Jessie Ballantyne

Jessie has nearly 20 years experience in funding and grants. She has worked with government, not-for-profits and businesses in a range of grant related capacities to improve grant systems and win grants at a grassroots level right up to large grants. When others see blockers, Jessie sees opportunities - she is a problem solver and solution seeker.

The Grants Hub was launched by Jessie in June 2013. She spent countless hours listening to grant seekers about their needs, brainstorming ideas, considering solutions, trialling designs, researching grants, and entering hundreds of listings into the grants directory. Her persistence and passion enabled the launch of The Grants Hub as a successful business that efficiently and resourcefully responds to grant seeker needs. She also cemented a strong ethos aimed at empowering The Grants Hub team to innovate together and grow professionally.

Jessie is embedded at The Grants Hub in innovation, brand, business development and strategy. She continues to look at how to add value for The Grants Hub members and make finding the right grants accessible for everyone, in one place.
