Alongside artistic excellence, fundraising has been vital to AAM’s success since it registered as a charity in 2000. The orchestra’s financial strength stems from the ongoing generosity of an ever-expanding family of supporters who donated more than £430k last year to sustain AAM’s work.
Overall, the orchestra is funded by a mixture of income generated by concerts in the UK and abroad, royalties and other residuals, Orchestra Tax Relief and a large group of private donors (individuals and trusts & foundations). AAM does not receive regular public funding, though the current season marks the beginning of a four-year collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Research Council which will have a significant impact on the core funding of the organisation, as well as our ability to deliver several extraordinary projects.
Individual giving at AAM is supported by three membership schemes: Academy, Associates and Friends. Together, these make up the orchestra’s closest group of supporters. These individuals are at the heart of our work, and we are committed to developing deep and long-lasting relationships with them all. Alongside membership, the AAM Legacy Circle was established in 2013 to recognise AAM supporters who have informed us of their intention to remember the orchestra in their wills. Dame Emma Kirkby, one of AAM’s most distinguished collaborators, is the Circle’s Founder Patron. To date, the vast majority of individual giving has been from UK residents, though we plan to explore investment strategies in the coming years to increase our presence in North America, hopefully driving capacity for giving there.
AAM has an established track record of generous support from trusts & foundations, as well as from public funders. The orchestra was an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation from 2012-15 and has received numerous Grants for the Arts and other support from that funding body. Further, our current season is the first of four to be sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, a division of UK Research and Innovation.
Coming seasons will see continued expansion of our international touring work, delivery of several significant recorded, filmed and digital initiatives, and the further development of AAMplify Artists, our innovative side-by-side education scheme. As such, this position is a fantastic opportunity for a highly motivated, capable and experienced fundraiser to join our small management team at a pivotal moment and help drive the next chapter in AAM’s already storied history. He or she will be well supported by the Board of Trustees, its Chair, the Chief Executive and the Development Board; as well as a Development & Events Co-ordinator, who provides excellent day-to-day departmental support.

INTRAC is looking for a dynamic individual with a passion for civil society to join as Director of Fundraising and Partnerships.
INTRAC is unashamedly for civil society. We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change. This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.
Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with. Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.
The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change. We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.
You will have significant experience and a proven track record in developing and delivering fundraising strategy, particularly focused on trusts, foundations and philanthropy, taking a relationship-based approach to build partnerships with organisations that share similar values and vision.
You will work with the team to build our capability, partnership, systems and processes to steward relationships, develop grants and manage their delivery. Working with our Communications Co-ordinator you will help to build INTRAC’s profile and position in line with our strategic vision and ambitions. You will have active support from the CEO along with strong board commitment to help develop and deliver this role.
This is a part time role (0.6-0.8 FTE); initially offered as an eighteen month contract with the intention to extend should the role be successful.
We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction. However, we do not have a straightforward way to do this currently. Whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world we will not sponsor visa applications. If you are based outside the UK and are keen to consider one of our roles please email Jenny George to discuss details.
To apply for the role please share a copy of your CV and respond to the following three questions (word limit 750 words):
1. Build Partnerships: Please tell us about a time when you have built a long-term relationship and secured strategic funding from new funder.
2. Leadership: Please tell us about a time when you challenged current practice in an organisation and embedded a new way of working.
3. Communication: Please tell us about a time when communicated a complex issue, raising its profile and encouraging others to engage with it/act on it.
In answering, please provide as much evidence as you can, to explain:
· the Situation in which you acted,
· what you were Tasked to do,
· the Actions you took and
· the Results you achieved and
· what you learnt from the process.
Answering the questions in this way will help the short-listing panel recognise and understand clearly the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that you bring to the role.
