Job description

Our client is an independent registered charity driven by a mission to make philanthropy more convenient and efficient for their donors.

The organisation's clients are high / ultra-high net worth individuals with considerable assets dedicated to charitable giving. They often collaborate with private client advisors (lawyers, private bankers, wealth planners, accountants) to manage their wealth.

The organisation offers clients donor-advised funds (DAF) giving vehicles to individuals, family offices, and wealth managers. A donor-advised fund is a philanthropic fund established under an umbrella charity, such as a trust, which administers the funds on behalf of the donor.

Prospectus is delighted to be working with the trust to recruit a Grants Administration Analyst to join its busy and growing team based in the City of London.

Role Overview

This is an exciting moment to join the organisation at a time of significant growth. Our expanding Grants Team is building for scale, and in this role, you will contribute directly to our organisation's goal of making philanthropy more efficient for our donors. The Grants Team is dedicated to managing a large volume of grants with exceptional precision, making this role pivotal in facilitating transactional grantmaking, which is distinct from the conventional grantmaking approach.

The position will be part of the Grants Team and will also work closely with the Operations Team, the Donor Relations Team, and the Development Team on grant-related activities. The role will also involve working closely with US colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

• Grants Processing – supporting the Grants Team with the entire grantmaking process from grant recommendation (from the DAF donor) to grant payment (to the grantee).
• Grantmaking Compliance – ensuring grants made from the trust are compliant with UK and UK/US charitable grantmaking rules.
• Subject Matter Expertise – supporting the Grants Team to be subject matter experts, both internally and externally, on all aspects of grantmaking activity for the organisation and providing appropriate communication to other functions as necessary.
