The Manager (Grant Fundraising & Partnership) role at MASTUL Foundation involves driving international funding for community development programs in Bangladesh. You’ll focus on securing grants from global non-profits, charities, and institutional donors to support initiatives like education, health, and social equity. This position requires strategic thinking, relationship-building, and a deep understanding of how to translate local impact into compelling proposals for international audiences.

• Proven ability to write high-quality proposals that align with donor priorities
• Experience managing donor relationships and maintaining long-term partnerships
• Familiarity with compliance requirements for international funding and reporting
• Leadership skills to guide teams and support fundraising operations
• Passion for MASTUL’s mission and commitment to community empowerment
Candidates should highlight experience working with NGOs, INGOs, or development agencies in Bangladesh, particularly those focused on poverty alleviation, education, or health. Emphasize roles where you managed grant cycles, negotiated partnerships, or ensured compliance with donor guidelines. Local experience is critical, as is any exposure to international funding frameworks or field-based projects.
• Present education with a focus on development studies, public policy, or related fields
• Include certifications in grant writing, project management, or NGO operations
• Highlight relevant training in donor engagement or international development trends
• Mention any language skills, especially fluency in English and Bangla
Knowledge of tools like GrantForward, Pivot, or donor management software is valuable. Familiarity with databases like Philanthropy Northwest or GuideStar can demonstrate research skills. Practical understanding of budgeting, impact measurement, and reporting systems is essential for aligning proposals with donor expectations.
1. Research MASTUL’s mission and recent projects to align your answers with their goals
2. Prepare specific examples of past grant successes, donor relationships, or compliance challenges
3. Practice explaining how your leadership style supports team collaboration and project outcomes
4. Anticipate questions about handling pressure, managing deadlines, and adapting to cultural differences
5. Be ready to discuss your approach to balancing local needs with international donor priorities
Ensure all documents are organized, including your CV, letters of recommendation, and proof of certifications. Reference local contacts or past employers who can vouch for your compliance and partnership skills. Demonstrate readiness to work in Dhaka, showing familiarity with the local NGO landscape and MASTUL’s operational context.
