Adsum Foundation

Trustee and Director from Academia opportunity now closed and candidate successfully appointed

Who we are: Adsum Foundation was established in 2008 in Belfast, Northern Ireland with the goal of supporting people and communities in the developing world and investing in their futures.
Our vision is a future where the possibilities and opportunities are the same for all, in a world without poverty. Our principal activity is raising funds to support the carefully selected partners and projects we work with overseas. In the early years, Adsum worked in various developing countries carefully selecting sustainable projects that would benefit future generations too.

What we do: Adsum Foundation focuses on projects that for one reason or another are not on the radar of the larger organisations and for whom the struggle for funds is ever greater.
Two of the key strengths we look for in a project or partner to be supported are leadership and accountability, which is vital for both the success of the project and our ongoing working relationship.

What we’re looking for: We are interested in developing a board with diverse skills over the coming years, but right now we are looking for a Trustee whose principal qualification will be their academic interests in international development, environment, education, or global poverty.
They will be able to bring to bear their judgement and guidance to their board colleagues impartially and in a spirit of collaboration.
