This is a busy and varied role which often involves working on multiple fundraising activities at once. A typical day could include working on an application to a new funder, designing a supporter newsletter, gathering information for an end of grant report, and researching new prospects.
This job is for you if you have:
-
A track record of securing income through diverse fundraising streams, such as grants, corporate partnerships, or individual giving.
-
Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, including prospective donors - trusts, corporates and individuals.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft compelling proposals and make persuasive cases for support.
