As Fundraising Manager, you will create an annual plan that considers public fundraising, HNWIS, corporate fundraising, gifts, and donations.
A highly effective personal support charity seeks to appoint an experienced Fundraising Manager to develop new revenue streams. With its funding coming from government contracts and grants, the organisation has ambitious plans to grow its service offering. Key to this is the attraction of revenue through fundraising.
This position is standalone, but there is scope for you to develop and manage a fundraising team. Your career will show experience in managing fundraising campaigns with a record of successful fundraising applications to trusts, foundations, statutory bodies, and bilateral or other institutional grant funders. A proven track record of successful bid writing would be an advantage.
The Fundraising Manager's role will be vital in building enduring relationships, support, and commitment from a diverse audience.
