Foundation grant success as much about relationship building as it is about great writing. We believe organisational development must happen prior to approaching grant funding sources!
What difference will you make?
Everyone is a potential fundraiser and Qisetna's team tells the story through its volunteers, trustees, partners, community and staff. We have the power to change the world! Yet an idea is powerless if it is not developed into a project.
What are we looking for?
Are you an enthusiastic and committed individual looking to join a small but ambitious team to help gain new funding opportunities for a community and living heritage-led collective?
Are you passionate about international human rights, justice and equality, in addition to Diversity and Inclusion for all, irrespective of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality etc.?
