We are seeking an exceptional leader and brilliant relationship fundraiser to join the Philanthropy department, leading the Major Donor team at Alzheimer’s Society. The same team doubled their income target last year!
This is a hugely exciting time to work for the UK’s leading dementia charity. The Major Donor Team is growing fast, and we have plans to significantly increase our income to fund critical dementia support services and research. Two ground-breaking treatments have recently shown for the first time that it is possible to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Critical to our ambition is developing new partnerships with philanthropic supporters. We have a pipeline of new ground-breaking research & community projects in development that provide an exciting opportunity to grow funding from this audience, and a new major donor prospect pipeline and cultivation programme up and running.
In this role, you will develop and deliver the major donor growth plan, in line with the Philanthropy strategy to 2030, leading a brilliant team of major donor specialist fundraisers. You will develop new long-term, and transformational partnerships with philanthropic partners (both individuals and families) at a £500k+ and £1m+ level. You will be key to engaging them with the Society’s ambitious vision and exciting major programmes of work, spanning cutting-edge research, health inequalities, clinical trials, on-the-ground support, and participation for people living with dementia, and new life-changing dementia treatments.
Importantly, the role also provides the chance to deliver a meaningful impact on the lives of people affected by dementia, helping us to reach our goal of securing £5+ million a year from Major Donors by 2027.
Alzheimer’s Society is primarily a home-based organisation, with the possibility to use our London/Birmingham offices as desired, however, there are also hybrid and office contracts available, so we can be fully flexible. You will be required to travel to attend donor meetings and some team-based meetings and training, so you must reside in the UK, have the correct right-to-work documents to work in the UK and be able to travel to our London flagship office when required.
About you
This role provides a great opportunity for an experienced relationship fundraiser to drive an area of our work that has huge growth potential and is already growing fast! You will get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and vital programmes of work that provide help and hope for everyone affected by dementia.
Our Major Donor team sits within the Philanthropy department in the Income & Engagement directorate, and we pride ourselves on being supportive and caring for one another while also being passionate and ambitious about the work we do.
- You will have an entrepreneurial approach and be able to demonstrate how you have secured new opportunities and built strong, lasting relationships and long-term funding.
- You have a proven track record of securing high-value principal gifts from philanthropic individuals.
- You will be a fantastic leader, who can balance vision and inspiration with critical processes and best practices, motivating and supporting your team to succeed.
- You will also be a confident and engaging communicator, adept at collaborating with stakeholders internally and externally, with a detailed understanding of the evolving major donor and philanthropic landscape. You must understand the motivations of social impact investing for supporters and be curious and highly motivated about ending the devastation caused by dementia.
