Grants Manager at The Schroder Foundation, managing £3m+ and 150+ grants across three family foundations.

United Kingdom
Message

At The Schroder Foundation, I manage a portfolio across three family foundations, administering £3m+ and 150+ grants across multiple programmes. I assess applications, budgets and financial documents, and undertake due diligence and risk assessments to inform trustee funding decisions.

I relaunched the Schroder Charity Trust open grants programme by redesigning its application forms, assessment processes and internal workflows. I also developed the Environment & Conservation programme, identifying new grantees and opportunities in the toxics and pollution sector.

Previously, at the European Climate Foundation, I managed the full grant lifecycle for regranting to climate communication organisations globally and administered a rapid response fund. At the Forestry Commission, I administered a government woodland creation grant scheme and recruited, trained and managed five Administrative Officers.
