The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award supports young people on their journey of self-development, helping them discover their strengths, passions, and roles in their communities. For nearly seventy years, the Award has empowered young people to transform their lives and contribute to society. In 1998, the International Award Foundation and Association were established to lead the Award internationally.
Globally, more than a million young people across 120+ countries and territories are taking on the Award’s challenge, unlocking their potential, creating meaningful change in their communities, and shaping their futures. The Association works to ensure even more young people worldwide can embrace the Award’s transformative challenge. The Foundation provides the resources and support needed to achieve this shared mission.
Under new leadership, the Foundation is embarking on an ambitious strategic plan to expand global participation. The Development team at the Foundation secures vital funds to drive this agenda, and the Fundraising Manager - Strategic Projects plays a key role in advancing this mission by unlocking opportunities from underrepresented sources, including grant-making organisations, as well as unlocking corporate donors through our network of senior volunteers.
In this role, you will lead efforts to research and craft high-quality funding applications while building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders. Your ability to combine exceptional research with compelling written communication will be essential in securing support for the Foundation’s vision. Proven experience in successful bid-writing and a strong understanding of the international funding landscape are critical. Working collaboratively with colleagues across continents and cultures, you will excel at building meaningful relationships rooted in empathy, understanding, and mutual respect.
