting. Want to join us?
