Job description

A voluntary role to take a strategic lead within the Board of Trustees in the support of fundraising at the
Harlequins Foundation.

The Fundraising Trustee will support the Foundation team to ensure that fundraising initiatives are of the
highest standard, that all fundraising activity is compliant with the Fundraising Regulator and relevant
charity law and will assist in developing opportunities which will have the greatest impact in the sector.

About you
You will ideally have experience in fundraising/income generation and will have held senior management
positions, although this is not essential to the role. We would also value experience in some of the
following areas where the Foundation has identified a need for support:

  • Grants and Trusts fundraising
  • Code of fundraising and best practice in fundraising
  • Social investment
  • Community fundraising
  • Events fundraising

With an ability to hold fundraisers to account and to ask the right questions about strategy and
implementation, you will have an understanding of the UK charity sector, good governance, relevant
legislations, and statutory requirements.

The ideal person for this role will possess an understanding of fundraising practices and the most effective
ways of using these to maximise income, with excellent networking ability, influencing and communication
skills and be well connected in London and the South-East.

How you can make a difference to our work
In addition to the general responsibilities of our Trustee’s your role may include supporting in some of the
following areas:

  • Providing guidance and support on the ongoing development and implementation of the Harlequins Foundation’s fundraising strategy and providing support to recognise new opportunities in the sector
  • Contributing knowledge of fundraising techniques and strategies, understanding results and approving budgets
  • Monitoring the fundraising progress and constructively challenging the Head of Foundation and the Board by asking the right questions about the fundraising strategy and its implementation
  • Monitoring the Harlequins Foundation’s fundraising activity ensuring that it is carried out effectively and lawfully
  • Mentoring and supporting the Harlequins Foundation’s Head of Fundraising & Engagement and their team when required
  • Being the fundraising champion on the Board of Trustees and being an active spokesperson for the Harlequins Foundation in networking to solicit funds and in contributing at key donor presentations when required
  • Assisting with the development and amplification of our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion work
  • The list is indicative, and adaptable to the skillset and commitment of the appointed person

Commitment required
The fulfilment of these duties is expected to take around one to two days a month that all trustees are
asked to give as part of their roles.

This is inclusive of attendance at a minimum of four Trustee Board meetings a year. The quarterly Trustee
Board meetings are usually in person at the Twickenham Stoop, and last for 2 hours.

Tenure
The Lead Trustee for Fundraising must be an active Trustee and is elected for a period of two years, after
which they may seek re-election.

Remuneration
The role is an unremunerated voluntary position, but reasonable expenses will be met. Per the articles of
association, liability of trustees is limited to £1, and the Harlequins Foundation is covered by appropriate
insurance.
