CANDIDATES MUST HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK IN UK LEGALLY

The Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law is an educational charity (not an activist group) working in the field of animal rights law.

We have a budget of some £120k pa, currently supported by a few large donors, and we want to broaden out our donor base and reduce our dependence on a handful of donors. We are looking for 8-12 donors - probably HNW individuals - each able to give £10-25k pa renewable. We have experience pitching the work of the Centre, but need help in meeting potential donors. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser who can identify potential donors, make initial contact, and set up calls or meetings for us to meet with them and present the work of the Centre.

Founded in 2019 by two Cambridge academics, the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law has become one of the world's leading centres of competence in animal rights law. Our mission is to study fundamental rights for animals, advancing research, teaching, and raising public awareness of the topic with a view to making change possible.
