Description of the Position
The Grants & Fundraising Manager will work with senior AEN management and the in-country Ugandan finance team in order to apply for and attain funding from a range of sources. As an established international development startup, this position will allow you to bring your own focus and skill set to a role ripe for growth.
Specific responsibilities include:
- Applying for competitive grants
- Researching and implementing creative fundraising methods
- Growing the Grants & Fundraising team as appropriate
- Communicating with other AEN members on a weekly basis
- Setting realistic deadlines based on grant timelines and your availability
- Communicating timely with AEN’s other sections when needed

Requirements
We are looking for highly motivated individuals focusing on entrepreneurship, international development or nonprofit management. Undergraduate/graduate students and college graduates with demonstrated interests or work experience are encouraged to apply.
Alongside exposure to grant writing and fundraising - preferably with successful grant applications already completed - the ideal candidate will possess excellent research, creativity, writing and interpersonal skills, with strong commitment to AEN’s values and mission.
Code & Conditions
An offer of assignment and a copy of the Conditions of Service and Code of Conduct will be issued to the successful candidate. He or she will receive training before the work officially starts.

Mission Statement
African Education Network (AEN) is a cross-continental network to advocate multi-facet development in Africa via education.
Description
Many CBOs (community-based organizations, including NGOs operating at the community level) in Africa are rooted in the community and more closely connected with the local people and resources than other entities. However, these organizations oftentimes are not widely known as they function mainly at the community level, lacking attention and support from the international community. Their great work is not commensurate with the recognition they have received.
Witnessing the lack of effective communication between African CBOs and the global youth who are eager to engage themselves in Africa, in particular, AEN seizes the opportunity to bridge communication gaps via education. It engages CBOs in Africa and the young people around the world, facilitating the communication between the two sides to foster mutual trust and in-depth cooperation.
Believing that education is an essential means to achieve mutual understanding and improve the communication out of a kaleidoscope of social purposes, AEN is expected to deliver its work through a unique educational approach. This approach integrates three core components: intercultural communication, organizational learning, and newsletter distribution.
