The Westminster Foundation is looking for a Westminster Grants Manager to join us in creating lasting change for children and young people.
The Westminster Foundation provides long-term, sustainable support to vulnerable children, young people, and their families.
Primarily a place-based funder in Westminster, Chester, Lancashire and Sutherland, we build meaningful partnerships with local charities rooted in their communities. Our focus is early intervention, identifying and addressing risks before they escalate, so children and young people get the support they need at the moments it matters most.
Our work goes beyond funding. We work alongside our partners to strengthen their organisations, encourage collaboration, and address the systemic conditions that hold deep-rooted problems in place. We amplify young people’s voices and listen closely to those on the frontlines, ensuring our work stays grounded, responsive, and impactful.
We are proud to serve as the primary charitable vehicle for the Duke of Westminster and Grosvenor businesses, uniting resources, relationships, and shared purpose to build brighter futures.
