Transparency International UK: Fundraising Officer

• Full time - 35 hrs per week
• Permanent
• Salary: £26,574 - £27,919 per annum
• Location: Office near Liverpool Street, with opportunity for blended working.

About us
Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is the UK’s leading independent anti-corruption organisation. We are a member of the Transparency International global movement made up of more than 110 country chapters with the vision for a world where people’s lives, government, business and society are free from corruption.  We believe in a world where the health of our institutions is enhanced so they can better support the people they are intended for; a world where we can trust the integrity of those in authority and in business, and a world where there is no impunity for the corrupt at home or abroad.

Our ground-breaking research and work with governments, business and civil society exposes serious governance issues in the UK and where the UK contributes to corruption abroad. Moreover, as the world struggles to rebuild in the shadow of COVID-19, to deal with devastating events like the fall of Afghanistan, and the need to tackle corruption makes front-page news, our global programmes addressing corruption in health and defence and security are increasingly important.

The Fundraising Officer will be joining TI-UK at a pivotal time. We have just launched our ambitious new 10 year strategy setting out how TI-UK will tackle corruption now and in the years to come.  Responsibility for securing the crucial donor support sits within our small but dynamic Evidence and Engagement Team, who lead the organisation’s fundraising, communications, and evidence and impact.  

About the role
Reporting into TI-UK’s Head of Institutional Fundraising, the Fundraising Officer will play a vital role in cultivating relationships, supporting proposal development and in generating income for the fight against corruption. The role spans all TI-UK’s funding streams – trusts and foundations, major gifts, institutional donors and individual giving – making it a rewarding opportunity for someone excited by their contribution to fundraising as a whole.

Your excellent organisational skills, natural ability to build relationships, and your fundraising experience will be key to engaging and collaborating with TI colleagues, prospects and partners within the UK and around the globe. You will identify funding opportunities, manage proposal development processes, and engage and develop your own pipeline of donors.

• Conducting research, identifying, and tracking funding opportunities, preparing funding briefings and alerting teams to opportunities which feed into the funding pipeline and our networks.

• Assisting in coordinating and drafting applications for larger funders
• Helping to report on project and programme impact, promoting TI-UK’s success amongst key stakeholders via donor reporting, contributing to social media content and our newsletter.

2. Use your flair for engaging with others to nurture and grow supporter relationships, fundraised income and our pipeline through:

• Tracking donations, thanking donors, and contributing to maximising Gift Aid income.
• Building deeper relationships with those interested in supporting TI-UK both directly and through growing our ‘Friends of TI-UK’ community and support through events like the Big Give.  

3. Proactively contribute to building a donor portfolio and delivery of fundraising targets: Taking responsibility for identifying, applying to and managing donor relationships with a portfolio of smaller trusts and foundations and individuals, seeking unrestricted funding where possible.

About you

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate an understanding of fundraising and experience in a fundraising environment. Just as important however, will be your enthusiasm for building relationships, organisational skills and confidence to ask prospective donors to support TI-UK’s work.

• Understanding of the international context that TI operates in with a demonstrable interest in anti-corruption, international development, global health and/or defence and security – enabling you to identify relevant funding opportunities for TI-UK’s programmes.

We would consider applicants able to offer full-time or part-time hours towards this role.

This role is also vital in stewarding relationships with corporate partners, as well as driving new business too. Our Community Fundraising Manager is key in nurturing and building relationships with new and existing supporters, and is required to bring in around £500,000 per annum. Please note that this role is offered as a 12 month fixed term contract, to cover maternity leave.

The RNOH Charity’s next Community Fundraising Manager will have:

• Successful track record in fundraising; ideally Community fundraising or Corporate fundraising.
• Demonstrable experience of corporate and community fundraising or the ability to clearly show transferable skills.
• Experience of managing community and events programmes.
• A passion for supporter stewardship and proven experience of driving corporate relationships and community fundraising engagement.
• Demonstrable experience of achieving and exceeding targets.
• Experience of leading others to achieve targets including recruiting and retaining volunteers.

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to identify and secure new funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and help ensure the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

You will be responsible for building and managing a range of multi-year, five and six-figure grants, working with some of the UK’s leading charitable organisations. You will research and target those whose criteria match our aims and activities, coordinate your pipeline with other members of the trusts and statutory team and ensure our work is sustainable and impactful.

Based in our development department, you will also work closely with programme managers and other members of staff across the organisation, including the senior management team.

What we’re looking for

You will be passionate about our work and support our values and ethos. You will be skilled at building new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and other institutional funders to secure both single and multi-year grants, and have experience of managing and increasing grant giving among a portfolio of existing funders. You will be used to working to demanding income targets and able to manage multiple projects, identify conflicting demands and establish priorities to meet objectives.

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive. We campaign to make literacy a priority for our nation’s leaders. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions.

What we offer you

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, season ticket loans, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

While you will be based in our office in London, this role can be peformed primarily from home, and you would only be expected to attend for all staff days (approximately 3 per year), team strategy days (around 2 per year) and any in-person training or induction, and any in person funder meetings as required.

WaveLength is proud to be the UK’s leading charity focusing on loneliness and social isolation, working across the UK in local communities to reduce loneliness for people living in poverty by providing technology such as radios, televisions and tablets.

Research estimates that over 9 million in the UK are lonely at any given time. We help reduce the experience of loneliness by connecting people via technology to their families, support networks and communities. We calculate we work with over 25,000 beneficiaries a year.

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the desperate issue of loneliness for millions
of people and raised awareness of the need for support across a wide range of donors. We want to capture the momentum of this increased awareness to build on our fundraising capability.

With strong fundraising foundations in place, we recently completed a review of our opportunities and resources and have a new focus on refreshing our existing donor base whilst diversifying our income streams. As part of this diversification, we are ambitious to recruit an experienced Digital Lead to develop our digital fundraising and communications activity.

We have a good understanding of our impact and have research that proves what we do works to alleviate loneliness, however we want to be better at weaving this knowledge, insight and personal evidence from the individuals we help into our storytelling, to build stronger and far-reaching supporter engagement through digital and traditional channels.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a driven, ambitious and experienced fundraiser to help us further build and drive our fundraising function forward. Working closely with the CEO, you will help set the digital fundraising and communications strategy, being directly responsible for raising related income and, as we grow and develop, you will also have the opportunity to build, support and lead a dedicated team alongside you. There is excellent scope for professional development within the role; to work autonomously and really own the outcome of your efforts whilst also being part of a supportive, collaborative and dedicated organisation.
