Grants Manager

Localgiving is seeking a new team member - a full-time role, based in the South of Scotland, focused on launching new grant programmes, specifically Grassroots funding (microgrants up to £20k). The deadline is 12noon on 12th October. Localgiving is delivering Community Benefit Funds in partnership with SP Energy Networks. Grants will be offered for 5+ years to areas hosting energy upgrade projects and are an exciting opportunity for communities to receive large boosts in funding. Localgiving is an experienced grant distributor, as well as an online fundraising platform that offers fundraising support and AI tools for charitable organisations across the UK. We have been leading a pilot grant programme with SP Energy Networks across late 2025-summer 2026, focused on Grassroots funding. This has significantly built our local knowledge of the communities involved. Our established relationship with the funder ensures that we are ready to hit the ground running with these new grant programmes.  The roles will be supported by a very experienced team across the UK, who work closely together across numerous projects. Localgiving is a highly flexible employer that values hardworking individuals. Colleagues will semi-regularly travel to meet in-person in Scotland, as well as fully involving new staff in team days in other areas of the UK, such as central London. Localgiving's Regional Development Manager, Lauren Swain will be leading the partnership with SP Energy Networks and fully supporting new staff in their work.
