Philanthropic Development Lead

Youth Action Alliance (YAA) is seeking a dynamic and well-connected individual to take on the role of a Philanthropic Development Lead from March 2025. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and influential leader to drive our fundraising efforts and expand our network of high-net-worth individuals, corporate partners, trusts, and foundations.

We are expanding our donation efforts and are seeking a dedicated volunteer to help us achieve our vision of becoming a trusted charitable organisation for philanthropists and corporate partners. This is the ideal fit for someone with deep connections in the local area wanting to help their less fortunate neighbours.

About the Role

As a Lead, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening YAA’s donor network, leveraging your expertise, connections, and influence to help us grow our income and increase our impact. Unlike Trustees, the Philanthropic Development Lead will not hold governance responsibilities; instead, they focus solely on supporting fundraising efforts.

Your skills and expertise are what we need to continue to grow. Our volunteers are essential in supporting the growth of our charity and bringing our mission to life.

Key Responsibilities:

●      Lead and energise our ‘Friends of YAA’ initiative, engaging donors and stakeholders.

●      Cultivate relationships with corporate sponsors, philanthropic foundations, and high-net-worth individuals to secure funding.

●      Advocate for YAA’s mission, articulating our strong return on investment and impact to potential supporters.

●      Attend networking events and donor engagement opportunities.

●      Provide strategic guidance on fundraising approaches, identifying opportunities for sustainable financial growth.

Who We’re Looking For:

●      A well-connected individual with deep knowledge of RBKC and its philanthropic landscape.

●      A charismatic and strategic leader with experience in fundraising, corporate engagement, or development.

●      Someone with a strong interest in youth and community development and a passion for social impact.

●      A professional with a background in business, finance, philanthropy, or non-profit leadership.

Why Join Us?

This role offers an incredible opportunity to drive meaningful change, working alongside a dedicated team committed to empowering young people. YAA provides exceptional value for money and measurable impact, making this a unique chance to champion a cause that positively impacts young people's lives and truly delivers results.
