Fundraising Manager - Tiphereth

About Tiphereth

Tiphereth is a Camphill community in Edinburgh providing residential care and day services for adults with learning disabilities and autism. We are part of the wider Camphill movement, which emphasises intentional community living, meaningful work and shared life between people with and without support needs.

Our community brings together over 200 people with our members, staff, vocational co-worker and volunteers across residential homes, supported living services and vibrant day services. We operate craft workshops, horticulture programmes, a pop-up shop and participate in local markets. Our work is underpinned by anthroposophical principles and a deep commitment to human dignity, inclusion and the belief that everyone has a meaningful contribution to make.

Tiphereth is at an exciting point in its development. Following a successful financial recovery and the launch of our Five-Year Strategy, we are investing in our capacity to grow sustainably.

From Year Two onwards, you will have the opportunity to recruit and develop a small team covering marketing and communications, community fundraising, and grant and trust applications.

This role requires someone who can operate strategically whilst also delivering at pace. You will need to be equally comfortable presenting to the Board as you are drafting a grant application or stewarding a major donor.

2. Major Gifts and Philanthropy

• Develop compelling cases for support and funding proposals for capital projects and programme development

• Build and maintain long-term relationships with donors, ensuring exceptional stewardship and regular impact reporting

• Support the CEO and trustees in their donor engagement activities, preparing briefings and facilitating introductions

• Maximise tax-efficient giving through Gift Aid and other mechanisms

3. Grants and Trusts

• Research and develop a pipeline of grant-making trusts and foundations aligned with Tiphereth's work

• Write and submit high-quality funding applications, working collaboratively with service managers to develop project proposals

• Maintain accurate records of applications, outcomes and reporting requirements

• Build relationships with programme officers and foundation staff to strengthen future applications

4. Marketing and Communications

• Lead the development and implementation of Tiphereth's marketing and communications strategy

• Oversee brand management, ensuring consistent and compelling messaging across all channels, including timely responses to donors and interested parties

• Develop engaging content including the Annual Impact Report, newsletters, social media and website

• Champion digital fundraising initiatives and enhance supporter journeys to improve engagement and retention

• Raise Tiphereth's profile through media engagement, events and participation in sector networks

5. Community Fundraising and Events

• Develop and grow community fundraising income including individual giving, regular giving and legacy programmes

• Plan and deliver fundraising events and supporter engagement activities that reflect Tiphereth's values

• Support and coordinate third-party fundraising by community supporters

• Explore corporate partnership opportunities aligned with our ethos

6. Team Development and Management

• Build the case for and recruit specialist roles in marketing, community fundraising and grant-writing as capacity grows (from Year Two)
