Job description

About Child’s i Foundation

Child’s i Foundation is a small but mighty social impact organisation that started in Uganda and now has a growing global footprint. We work with communities, caregivers, and individuals with lived experience to co-create and scale sustainable alternatives to institutional care. We address the root causes of family separation and demonstrate that every child belongs in a safe and loving family, not in an orphanage.

Purpose of the Role

The Business Development Lead will play a critical role in driving the financial sustainability of Child’s i Foundation. This person will lead efforts to secure new income, grow existing partnerships, and strengthen supporter engagement. This role combines strategy and execution and is ideal for someone with a passion for social justice, a flair for building relationships, and experience in both fundraising and donor communications. The role will report into our Chief Executive Officer. 

Key Responsibilities
Business Development & Income Generation

  • Develop and execute the fundraising and income generation strategy across diverse streams including:
    • ​Trusts and Foundations
    • Corporate Partnerships
    • Major Donors
    • Regular Giving
    • Campaigns and Events (UK & Uganda)
    • Track investment in partnership with Finance Manager
  • Identify and cultivate new funding opportunities aligned with Child's i mission, values and strategic objectives. 
  • Lead proposal writing, donor reporting and relationship management for high-value funders and partners.
  • Work closely with the CEO and Board to unlock networks and steward strategic relationships

Supporter Engagement & Communications

  • Oversee supporter care and stewardship, ensuring timely acknowledgements and meaningful engagement.
  • Manage and work with the comms team to develop content for digital fundraising platforms (website, social media, and email).
  • Guide the comms team to develop compelling supporter journeys and storytelling that reflect the voices of communities we work with.
  • Oversee the development of newsletters and donor communications that build long-term loyalty.

Operational Fundraising Management

  • Oversee donation processing, database management, and tracking of fundraising KPIs.
  • Coordinate with UK and Uganda teams to align messaging, campaigns, and compliance.
  • Provide strategic oversight of volunteer-led and community fundraising initiatives.

Team Collaboration & Leadership

  • Line manage junior fundraising support if applicable.
  • Work collaboratively with programme, comms, finance, and impact teams to ensure donor requirements are met and learning is shared.
  • Contribute to organisational learning on ethical fundraising, locally-led development, and shifting power to communities.

Person Specification

Essential

  • Proven experience in business development and fundraising (minimum 3 years), ideally in the social impact or NGO sector. 
  • Track record of securing income from trusts, foundations, or major donors.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives.
  • Strong relationship-building skills, from individual supporters to institutional donors.
  • Organised, proactive, and adaptable, able to juggle multiple priorities in a small, fast-moving team.
  • Commitment to Child’s i’s values and vision, and to ethical fundraising grounded in dignity and equity.

Desirable

  • Experience working in East Africa or with Global South-led organisations.
  • Familiarity and confidence with use of CRM systems. We use Beacon. 
  • Understanding of child protection, care reform, or community development sectors.

What We Offer

  • A chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and families.
  • Flexible and supportive working environment.
  • Opportunity to be part of a globally respected, locally rooted team shaping the future of child care in Africa and beyond
  • 25 days of holiday entitlement 
  • Contributory Pension

Normal office hours are 9:30am to 5:30pm (with one hour for lunch), but flexibility will be required

We are open to part-time working requests.
