Turning ambitious projects into funding, partnerships & paid opportunities
NGO Set&Setting · Remote-friendly · ~20 hrs
We have the projects. Now we want to put serious resources behind them. SET & SETTING is an international foundation started in Poland building an interconnected ecosystem across bold moves, actual culture, alternative youth, health, education, human rights, sustainability, social innovation, art and entrepreneurship. We are looking for someone sharp to work directly with the founder on one concrete challenge: turning what we have already built into funding, strategic partnerships and paid opportunities. This can include researching and qualifying funders, sponsors, corporate and institutional partners; identifying organisations that could commission our services, workshops or projects; finding international opportunities and unconventional routes to resources; preparing approaches and partnership propositions; and helping promising opportunities move from “interesting” to an actual conversation, proposal or deal. I (the founder) am at a stage where plenty of rooms want my presence, but not many actually qualify, and I need assistance assessing it. We are not starting from an idea on paper. SET & SETTING has already delivered funded work, developed a brilliant youth initiative, built cultural and creative projects, and piloted a socially driven consumer product with the public. We now expand the network and capital around this work. We do not need a giant spreadsheet of random contacts. We need intelligent qualification: Who genuinely fits? What can we offer each other? Who controls the resource we need? What is the best route in? What would make them say yes? This is a chance to work on real fundraising and business development, with real organisations, opportunities, decisions and outcomes. You will work directly with the founder, see how opportunities are assessed, and have meaningful work you can point to afterwards. Successful collaboration can be recognised with a reference. You do not need decades of fundraising experience. You do need curiosity, initiative, excellent research judgement, clear communication and the confidence to think commercially. The objective is simple: find the right doors and and let’s open them together.
