Card Factory Foundation names new fund manager

Wakefield-headquartered Card Factory Foundation has appointed Ellie Saltrick as fund manager to support its next stage of growth.

Ellie brings 13 years of experience in the not-for-profit sector, with senior roles at Changing Faces and the British Heart Foundation. 

In her new role, she will oversee the Local Community Fund and Colleague Match Fund, focusing on evaluation and expansion to ensure continued impact.

Ellie said: “Charity has always been part of my life, both personally and professionally. 

“Joining the Card Factory Foundation at this stage in its journey is a hugely exciting opportunity. 

“I’ve always been interested in the role of corporate foundations, and this feels like a natural step to take my experience to the other side of the funding conversation. 

“I’m especially inspired by the breadth of the Foundation’s work, from empowering colleagues to back the causes they care about, to the Life Moments Fund making a difference at critical times.”

Pushpinder Gill, head of the Card Factory Foundation, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Ellie as our new fund manager. 

“She brings a wealth of passion and expertise and has a strong track record across the sector, along with a deep understanding of what charities need to thrive. 

“This is an exciting time for the Foundation as we refine our strategic approach and expand our reach, and Ellie's contribution will be invaluable as we continue to build momentum and deliver real support where it’s needed most.”
