Are you passionate about preserving the world’s forests and ecosystems, fighting climate change and building resilient communities?

RAIN (Regenerative Agroforestry Impact Network), a non-profit supporting community-led reforestation and ecosystem restoration projects in the UK and Brazil, are seeking a volunteer to assist them with grant writing and fundraising through foundations, trusts and other grant-making bodies.

What you’ll be doing:

• Identify appropriate sources of funding
• Prepare and write detailed, accurate and inspiring grant funding applications and bids
• Develop and coordinate a fundraising database to ensure an ongoing flow of proposals
• Create a calendar of grant deadlines and track submitted funding proposals
• Review and write up any grant/bid feedback for future applications

About You:

• Ideally you’ll have experience of grants and bid writing, however a willingness to learn and the ability to be creative and use initiative is more important.
• An interest and ability to write about environmental topics would be advantageous
• Open to working collaboratively with others in the team and also be comfortable working autonomously on tasks
• Comfortable with multitasking and managing deadlines

The volunteer role is remote and flexible, but they ask for a commitment of 4 or more hours a week for a minimum of 2 months, so that you’re able to follow through with applications.

To apply, please email your CV to Kate MacKenzie – admin@rainumbrella.org.

Closing date: 6 May 2022
