The Rainbow Fund has recently reviewed how it is currently administered and is looking to appoint an Independent Treasurer to ensure that all of its practices and procedures are fully open and transparent. The Rainbow Fund provides grant funding to Brighton and Hove based LGBT and HIV community grou
The Rainbow Fund provides grant funding to Brighton and Hove based LGBT and HIV community groups who provide effective front line services to the LGBT community, and in the last two years has worked with Pride to distribute money raised through the sale of entry tickets to the event.
The ideal person will have experience of auditing, accountancy or grant-making and will assist the Fund to move forward in 2014. To ensure full independence they should not be able to be part of any organisation likely to receive funding from the Rainbow Fund.
The role will include:
· Overseeing all financial business of the Rainbow Fund to give donors confidence in the Rainbow Fund’s practices.
· Working with the Chairman to ensure the safe collection, banking and acknowledgement of donated money.
· Working with the Grants Panel on the Issuing of grants to successful applicants.
As is the case will all roles at the Rainbow Fund, no salary or expenses are payable, however you will be playing a key role in building a strong local LGBT/HIV community sector.
The Rainbow Fund benefits from regular fundraising events, and overseeing the safe collection of the money raised is a vital part of this role. This will mean occasional unsociable hours and the need for availability at weekends. This will be an annual appointment.
In the first instance to register for more information on this role, please email info@rainbow-fund.org by February 14 2014.
For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Paul Elgood, Chairman of the Rainbow Fund at paulelgood@gmail.com
