Industrial animal agriculture is at the root of many of the most pressing global issues of our time, from climate change and global hunger, to antibiotic resistance and the exploitation of billions of animals annually.

The Good Food Institute Europe (GFI Europe) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology to replace the products of industrial animal agriculture with plant-based, fermentation-derived and cultivated meat, eggs, dairy, and seafood. Please check out our U.S. affiliate’s website (gfi [dot] org) and Year In Review (gfi [dot] org/2019) to find out more about who we are, what we do, and why.

We are looking for a Philanthropy Manager to drive GFI’s fundraising efforts in Europe. For more information about this role and our team, please take a look at the job brochure here (shorturl.at/dmI46).

How You Will Make a Difference 

The work of GFI is entirely funded through philanthropy.  Reporting directly to the Managing Director of GFI Europe, you will be in a senior, frontline fundraising role, building and sustaining relationships with our growing family of supporters. Your role will have high responsibility and high impact. Your performance in this role has the potential to make a significant impact on how quickly Europe and the world moves to a more ethical and sustainable food system. 

Working closely with the GFI global development team, you will be responsible for delivering and executing a fundraising strategy for GFI Europe, fully aligned and integrated with the GFI global fundraising strategy, focussing initially on major donors. As the only fundraiser in our Europe team at present, your work will include:

• Building strong, meaningful, long-term relationships with major donors and prospects (both individuals and foundations) across the UK and Europe to attract, maintain and expand their support.

• Achieving ambitious fundraising targets. 

• Identifying and qualifying new philanthropic prospects.

• Helping keep our supporters up to date with our activities and impact.

• Ensuring accurate, timely and thorough correspondence, acknowledgement and record-keeping at all stages of the donor journey. You will use our CRM system (Salesforce) to manage prospects and supporters, enter and track gifts, pull reports, and analyse data.

• Over time, potentially identifying and implementing other fundraising revenue streams, and developing and executing creative strategies to expand our donor base, for example using social media and e-appeals, as part of GFI’s global fundraising efforts. 

• Coordinating closely with GFI development colleagues in the US and other countries. 

• Over time, potentially helping to drive GFI’s expansion to other countries in Europe, including setting up development systems in those countries. 

• Helping to organise transnational giving across national borders. 

• Perform other relevant duties as required. 

Who We’re Looking For 

The Philanthropy Manager must have:

• A passion for our philosophy and mission.

• A proven track record of cultivating relationships with major donors and/or funding institutions (e.g. trusts, foundations), and securing significant gifts. 

• The ability to persuasively make the case for support for GFI and to represent GFI to our stakeholders.

• Positivity and a genuine love of working with other people: a passion for building warm, long-lasting relationships with our family of supporters, motivating them to maintain and increase their support.

• Conscientiousness and attention to detail in recording and tracking interactions with donors and prospects: comfort with the ‘science’, as well as the ‘art’, of fundraising. 

• A willingness to travel throughout Europe in pursuit of philanthropic opportunities, when the COVID-19 situation allows.

• A very strong work ethic and self-motivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes and get things done.

• The ability to work in an organised and structured manner.

• Comfort working remotely in a rapidly-growing and evolving organisation: the ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (CEFR: C2 level minimum). 

We want the best people and we don’t want biases holding us back. We strongly encourage people of every race, orientation, age, gender, origin, and ability to apply. Because we value a diverse workplace, we prioritise an inclusive climate absent of discrimination and harassment during the application process and after you join the team.

• Terms of employment: Full-time, permanent. 

• Location: Flexible - we will consider applicants from anywhere in Europe. You will mainly be working remotely: from your home, or wherever you choose. Once the COVID-19 situation has cleared, you and the whole GFI Europe team will get together in-person approximately twice per year for around 3-4 days at a time, most likely in the London area or Brussels. Subject to COVID-19, there may also be other work trips within Europe, and occasionally beyond.

• Salary: £43,000 - £55,000 depending on experience and location. This range is based on a UK hire and will be adjusted if hired elsewhere in Europe.

The Eden Project is looking to recruit a Membership and Individual Giving Manager to cover a fixed term maternity contract until April 2022.

This is a key role managing a small team wholly dedicated to raising unrestricted revenue for the Eden Trust, and building long-lasting relationships with Eden’s valued supporters. As an interim role, we are therefore seeking an experienced Membership and/or Fundraising Manager who can hit the ground running.

The main remit is to ensure the continued success of Membership and Individual Giving fundraising activities at a time of considerable change across the sector.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for Eden’s charitable mission, which they will translate into persuasive supporter recruitment and retention strategies across low-, mid- and high-value giving streams. They will be equally comfortable in the creative realm of copywriting, marketing and design process management, as they are in interrogating complex data sets to manage financial reporting and forecasting. A pro-active and collaborative nature will be essential to succeeding in this role.

Talitha Arts is seeking an experienced, results-driven fundraiser who has a proven track record in fundraising for charities and growing annual giving and income. Talitha Arts is in the midst of an exciting time - we are growing our practitioner base and external partnerships, both in the UK and abroad.  We are seeking a relational Head of Fundraising who can expand on the current established portfolio, help to enable our growing charity’s groundwork by steadily increasing our grant income annually, and increase our small but dedicated donor base.

At Talitha Arts, creativity is at the heart of everything we do, and therefore we are seeking someone who shares our belief in the transformative power of the creative arts and can reflect our creative ethos in their approach to development. The Head of Fundraising will be responsible for the overall fundraising and development of Talitha Arts as a charity, including: leading, developing, implementing and communicating all fundraising initiatives for Talitha Arts.

This role is home-based (with occasional meetings in Central London).

Who are we?

Talitha Arts is a therapeutic arts charity that believes in empowering individuals through the freedom of the creative arts. We deliver training, and offer therapeutic arts workshops to partner organisations who work with clients that have experienced trauma (in particular: women who have experienced domestic violence, women who have been trafficked, refugees, people experiencing homelessness, and people with dementia).

The Natural History Museum is both a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. With a vision of a future in which both people and the planet thrive, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful champion for balancing humanity's needs with those of the natural world.

It is custodian of one of the world's most important scientific collections comprising over 80 million specimens. The scale of this collection enables researchers from all over the world to document how species have and continue to respond to environmental changes - which is vital in helping predict what might happen in the future and informing future policies and plans to help the planet.

We are at a pivotal moment in our history as we launch a new strategy setting out our role as the natural world faces increasing threats. Building on our world-leading collection, global reputation for science and as one of the world's leading visitor attractions, the NHM has ambitious plans leading up to the 150 anniversary of the opening of the Waterhouse Building in 2031, making this a truly exciting time to be part of the NHM team.

About the role

Working within the Museum's Central Project Office (CPO), you will manage projects ranging from major refurbishment and capital projects, to commercial initiatives and temporary exhibitions, including those that take place in our grounds.

Responsible from initial proposal, through to feasibility, business case and all subsequent project stages to completion, you will ensure effective delivery of projects on time and to budget, meeting their objectives by following best practice identified in the Museum's project processes and policies.

To support and enable the success of your projects you will work collaboratively across the CPO, and wider museum with key stakeholders. This will also include oversight of consultants and contractors to ensure that projects are delivered successfully.

About you

You will have experience of planning and delivering projects in a complex environment, with the ability to work with multi-disciplined stakeholders. You will be skilled in planning and managing works within the broader Museum context, taking into account the impact on operations and on visitor experience and ensuring delivery of the initiative to the highest possible standards.

Interviews expected 10 - 12 February 2021

To apply, please visit and upload your CV with a covering letter, which clearly outlines how you meet our person specification.

About the role

Our Development Department generates philanthropic income to help us create a Natural History Museum for the future - investing in capital development, attaining vital acquisitions for the collection, transforming our galleries, developing innovative exhibitions and undertaking ground-breaking scientific research on issues that affect us all.

This is a key role within the team with responsibility for important project management within Development, and as the Development lead in engaging with stakeholders across the Museum on wider organisational activities.

These activities include Museum-wide initiatives in line with our science and collection strategy, ensuring that Development is represented and proactively involved in all aspects, and that senior management and the wider team are informed and engaged. In addition, Development is part of important Museum-wide governance activities in line with our ethical policies and values, and this role will play a crucial part in both representing Development, stakeholder engagement, and delivering the outcomes of this work.

You will also lead on the review, design and implementation of any new or revised policies to ensure best practice across the department.

About you

You will be a skilled generalist project manager or policy specialist with excellent communication and reporting skills, the ability to manage multiple workstreams, and be able to learn, absorb and transmit complex information to a range of audiences. You will also have excellent planning and prioritisation skills, with the ability to act as the department's key contact for a range of activities. Your ability to develop strategies, policies and plans, and to engage stakeholders at all levels, will be vital to the role.

The role often requires working on your own or in a small team to plan and deliver operational activities and business change, so you will be comfortable with a hands-on role seeing projects through to completion, delivering training but also working directly with data, reporting, and using the Museum's information platforms - Microsoft Office 365, Sharepoint and CRM databases such as Raiser's Edge. Understanding of a range of project methodologies such as Prince 2 and Agile would be an advantage.

About Action for Conservation

We are at a critical moment in our earth’s history, and it’s never been more important to empower every young person to fight for their future and the future of the planet. Action for Conservation is an innovative young charity using pioneering approaches to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. We work with young people from diverse backgrounds to build a youth movement committed to the earth.

About the role

This is an exciting role for an experienced manager who shares our passion for youth-led solutions to the climate and environmental crisis. The Programme Manager will work closely with the Head of Programmes to lead and expand our core programmes in South West England and Wales, grow and mentor a regional delivery team and support with other emerging areas of our work. You will act as an educator, role model and mentor to young people, whilst demonstrating strong, visible and inspiring leadership within the organisation.

If you feel you would make the most of an opportunity to shape an exciting young charity and have a positive impact on young people’s lives and the future of our planet, then we want to hear from you.

Why work with us?

You’ll be joining a young, mission-driven team who truly love what they do. Working with young people is always rewarding, sometimes challenging and never boring, and you’ll get to experience first-hand the positive impact that our work has. It goes without saying that we work hard, but we also maintain a positive work-life balance and spend lots of time outdoors. You’ll receive 33 days annual leave including public holidays, 4 paid annual volunteer days, quarterly team ‘action days’, away weekends, access to flexible working, training, development and career progression opportunities and a work place pension.

Our commitment to diversity

Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. We therefore encourage people from backgrounds currently underrepresented in the environmental movement and on our team, including people of colour, disabled people and LGBT+ people, to apply.

Our commitment to safeguarding

We’re committed to ensuring that robust child safeguarding practices are seen as the norm, so that safeguarding becomes everybody’s business. We expect all staff, volunteers and partners to protect the young people we work with from harm and abide by our Child Safeguarding Policy. Prior to appointment, the selected candidate will be required to provide two references and a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check will be carried out.

They will need to have extensive knowledge of the UK media, strong social media know-how, and an ability to anticipate and identify PR opportunities and trends relevant to Girlguiding to help us meet strategic goals. They will have experience of crisis and reputational risk management and managing celebrity ambassadors.
