Job description

MK Community Foundation is a leading local charity that connects people who care with causes that matter. Through our grant-making, philanthropy, and property programmes we support a wide range of voluntary and community groups across Milton Keynes, tackling inequality and helping the city thrive. Every year we distribute vital funding to projects that change lives, strengthen communities, and make Milton Keynes a fairer place for everyone. 

Are you looking to build a career in philanthropy and fundraising? Whether you have formal charity experience or have shown your commitment through volunteering and community involvement, this could be the opportunity for you. 

MK Community Foundation is seeking a proactive and relationship-led fundraiser to join the team as Philanthropy Manager to drive major donor and legacy giving in Milton Keynes.

  • A proven track record of securing major gifts and managing high-value donor relationships. 

  • Experience in developing and implementing fundraising strategies, prospecting plans, proposal writing and project management. 

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly at senior levels. 

  • Strong understanding of fundraising compliance, tax-efficient giving, and donor stewardship best practices. 

  • Credibility and gravitas to engage confidently with senior stakeholders and donors. 

  • Strong relationship-building, networking, and influencing skills. 

In this role, you will: 

  • Lead and develop relationships with individual donors, including major donors and those interested in legacy giving. 

  • Contribute to the development and delivery of our individual philanthropy strategy. 

  • Support our grant-making programmes by assessing applications, presenting recommendations, and monitoring funded projects. 

  • Identify and develop new opportunities for philanthropic income and donor engagement. 

  • Work closely with colleagues, fundholders, and community partners to maximise impact in Milton Keynes. 

We are looking for someone who: 

  • Has experience in major donor fundraising, legacy giving, or relationship-led income generation. 

  • Is a confident and credible communicator, able to build trust with donors, fundholders, and community partners. 

  • Is organised, proactive, and analytical, with strong attention to detail. 

  • Has a genuine passion for making a positive difference in Milton Keynes. 

This role offers the chance to play a key part in shaping the future of individual philanthropy at the Foundation, while directly contributing to projects that change lives across our community.
