Gerald Oppenheim
Until autumn 2010, Gerald Oppenheim was the director of policy and partnerships at the Big Lottery Fund.
Oppenheim has been with the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) since its formation. He first joined the National Lottery Charities Board and its successor the Community Fund in 1995. Later, after a merger between the Community Fund and the New Opportunities Fund created BIG, Oppenheim became director of corporate planning, and in 2002 was promoted to the policy and partnership post.
Oppenheim's grantmaking career began in 1978 when he moved sideways into a grants officer role at the Greater London Council housing department. In 1985 he became director of the London Boroughs Grants Unit, a post he held for ten years.
In 2010 he stepped down from BIG in a restructure which saw his post subsumed within the remit of the director for England. He became a consultant and continues with his chairmanship of learning disability charity the Camden Society.

Gerald Oppenheim’s departure from the Big Lottery Fund last month marked the end of an era for the funder. But its future is no less exciting, he tells Tania Mason.
The board members of the Big Lottery Fund are re-examining the funder’s policy on additionality and considering whether it is still fit for purpose in the tighter economic environment.
The Big Lottery Fund is inviting tenders for a multi-million-pound funding management system that will enable it to significantly increase the volume of applications that it receives and processes online.
The Big Lottery Fund will see a shift in senior management by the end of the year, it has announced.
The Trustee Exchange one-day conference is an excellent opportunity for all trustees to benefit from stimulating presentations, workshops and interactive sessions to gain fresh insights to help your board operate more effectively and efficiently. The day also gives you the perfect chance to network face-to-face with other board members who tackle similar issues, share ideas and find solutions to develop best practice.
