About Us

At Fay Fuller Foundation, we are committed to working alongside South Australian communities to foster inclusive and equitable healthy futures. As a private philanthropic foundation and health promotion charity, we are driven by a strong belief in the power of communities to lead change. Our strategy and partnerships endeavour to support community voices to shape and drive responses that are person centred, contextual, and built upon existing strengths and expertise.

Our small but dynamic team prioritises cultural learning, deep connection with community, and an inclusive workplace culture where everyone belongs.

About the Role

As our Grants and Evaluation Support Officer, you will play a key role in supporting our grantmaking and impact evaluation activities.

This is a great opportunity to grow your skills in grant administration, social impact measurement, and collaborative learning while being part of a dynamic and values-driven organisation.

Key functions

• Support Partnerships: Assist with grant applications, assessments, and selection processes to ensure alignment with our strategy and values. Help administer grants, agreements, payments, and maintain accurate records.

Experience and abilities

This role is ideal for someone early in their career (1–2 years of experience), who is an avid learner and keen to develop new skills and knowledge where needed. An interest or understanding of social change, evaluation, mental health, and wellbeing would be a great contribution to this position.
