Are you passionate about forging a career that helps communities through grant-giving? Do you have lived experience of being working-class and working in the community? Are you looking to develop a career with more influence on enacting change? You may like to consider applying for 2027.
What is 2027?
At the heart of 2027 is a paid 12-month job at a leading foundation, trust or social investment organisation. A foundation or trust is a grant-making organisation, a charity that provides funding to give to other individuals or organisations, to enable them to run projects that positively impact the community. A Social Investment Organisation provides repayable funds to charities and enterprises with a social purpose to create long-lasting change.
As part of the programme, you’ll be employed full time in a grant-making or related role, with one of the dynamic host Foundations, Trust or Social Investment organisations across the UK. You’ll deliver brilliant work to improve the communities they serve whilst receiving a salary over the year of up to £25,000.
Alongside your placement, you will take part in an acclaimed development programme, through which you will work with each other and partner organisations, on your own development and leadership in the context of the grant-making sector. The programme focuses on the self, the sector and community. It is designed to support you not only to translate all your experience and ability into performing in your new job, but also to help you understand, explore and ultimately be part of changing the funding sector.
This blend of training, networking and on-the-job experience will mean that, at the end of the 12-month programme you will have the experience and skills you need to prepare for a decision-making position in a foundation or trust to influence real change in communities.
