Service Management Jobs
The purpose of the Philanthropy Officer role is to support with the Trust’s approach to building and developing income from philanthropic sources, including Trusts and Foundations, organisational donors, and individuals, as well as supporting the effective stewardship of our family of supporters. We are setting ambitious fundraising targets to substantially increase income for the next phase of our 2030 strategy to grow activity across the organisation and support the widest cohort of beneficiaries possible.
The Development team has secured a relatively stable income of c.£6M of income over a number of years. 22/23 was our strongest year yet with an income of £6.8M and pledges of £12.8M, and we look set to exceed this in 23/24. Philanthropy revenue accounted for just less than half of the income in 22/23 and we believe there is potential for much more as the philanthropic community continues to invest in social mobility and unlocking young people’s potential to create a fairer society where everyone can succeed no matter their background.
The Philanthropy Officer will work on a key income stream for the Sutton Trust, developing a robust pipeline of Trust and Foundation prospects and delivering high-quality account management to a portfolio of small to mid-level Trusts, Foundations, and organisational donors.
