About Us

Foundation Scotland puts people at the heart of its work. We rely on the expertise, trust and experience we’ve gained in the last 25 years working with communities, philanthropists and companies all over Scotland.

Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.

Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.

About the role

We are growing our team to accommodate new business and have an exciting opportunity for a well organised and motivated individual to join our Communities team to run a portfolio of community benefit funds across areas including Dumfries and Galloway, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and the Scottish Borders.

Our Communities Team works with communities across Scotland to devise and implement their own strategies for place-based funds coming from a range of sources, notably renewables businesses. We provide fund governance, grant administration and related services for a range of commercial and community-sector clients, combined with a commitment to community-led approaches. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on new challenges, and is passionate about making a meaningful difference for communities.

Reporting to a Community Funds Manager, you will bring experience in grant making, excellent interpersonal and facilitation skills, the ability to learn and adapt quickly and a strong understanding of community-led approaches.

Following the launch of our new strategy in 2025 and the continued expansion of our services for young people, we are investing further in our fundraising capacity through the recruitment of a new Community & Corporate Fundraiser Role. As an organisation, we have traditionally relied heavily on grants and trusts as our main source of income. While this will remain an important funding stream, we are now looking to diversify our income by increasing support from community fundraising, events, and corporate partnerships. At this important stage of growth, we are also keen to raise the profile and awareness of U-evolve and the impact of our work supporting young people’s mental health.

This is a new role, offering a real opportunity to shape and develop sustainable income streams, create meaningful fundraising opportunities, and make a tangible impact on the future of our services. Working alongside our Fundraising Lead — who focuses primarily on grants and trusts — you will play a key part in generating income through community fundraising initiatives, events, and corporate sponsorship. Responsibilities will include planning and managing a calendar of fundraising events, identifying opportunities to raise awareness of U-evolve within local communities, delivering talks and presentations to encourage support, and developing and managing sponsorship relationships.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about improving young people’s mental health and who genuinely connects with our mission and values. You will have:

• Experience in fundraising, ideally including community fundraising, events, or corporate partnerships
• Experience working directly with young people and/or within mental health or a related field or an understanding of the challenges young people face today.
• Experience in building networks or contacts that could support awareness-raising, partnerships or fundraising activity.
• Confidence in building relationships and representing U-evolve externally
• Excellent interpersonal skills with a friendly and approachable manner.

Above all, we are looking for someone who shares our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and who is excited by the opportunity to contribute to the growth and impact of our work.

North Glasgow Integration Network SCIO (NGIN) is currently seeking a new Treasurer. NGIN is governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees, who guide and oversee our organisation. Our board is made up of people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, with an interest in supporting asylum seekers & refugees and all New Scots in Glasgow,

The main aim of NGIN is to support asylum seekers and refugees who are accommodated in North/North East Glasgow communities. Led by the needs and interests of people accessing the service, NGIN connects people with services that will support them and hosts and promotes tailored events and opportunities. The charity works with people on an individual and group basis to help them to feel safe, develop the confidence to integrate with the host community and to have an improved quality of life.

The treasurer would work closely with the lead worker to provide regular financial updates for the board, prepare annual accounts and budget forecasts and support the aims of the organisation through effective financial management of the funds received through grant awards and donations.

We are looking for an individual with an interest or experience in accounts and finances. We would also welcome skills in other areas relevant to the wider work of the board in steering the organisation such as social media, human resources, community learning & development, finance/fundraising or marketing. We are looking for candidates with a belief in social justice and financial inclusion and an interest in the wellbeing of New Scots. Given our aims and commitment to diversity, we encourage applications from all genders, the BAME community and people with additional support needs.

The position of treasurer is a voluntary position but travel expenses and other reasonable expenses accrued when carrying out the role will be paid.

Time Commitment

For the role of treasurer we ask for availability to attend online meetings with the lead worker once a month to effectively support the financial management of NGIN. As with all board members we are also seeking commitment to attend 1 board meeting per quarter, held online or in person, with email contact on matters arising between meetings. Alongside this, additional requests may be made for support with board activities such as recruitment of staff on an occasional basis.
